One of them was a marvellously multicultural phoenix; in a whole <em>Rose <\/em>universe that might be visualised as a constellation of such vignettes and short stories. Some are more fixed in one specific culture or associated with one specific author or written work; some move around; some are hybrids; and some are also stars and constellations, in the Greco-Roman world, or the 13th century French one, or the larger surrounding world at that time.<\/p>\n<p>Here is another phoenix, in a work by a UBC colleague, Carla Nappi, around an idea of &#8220;creative misreading&#8221; that is related, and that&#8217;s also related to the work of <em>commentary<\/em> and of <em>questioning<\/em>: in the weekly blog, in the &#8220;higher&#8221; work of &#8220;higher education,&#8221; and in what may be more familiar as &#8220;the scientific method.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Carla also has work on constellations that might be of interest to you; starting for example with &#8220;Working Paper \u2013 \u201cMagical History, A Lion\u2019s Tail, and A Lock of\u00a0Hair,\u201d 12 April 2015, <a href=\"https:\/\/carlanappi.com\/2015\/04\/12\/working-paper-magical-history-a-lions-tail-and-a-lock-of-hair\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/carlanappi.com\/2015\/04\/12\/working-paper-magical-history-a-lions-tail-and-a-lock-of-hair\/<\/a> (this is a written text, with inages, about a constellation that has different names and stories attached in different cultures).<\/p>\n<p>For more on creative reading (with visuals), see: <a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1531-314X.2010.01128.x\/full\" target=\"_blank\">David Rifkind, &#8220;Misprision of Precedent: Design as Creative Misreading<\/a>,&#8221; <em>Journal of Architectural Education<\/em> 64.2 (2011): 66-75; on &#8220;misprision&#8221;: Harold Bloom, <em>The Anxiety of Influence <\/em>(1973).<\/p>\n<p>Without further ado or tangent or side-note reference: over to Carla:<\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-title\">Carla Nappi, &#8220;Read to Me 2: The One Who Claws At His\u00a0Names,&#8221; 16 January 2013,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carlanappi.com\/2013\/01\/16\/read-to-me-2-the-one-who-claws-at-his-names\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/carlanappi.com\/2013\/01\/16\/read-to-me-2-the-one-who-claws-at-his-names\/<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_524\" style=\"width: 615px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carlanappi.com\/2013\/01\/16\/read-to-me-2-the-one-who-claws-at-his-names\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-524\" class=\"wp-image-524 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/mdvl301a\/files\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-11-03-at-2.50.54-PM.png\" alt=\"screen-shot-2016-11-03-at-2-50-54-pm\" width=\"605\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/mdvl301a\/files\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-11-03-at-2.50.54-PM.png 967w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/mdvl301a\/files\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-11-03-at-2.50.54-PM-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/mdvl301a\/files\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-11-03-at-2.50.54-PM-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/mdvl301a\/files\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-11-03-at-2.50.54-PM-624x335.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-524\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(image links directly to original post)<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pBIlCdhrxYI\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pBIlCdhrxYI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASTRONOMY reading: Nature (Roman de la Rose 246-299) TUESDAY 1 Field-trip to the Day of the Dead offerta, Buchanan Tower lobby.
