Practice question · Select all that apply
Which are true of Kwon's three senses of site?
Hints
- Three describe the senses; one applies the strongest consequence to all of them.
- A work whose site is a debate can travel.
Show the answer
- A. A phenomenological site is a physical location whose conditions the work depends on
- C. A social or institutional site is the institution and its conditions
- D. A discursive site may be a debate rather than a place
Why
The fourth is exactly what the distinction exists to prevent. Only the phenomenological sense is destroyed by relocation; a work whose site is a discourse can be shown in several cities without loss, because its site was never the room.
