Who said one can only play with words? In fact, sometimes one needs to think with images, or with abstraction, pure abstraction, with or without colors. Thinking with the hands, rather than thinking with articulated, verbal discourse.
In this sixth game, you may become one of the painters of the Smithfield Decretals. What about identifying an important theoretical text in order to think about it with doodles, drawings, vignettes, colors, collage, knitting, or any other manual creative activity? What kind of engagement does this represent? What if you had large margins in your copy of Derrida, Foucault, Butler, Cavarero, and had the chance to wander around those margins with absolute freedom, but not one single word?
