Cinnabar and Alabaster

passages:
80. they've seen "instances among [their] students and among [their] colleagues where collaboration has become a (risky) type of competition" or where "one person... becomes a 'leader' and exercises a disproportionate amoung of control over the other group members"
81. it's not a vacuum--their participation in taking their "turns" vary as much b/c of real life as the project
83. metaphors--contortionism but w/o "connotations of oddity or pain"; fabric (they don't develop that one but i would)
84. "the tension between individual and collective voice was one of the most essential issues [they] negotiated together"--> "each of us knows that our thinking and writing are certainly a product of all our interaction, and in that way are collaborative, but they're not ONLY or TOTALLY collaborative"
85. "dialogue WITHIN...and THROUGH" has the danger of becoming "the 'Gollum-like' 'we' stuff" (where the "i" becomes "we"); additionally problematic can be how collaborators "seem unable (unwilling?) to delete or do much substantive revision. why is that? i think i'm afraid of making a 'mistake' or taking out something that one of both of you thinks is 'essential.'" no one wants to be "coerced toward consensus"
86. Johnson compared the implications of Bruffee's idealism about collaboration to "naziism, fascism, and communism" and a danger to "the integrity of the individual creative thinker" <--endorses "a Cartesian epistemology"; Bruffee's response re-emphasizes "collaboration as an ongoing, constantly negotiated process"
88. more metaphors--cooking chili & co-labor (giving birth & coaching)
90. "[their] final product is proving to be more than just the sum of the parts [they've] each contributed"
93. "anything each [collaborator] says is colored by what the others say (hence, no contribution is truly individual)"
