| Abstract: | What you will find contained within the next few pages is no ordinary article. Or, at least, no article constructed in the ordinary way in which academic communication is contained. Rather, drawing on our creative/critical school Ullapoolism, what ensues is a playful approach towards a paper object and, as a consequence, a way of communicating, conveying, and containing knowledge. It is a textual container, but one which works in an unusual way. As such, ‘Points, Pincers and Paper Play: The Containing and Uncontaining Work of Chatterboxes’ needs something of a user’s manual for reading. The article is structured like the object of its focus, the ‘chatterbox’, or paper fortune teller (Figure 1) whose provenance and purpose is explored within. |
