it’s not what you say
the point Biljana is making in this part of the essay remains --- Even with these actions aimed at “preaching†the challenge remains: there is no guarantee that an spectator of an ACTION carried out by us will necessarily capture its original MEANING as she/he could not be aware in full detail of the CONTEXT that brought ourselves to carry out the action the spectator is perceiving. Besides, our intentions can be MISREPRESENTED in the mind of the spectator if she/he has not being part of the dynamics of INTERACTIONS that preceded our action being just observed. The possibility of an intake/UPTAKE by the spectator that goes far away from what is “really†going on, is still potentially there.
