Just received the book "Shape of a Pocket" by John Berger from Amazon today, - it's a collection of essays in a paperback format, (not unlike "Ways of Seeing" by the same author). I've not had chance to look at it though, it seems to be one for me to use when I'm in transit somewhere and have a 20-30 minute uninterrupted slot to loose myself in... The concept is interesting though, in as much as the Author is referring to a 'pocket' as the pocket of resistance one finds in a human behavioural / social / political sense. this is only a short blog, but I need to commit my time to continue reading and researching my ten favourite contemporary thinkers for my Art in Context essay / presentation in a few weeks...
