The reason why I have been unable to locate my copy (for at least 12 months) of John Corner’s excellent and very useful article “Performing the Real: Documentary Diversions” (2002) is because it was in the “D” file ( I presume for documentary) rather than the “C”(for Corner which is where it should have been).
In the last few days I have also found a reading by Lyotard in the “B” file and an article by Mimi White in “A”.
I really must improve my filing skills.
And my memory.
And my basic knowledge of the alphabet it seems.

Oh, but filing is the bane of our existence. I have file piles. By topic.
One day I’ll work out if anything is in the right pile.
oh I agree most definitely! I also tend to accumulate file piles….except they are less by topic…well not specific topics anyway…more like “articles i ahve printed and copied because they looked mildly relevant and maybe I’ll read them one day” or
“teaching stuff from term 1 that maybe i need to keep for a while longer in case a student asks a question about a mark”…you know specific categories like that!
