In literary theory TEXTS are any object that can be “read,” or interpreted–whether the object is a book, a street sign, the way a city block is organized, or styles of clothing.  I named this section “TEXTS” because it will be the place where we deposit and archive the variety of photographs, maps, paintings, literature, academic writing and news articles that we will bring to the discussion table during the year.  They will be categorized by course and date for easier access.
