<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>David Divisio,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>You wrote,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>"Maybe you could help me with a really
simple definition of discourse."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>A particular type of communication.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>A way of thinking, talking, and speaking, about
something, (a subject, a topic, a situation.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>A particular mindset when approaching a
topic.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>May develop out of ideologies, personal or of a
group.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>When i was speaking of discourse i was referring to the
'things' or the signs (the signifiers or representers) used to communicate. i.e.
the signs the communicater uses and the things the reciever uses to
interpret the communication.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I wrote " circular discourse, where conscious knowledge
is brought in to the new found knowledge brought out by the
creativity."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>You wrote, "So are you saying what comes out of the
computer is meeting my knowledge and creativity is the link."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Yes, sort of,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>What i meant was</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>you have your own history and knowledge, using
that you creatively, unconsciously or consciously pick out words, scribbles,
enter them into the computer, the computer does what it does, and what
comes out of the computer is interpreted creatively by any observer
including yourself, within their own discourse, using their own thoughts, views,
ideologies. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I don't know what happens with the computer, but
i don't think it is possible to say the computer is creative.</FONT></DIV>
