Hi Deke,
In 7 days I will have this issue "right there on my shelf", so if you dont
mind the wait -or if no one else emerges with help-, Ill be happy to do it.
I have used this quote before, and am curious to know what you are working
on (email suppressed).
May I invite you to read this
piece<http://www.experimentalconversations.com/reviews/395/cinema-now-wants-a-body-or-the-politics-of-the-red/>in
which I refer to Sharits' 'Statement'.
Very best,
Esperanza.
