C’est donc en raison de ses faiblesses et non de ses réussites que l’université américaine présente une menace: tout l’invite à inventer d’urgence des solutions innovantes et, pour les rentabiliser, à les diffuser à l’étranger. L’Asie sera sa première cible, pour des raisons démographiques et économiques. Mais l’Europe sera également touchée si les Etats-Unis créent … More Ryan Craig
It is true, professors are flowers and have to have sun, water, nice soil and time to read. You cannot jail someone below ground, sentence them to sacrifice and penitence, set them on a time-clock and expect a good result, even if the advisors say that is what is needed. I caught a glimpse of … More Stamani in un urna d’acqua
Miller works the way one did before having to listen to the harangues of professors who read Boice. He lived at Big Sur at one point–perhaps the mystical awareness came to him there. Here are three of his points, with my comments: Work on one thing at a time until finished. [Even when others demand … More Henry Miller was right
I am in the mood never to break or lose anything out of carelessness due to feeling distraught again. Those things only started happening to me when I started putting Reeducation’s life ahead of my own. I am in the mood never to miss a deadline again, or to miss fewer of them. I am … More Des nouvelles
Dame Eleanor Hull has returned, and it is great. Meanwhile, here is an interesting table of contents which shows what the world was like when I undertook my first serious research project. Had I read this issue of this journal more closely then, I would be yet more intelligent now, but I was reading older … More Revista Iberoamericana, o, hoy estoy mucho mejor
This is my meditation for the week and I will remain true to it even though it appears that my dear, rat-tat-tat little computer is not very badly harmed. (Only two keys are still stuck, and it flickered upon rebooting but then came up just fine.) My meditation will be about self-sabotage. I have spilled … More La méditation de cette semaine
For the next three days I will work on this project and remain rational in it, no matter who I talk to or how scary that is. I will put myself first — and putting this first IS putting myself first. For my present purposes anyone else’s irrationality is irrationality of my own that they … More Trois jours de santé
I am easily understood if one understands the reactions of abuse victims. Otherwise everything seems complicated and circular and incomprehensible and exhausting. I fear doing anything on my own behalf because I fear the destruction that will be visited upon me if I do. Acting on my own behalf means flinging myself into an irrational … More Une des versions originelles et plus simples (de la méditation de cette semaine)
This, concisely, was the message of Reeducation: you must be a child. But that is not true. Axé.
It is time to actually read Anti-Oedipus and the discussions of it from those days, in places like this. Here is my Vallejo problem: my issue is psychic invasion, and I have a visceral reaction to the idea of subject shattering. “Then that is a non-liberatory, but binding, shattering,” someone said. What is fractured subjectivity … More Sur Deleuze, et sur le sujet
