    1. Foucault, in a lecture he once gave at Berkeley, embarked upon a discussion of the word “parrhesia,”

      Rather than "turn" being an embedded part (or perhaps the use of scarce quotes makes it embodied?) of the text, Rogoff's use of scarce quotes when using "turn" and subsequent variants of "turn" (linguistic, curating) highlights a clear momentum, whether this be a turn away from, or a turn to, it is interesting to note the potentials, pragmatics and re-framing of the language.

      Is the turning always time or situation orientated?
