Does anyone out there want to talk about the imaginary placement of oneself in a story?
How do we learn this? How can children develop this?
Are our identities fictions we write and rewrite?
If children are free to continually compose, what happens when we expose them to social situations that restrict them? Do they resist, conform, suffer, dream of new ways, or shut down their growth? What are the costs of living within or without conformist institutions for children?
Stories have got to be related to the larger world. They have power and resonance or close down possibilities for what is imagined and created. Reality and imaginary lives are intertwined and are not mutually exclusive.
