still working on Ernesto Laclau...
I have two days left to finish this sonofabitch. I'm very nearly cracked. Have a quote from said:
What an image, right? I'm in the midst of his discussion of empty signifiers and their importance to the formation of the 'people'. It's miles better than the Freudian discussion of group formation. Hallelujah. I've also read most of the second half of the book, so it's just a matter of knocking this section off, and putting the two together.
After Ranciere/Laclau comes my cyber politics essay. I have no clear idea of what I want to do, but I'm still leaning towards Gwen Stefani for the required mini film.
Completely unrelated, but-- True Blood is back on June 14! I wish I had time to do a systematic rewatch of the first season. Who's excited?
Democratic demands are, in their mutual relations, like Schopenhauer's porcupines, to which Freud refers: if they are too far apart, they are cold; if they approach each other too closely in order to get warmer, they hurt each other with their quills.
