If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

Commonwealth Games: yawn « Previous | |Next »

I cannot get enthused about either event. Yawn. Maybe that's me. I'm the arty type.

Then again we can ask: Do the Commonwealth Games hold any credibility as an international sports events anymore, or are they now just a colonial relic, an imperial anachronism? Can and should the Commonwealth Games be re-invented to find a new and distinct place in the political and sporting cultures of the countries of the Commonwealth?

It's a television media spectacle, is it not?
