I thought I would share another fascinating article that I read a few weeks back, about Fearless Girl and Charging Bull in Bowling Green Park, Lower Manhattan. The author, Greg Fallis, brings to discussion the power of symbolism and the role of commercialization in the appropriation and exploitation of meaning.
I realize this article doesn’t (directly) tie to what we’ve been talking about in class recently and might be more of a ‘class links’-type find. However, I think Fallis’ greater point––that meaning is situational––is one that certainly applies to different aspects of the Dream as we’ve looked at it.
