CW2006 Presenation: Lakoff DVD

I’ve watched the companion DVD to the Elephant book, How Democrats and Progressives Can Win: Solutions from George Lakoff, several times this evening—for lazy reasons, as it seemed much easier than slogging all the way through the book and I needed to feel like I was accomplishing something. The video is really to short to be very helpful. It’s as if Lakoff decided to read the outline to us. Very little explanation. I was hoping for more, especially for what I paid for it. Oh well.

Still much to figure out, and I’ve pulled a number of books off of the shelf. At some point, I acquired The Power of Metaphor in the Age of Electronic Media by Raymond Gozzi, Jr., and apparently I need to skim through it. Ir worries me too that I don’t know how Media Ecology fits into my A/B scheme. I keep running into it,and it feels as if it’s just beyond what I’m doing. But it troubles me that it keeps coming up. How can I possibly work anything else into this craziness?
