Goals 2018-06-07 Half of Section 2 of 4

Today, I will try to write at least half of section 2 (now of 4!), which focuses on the way that karate assemblages suggest a reexamination of the way we conceive of the local/global dynamic.

    No where near my goal today, got bogged down in writing the opening vignette for the chapter (so it was still productive, just on a different task)
