I have such a hard time in understanding what she writes. And the video does not help... But the idea seems to be interesting!

Ten years later I find Apter's book by chace in our library and intrigued by it's read a few lines and think, yes seems interesting, I'll take it out and read. To say the language is dense is an understatement. But as my Portuguese teacher once suggested when reading a book in a non native tongue, try not to rrach for the dictionary. Reading Apter's book requires the dame disciplina from me, but I'm grasping enough of it by p56 to retain my interest. Having just found this talk by the author on her own book or at least relating to it's subject matter, I'm amused and in a way delighted that her narrative is as challenging to the non-specialist (i.e. me) as her writing. Looking forward to finishing her book and accessing some of the very copius scholars she references. 😁

If you can’t explain something clearly, you don’t really understand it well yourself
