This week I've been asked to examine the hegemonies that operate to preserve historical evidence, and how the preserved evidence is shaped by those hegemonies. In turn, I need to try to figure out what hegemonies I'm operating under and what biases I bring to my work.
It's hard to figure out what is a basic truth and what is something ingrained by society.
I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
