It's hard to pitch and sustain this kind of perspective, and I can't easily point to other places where it's up front in the same way. Culture is so saturated with idealist perceptions of 'knowledge' as 'a body' or as accumulatable 'stuff'.

I'm not really sure what Mike meant by this, and Mike himself doesn't seem to have a clear description.. But it's interesting and provocative and I [[Trust Situated Knowing]] from Mike. I'd guess that Mike's gist is around knowledge being a relationship rather than an abstract thing.
