I like James Robinson. He’s thoughtful and funny and his work is very separate from what the rest of the world is doing. Read his “essay” about Native Americans up now at Requited. He’s not just studying language, he’s plowing right through it, right into social constructs, and figuring out how we act the way we act. Charts and drawings and guides are always appearing in James’s works. I think it’s because words and language are not enough for what he’s trying to do, and he’s not satisfied with saying, “Look! Words failed. Isn’t that cool?”
