As "civilization" first became a reality (it's beyond my scope to say when/where/how/etc.), I'm sure the benefits of having easily accessible shared resources became obvious. <br /><br />It would then follow that civilization is safe, and the wilderness is dangerous and barbaric. Thus, anyone still living in that wilderness was barbaric themselves, and should be feared for their "savagery." <br /><br />I think any culture that comes from "civilization" in that respect helps foster this fear, and gives its citizens a sacred/profane lens to view the outside world from. <br /><br />Sorry for the delayed response!

I don't want to ...That's precisely it! Yes. I don't want to put words in your mouth, so I will simply ask, what are your thoughts on the origin of that impulse? Would you place it in a psychological place? My thoughts tend to lean more towards the socially / culturally determined, such that it's the various forces of religion, culture, et cetera that cause these impulses. But perhaps those forces get some of their relevant motivations and predispositions from that place of existential terror?<br /><br />Or, maybe, the two aren't as mutually exclusive as my immediate impulse says there is? I pretty much assume that's the case. I'd love to hear your thoughts.<br /><br />This week's Sunday post will be focusing on technology and tools in this whole civilizing process. But yes, the effects on the people within this processes and forces are the central point in the later parts of my thesis, with the contemporary influence of the frontier and these processes in the 20th and 21st centuries.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment, and for reading!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JeffAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807409448141856680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461384844115909929.post-54209742362020321312011-06-06T00:44:11.483-04:002011-06-06T00:44:11.483-04:00I think what's most fascinating about this is ...I think what's most fascinating about this is the immediate otherizing that results from the sacred/profane distinction, and how it not only transforms the landscape but also the people (which I believe you will touch upon soon). Perhaps this is just the wannabe psychologist in me, but I can't help but view it as the product of so much terror: we are the good people in the sacred place, and anything different than us must be avoided or conquered to prevent its inherent harm. The woman standing on top of the lily pad is the perfect image of wrangling in the other into an ordered space to be done to it what we please. It's tragic this attitude also includes other individuals and cultures.Vincentnoreply@blogger.com
