-A post on Marshall McLuhan vs. Raymond Williams.
-A post on why literary theory doesn't deal with aesthetics (often perplexing to those outside literature).
-A post on the dividual in Deleuze and notions of community, via a nice passage from Red Mars.
-A post on Jameson's deep notion that postmodern theory ends up thinking (only) the body.
-Another post on Addison, with special guest Addison.
And, of course, lots over a the Latour blog. We're reading a bunch of essays now, and revisiting the amazing Aramis.
I'm a bit all over the place lately, no? Oh well--it's post-examination time, and all I'm doing is trying to expand ideas before locking down that dissertation proposal.

All over the place but in an impressive way. I think you shoul do a post on how you manage to read so much. If I had to outline how little I read in a month they'd probably chuck me out of my PhD program. Certainly how little I read outside philosophy. I've still not managed to read any Latour despite promising myself to do. What are you reading for the group now? I might just on board at this late stage especially since you'll be moving into other writers in the coming months.
Wow Mike, a lot of stuff coming up! No wonder you tend to dissapear now and then. I'm reading your message... trying to diggest it all. Will respond as soon as possible.
Thanks for this post by the way. I've just stumbled upon it!
Mach's gut!
