- I distinctly remember that much of what I read on LJ/DW, back when I was gainfully employed, was prefaced with "I should be working on my [homework/paper/thesis/some other school related thing], but I'm [writing/reading/vidding] fannish stuff, instead!" And I remember thinking how nice it was going to be to have some free time once I got back to school...
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
- A lot of our readings reference the writing of dead white guys that I should have already read but haven't--Hegel, Nietzsche, Marx, Lacan, Foucault... I feel like I've jumped into the middle of a very long discussion (decades long, centuries long--which is, I think, an accurate description) and am having trouble picking up all of the conversational threads.
I would love suggestions for either:
- Good, introductory books on any of these guys (or others I should be familiar with.
- A basic, key article/paper/argument from any of 'em that I should tackle to start.
In thanks, may I offer music? (Seriously, check out the awesome chick rocking slide on the
electric cigar box guitar.)
