These notes jump but it is still interesting to see how a transcription of a four-part relation is paired with musings about the thinker’s limitations in regards to cross-modal sensory translations.
Nelson Goodman
Ways of WorldmakingAs meanings vanish in favor of certain relationships among terms, so facts vanish in favor of certain relationships among versions.
In proposing such a proportional analogy, does the logic of version and that of term dovetail?
meanings : term :: fact : version
comment:
Cross-modal Quotation
Goodman’s sense of picture does not extend to dramatic tableaux via sculpture ∴ he cannot account well for sight-sound combos in performance art. His notion of containment equals enclosure and does not posit an encompassing frame that regulates reference in cross-modal structures.picture can quote sound & vice versa —> replicas, inscriptions & utterances
Intriguing how my little comment reads via the contrast of “enclosure” and “frame” — almost as if I was channelling the notions of “term” and “version”.
And so for day 1902
