Introduction

[scott wilkerson]

Jim,


Thank you very much indeed. I'm not so sure it's that far afield. I find 
that the discourse of spatiality, in any one particular sense, opens a space 
for yet further connections and surprising interpenetrations. So, while I do 
not claim it is all one narrative, I do believe there exists a kind of 
rhizomic network of relations.

Respectfully,

Scott
