Neccesary Alternates

I've been compiling some of my papers for Jim Grimes, an old anarchist collaborator from the eighties. I want him to review some of my thinking on the work I've been doing.

Anyway as I was printing out various papers (Jim's a Luddite) to send him via post, I began to notice a pattern in my thinking; Its all about alternates (not alternatives) that is I seem to seek-out the unspoken, hidden or suppressed narratives and positions and then bring them to the light.

Its as though I seem to be saying that the whole story must include the thing that is seen as other, diffrenet and alien.

Harold Garfinkel's work and Sausure seem to be combined in this theme.
