Leslie Scalapino

I mourn the passing of Leslie Scalapino. Her brilliant work with temporality, narratival structure, gender, sonics, meaning, transcendencies, corporealities, the Mind...I was always amazed by what she was doing. With many, all too many perhaps, of course the work and the person are not equally amazing - but with Leslie this was not the case. She mentored and supported and influenced so many, and was a force of good. No, I did not know her well. She knew me by name, perhaps because every time ...

The Ideology of Choice: The Norplant® Condition and Voices of Resistance

CHAPTER FIVE

The Ideology of Choice: The Norplant® Condition
and Voices of Resistance

1. Introduction
"Between equal rights, force decides" (Marx 1990, 344).

To this point, the contributions of Foucault and Arendt in understanding Norplant® as a problem in political power have been introduced and briefly examined. Foucault's compelling notions of disciplinary power, power/knowledge, as well as his elaboration of power in The History of Sexuality, Volume I, all highlight the hegemonic components ...

Late last night saw some guy walking in these with a small portable television as a necklace and a helmet on and I thought is this real? Pulled over to gas station and some guy in a suit seemed 1955 in there, dress, demeanor - he and the cashier only talked in pennies. ("What is this 3 hundred fifty nine cents? You robbin me without a gun!") I left and the was springboard guy again. On my corner, a bald man stood in the intersection waving a wig screaming "we are going to the gas chamber!" On...

Chapter Four

Working Through and Out of the Straitjacket of Logic:
Arendt's Politics of Natality and Memory

1. Introduction

"It has often been observed that the validity of the statement 2+2=4 is independent of the human condition" (Arendt 1994, 318).

"For there is a divine and, if I may express it, productive energy which cannot be made, but makes" (Augustine, (426 AD) 1998, 536).

"That there be a beginning, man was created before whom there was nobody" (Augustine (426 AD) 1998, 532).

watched The Hills. Also, noted that William Dafoe had some hair job (wig, implants?) in The Antichrist. It was a pretty good movie, but I kept being distracted by his hair. Some of the distance shots look like Hugh Grant. I don't know who that is insulting or complimenting. I wish Greg Oden was around.
