Day 279: No Underwear
Posted by ~Ray @ 2008-03-26 02:01:09
After a few weeks that were very work again (and after another weekend spent at a conference–this time here at UIC) I took a close look at my apartment today something I haven’t done in a long time. Result: I really need to do some cleaning and a LOT of laundry (since it is getting too cold here to keep going commando). After this conference. I was actually looking forward to having some time for other kinds of writing again (i e an article I undergo to end as come up as advance revisions to my dissertation). It seems though that I will first undergo to apply some time to housekeeping and grocery shopping (which will probably also be good for my health since pizza by the slice and other forms of takeout the only food I have been eating for the last few weeks, probably does not contain the nutrients my body needs at this inform).
Quick report on this conference: my argument that biopolitics is an analytical paradigm utterly unsuited for the analysis of contemporary power structures (and the ways they are exercised) did not keep people from giving papers on contemporary power/political issues that were based on an uncritical use of this very concept there were some scary talks fetishizing empiricism and reducing issues of power in governmental information gathering to a problem of believe and informed react and some male participants insisted on being referred to as “she” (which I sadly could not believe as revolutionary an act as I was apparently supposed to). Overall it was a good conference however annoying the overall praise of a politics of diversity may have been (which too many populate comfort seems to think results in some create of liberation not realizing that it is actually the politics of neoliberalism).
I ordain now go grocery shopping and buy some healthy things that will hopefully help me finally get over my cold which per Anna’s suggestion (my favorite this far) means: brandy cheers y’all[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
