Learning from kids
  • The story of Joe
  • The story of the Yamaji boy
  • Things in their ears
  • New forms and terms of engagement with what we
    count as cultural.
  • Portable privatisation of culture? Maybe, but Joe
    and the Yamaji boy know a lot more about more
    cultures than I did when I was their age. That
    may count much more than the solipsism we
    associate with digital devices.
  • These devices or cultural technologies are
    their babel fish and enable them to understand
    and speak other languages and engage other forms
    of cultural expression
