You seem to have had an "integrative moment", where important connections come clear. I will make this comment. My discussion of course TEXTS yesterday emphasizes my conceptual framework: SELF, OTHER, GROUP. So my starting with memoir and personal experience may fit the economic zeitgeist in ways I hadn't considered. But I've always seen the goal as not simply focusing on SELF, but moving outward. It's not individual vs. community, it's individual within community. Or Elbow within Bartholomae. Well, I can’t really answer your questions, but I like the direction of this posting.
