Today I have to force myself to think out how to express the ‘Active and Positive relationship’, only because the microphone will be returned tomorrow. Sometime, working under pressure can really help thinking, creative thinking. So I just remember the table example that Adrian said in class, he took that example in couples times.
He said that “Just look at this table in front of us, it made up of wood. We normally will say that we chose this wood to be made of this table, why don’t we say that this wood chose to be made of the table in this room, in front of us.” (Not totally the original one) Whatever, but this example reminds me a point that in normal thinking and recolonization, people is the active object, choosing wood to make table. When we change our mind, in ontology or onto-cartography, wood could be the active objects, because we all are equal.
There is a truth that whether which object is the active one, the Active and Positive relationship won’t change, which means the sounds of relationship won’t change. For example, still the table example. Ignore which is the active or positive side, we have already known that there is a relationship between the people and wood, certainly the table is the agency. Because of the existing of this relationship, there is process of making table, such as delivering wood. And all the sounds from this process, namely from this relationship won’t change. The sounds still the sounds.
So follow this direction, I decided to record the original and common sounds in the kitchen.
For example, ‘Carrot cuts the knife’. Yap in common understanding, carrot can’t cut the knife, knife is the active one and carrot must be positive. However, in the understanding of ontology, carrot can cut the knife, and the sounds is same to the sounds that knife cuts carrot. That’s it.
