Letter from Christy C. Bulkeley
Politics – November 2005 – Colorado Central Magazine
Dear Martha:
This is mostly so you’ll know you’re not writing to a vacuum. Your commentary debunking the frames/ metaphors/stereotypes involved in George Lakoff’s Don’t Think of an Elephant and his earlier Moral Politics, the fuller, academic treatment of the topic, prompts this note. His work sent me in a different direction — back to the work from other academic fields documenting the connecting ways many of us relate to the world more naturally than we do to the dominant linear, hierarchal, patriarchal — the both-and approaches rather than the either-or.
