Elina I wanted to express my appreciation of the quote you sign off with by Tagore. It captures the central imperative of foregrounding context and traditions in the emergence of self-consciousness [the string] BUT that without the string there is no violin. I find myself often reflecting on the implications this perspective elaborates. One suggestion I would like to suggest on the emergence of self-consciousness is Andy's vimeo podcast on the Historical roots of cultural-historical theory.
