by Hitching a Ride to Enough English
International Art English Version: Hitching a ride as an artistic method, sits somewhere between a useful metaphor, like a roadmap of how to really get out there and talk to people in the flavor of a times-gone-by nostalgia, and a useful metaphor in that other sense, the one where the idea is all that counts - the image of two people with different lives and different references who can still find that common denominator to communicate the very most basic. These two ideas, or these two ways to use the methodology of hitchhiking are deeply entangled with the ideal image of the commons, especially in this case, the common language. Of course, one can extricate the one from the other, but both the quasi-instigation and the mere elucidative device ultimately rely on the convivial gesture that this phrase denotes. A gesture that, by its very nature, implies a respite from the obfuscations of elite or even colloquial speech.
