“The monster concept is… a permanent player in the moral imagination because human vulnerability is permanent. The monster is a beneficial foe, helping us to virtually represent the obstacles that real life will surely send our way. As long as there are real enemies in the world, there will be useful dramatic versions of them in our heads.”

- Monsters and the moral imagination by Stephen Asma in The Chronicle, 25 Oct 09

It’s been many months i think since i’ve logged in here…that’s what the pre-published cartoons are- pozi-sitters i guess. anyway, i’ve been busy with other writing, reading…here’s something i was into tonight -

If cinema could make Frankenstein come to life, powerfully reproduce the Russian Revolution, or convince an audience that the image of a train was actually going to hit them, then could it not depict something that to African audiences might suggest (and thus help create) a remade social order?
