So I took all the vowels out of the word Decontextualizing, which I had intended to be the original title of this post. Consonants without the context of vowels has to be a metaphor for something.
That's the problem with blogs. You don't know me, and you probably never will. If I post a lot here, you may decide that that you can infer something about me (arrogant and pretentious are often words that come up for some reason). But without the context of knowing me in the flesh, or at least interactively you will not not me at all.
It's been said that that art has to stand on its own, and be it's own statement. I think that that robs art of its richness, making it a room without furniture. For example, pop culture works because we share the context of transient culture and experience. "Great Art" works because the context is the human condition. But when you know the artist, or the blogger, that knowledge opens up many more lanes of communication, monolog and dialog, perception and assumptions. I happen to know a couple of artists, and my appreciation of their art is much richer, if not necessarily any more favourable as a result.
......thought break.....
If I say that a company , "....helps organizations to build effective networks..." What would you think? Wire networks? Sales networks? Internal communications?
What about, "...we mix vision and practical experience to tap into the power of collaboration -- connecting, supporting and amplifying the work of network-based projects."?
Sounds like major marketing babble, but these and other gems can be found on a site for, among other things, social entrepreneurship and social technology. Context at work again.

Have a thoughtful day.
