“How do you get into magazines? How can you get on TV or in your local newspaper? What can you do so others will take notice of your art? When I was first trying to get noticed, all of these questions went through my mind. After a lot of trial of error and a lot of reading, I began to understand the world of public relations.” WorldTryingMindFirstsArtReadingTvsRelationErrorsNewspapersTrialsLocalsMagazinesPublic Relations Author:Mark Edward

“In some central and important cases, ... the existence of specific power relations in the society will produce an appearance of a particular kind. Certain features of the society that are merely local and contingent, and maintained in existence only by the continual exercise of power, will come to seem as if they were universal, necessary, invariant, or natural features of all forms of human social life, or as if they arose spontaneously and uncoercedly by free human action.” IfsHumansKindImportantSeemsActionFormCertainSocialNaturalExistenceCasesProduceParticularExerciseUniversalRelationAppearanceLocalsFeaturesSocial LifeHuman Actions Book:Philosophy and Real Politics Source: Philosophy and Real Politics
“Art lives on the mental plane (the real painting is not the set of dry pigments on the canvas nor is a symphony the sequence of sound waves that convey it to our ear) but, as the post-modernists insist, is reinterpreted in new contexts by each appreciator. As for gossip, which includes the vast majority of our thoughts, its essence is its relation to a unique local part of time and space.” ArtRealSoundSpacePaintingUniqueEssenceEarsRelationMathematicsMajorityWaveLocalsPostsPlanesDryGossipCanvasOur ThoughtsTime And SpaceSequenceSymphonyPigmentArt LifeSound Waves Author:David Mumford
“An alloy of innocence and arrogance, young (Ted) Williams came to Boston when it had four morning and four evening local newspapers engaged in perpetual circulation wars. He became grist for their mills, and his wars with the sportswriters brought out the worst in him, and cost him. He won two Most Valuable Player Awards and finished second four times.

“There's politics. When you talk about Asia - no one really wants to approach that full-force because it's very thin ice. No one wants to harm the relations with Asia, where most of those products are going to and being exported to.

“For me, places are articulations of 'natural' and social relations, relations that are not fully contained within the place itself. So, first, places are not closed or bounded - which, politically, lays the ground for critiques of exclusivity. Second, places are not 'given' - they are always in open-ended process. They are in that sense 'events'. Third, they and their identity will always be contested (we could almost talk about local-level struggles for hegemony).” FirstsGivenSocialProcessNaturalLevelsStruggleEventsIdentityThirdsRelationLaysLocalsCritiqueHegemonySecond PlaceArticulationSocial RelationsExclusivity Author:Doreen Massey
