I was fascinated with the book Working It Out not because it discussed womens’ right to work but to have a work. This is what was missing from my academic training. I learned very well how to do the work and how to work, and how to produce work, but I did not learn that … More On Having a Work
I have finally understood this, and the BLUFFER OF THE DAY AWARD goes to my painter Jean Chrétien. His remarks meant, in essence: I, Mr. Antony, and my sons have all as good as seen you naked, and we have discussed it. It was an attempt to disarm so I would feel less confident about … More Illumination: j’ai compris / mo té compendre
In the first place, Wilbert Rideau and many other former prisoners and wardens, as well as a Federal judge or two, all deserve more credit for the reforms at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola there than does the dishonest and incredibly self serving current warden, Burl Cain. I am amazed at how Cain has … More On Bluffing
1. As the astute reader knows, I have this blog because I do not have an analyst. I spend a great amount of time writing myself through emotional pain, pain I might not suffer if I simply changed my life, but which I must get control of in order to be able to change my … More Progress
I always did like Alberto Moreiras; I like this article and the journal it is in; thanks, SpanishProf, for this and much else. Highlights: …los efectos del mobbing son muy similares a los del síndrome de estrés postraumático: ansiedad, insomnio, obsesión, dificultades en el trabajo, y una pena profunda que se hace indescriptible e injustificable … More On Poison at Work

This blog has gone somewhat old-timey in the past few days because I am convincing myself to go to this passion play they are putting on at Angola. I will go for the sakes of some of the players, although I would like to boycott this event given my objection to the fact that, in … More Aaron Neville
As we know, I am fascinated with Working It Out. I need to put this volume aside, though, so as to pore over other things. I also think I will see some things in it more clearly still if I come back to it later, yet I do not want to leave it unfinished on … More Miriam Schapiro, Celia Gilbert
I am becoming myself again at long last; I can feel my life flowing back to me. On the radio they are discussing managing your (musical) career “as though it were a work of art itself” and I like the concept. * I am still reading Working It Out which is a really epoch making … More Adrienne Rich
In the late 1950s Evelyn Fox Keller, then a PhD student, was the object of a rather successful demoralization campaign in the Department of Physics at Harvard University (Working It Out, 77-91). Why she was admitted to the program if her abilities were not in fact trusted is a fair question whose answer, I wager, … More Evelyn Fox Keller
