In her wide ranging and provocative essay, Carrie Menkel-Meadow manages to portray both of self assurance of the mature scholar and experienced practitioner, as well as (serially, if not quite simultaneously) the anxiety and doubt of the self critical agnostic thinker.

These comprise the two "texts" of my title and, in my reading of it, the underlying dynamic of her essay: Context matters in conflict analysis and dispute resolution practice, says the assured scholar and experienced practitioner.
