Abstract
Greene's insight and insistence into the possibilities the arts hold for crossing the empty spaces between us, for giving credence to alternative realities, and for creating openings through which we might move are sense-abilities that ebb and flow in this article by Rubén Gaztambide-Fernández (2020), "The Orders of Cultural Production." The questions I have posed here, then, are a riff on Rubén's own provocation that arts education as orders of cultural production opens the door for us to enter into a particular kind of relational, affective, and political work, which pushes against discourses that dominator cultures impose, and it is to this aspect of his work I would like to now pay attention. [...]if symbolic orders can be altered through cultural production, then it is also possible to relocate and re-signify what we mean by "the arts" in order to put the concept to work for other purposes. Here, I again draw similarities with Rubén 's work and Weil, who sought to pay attention, serious attention, to the material and social surroundings in which we find ourselves and the ways in which our singular but shared and situated socio-material condition becomes entangled with a search to live a more ethico-onto-epistemological and response-able life.
