In Conversation with Consciousness Weston G. W. Wood This intimate view of discourse, grounded in ecology, invites us to think of ourselves as <strong>the</strong> conversational components and composers of larger systems. Dependent on each o<strong>the</strong>r as we are, we may use <strong>the</strong>se transcribed texts to transform how we live our relationships touched by systemic exploitation. Gradually we might shift our notions of self, from those of <strong>the</strong> domineering individual who understands most o<strong>the</strong>r life as inferior and exploitable, towards one that coevolved conversationally with a multitude of voices, one that is part of a nurturing community. For <strong>the</strong> inherently more powerful, I believe listening grounded in this method can continue to prove to be a provocative political and ecological act. References Abram, D. (1996).
