good morning hustlers lets get into it

[sammy @counter_giraffe]

@enniottefire yes, it's great. perry anderson wrote a nice review of it which convinced me to read, and i haven't regretted it

[leftpain @left_plain]

Oh, and 007? Do try not to call them “foids” this time…

@rskhm__ people forget Brecht's important influence on Barthes, which is the link here imo

@SedimentedGeist bc of this i'm inclined to defend her from the accusation that she misreads them & gets them basically wrong... she has her own project & the critique is instrumental to that

[sammy @counter_giraffe]

@SedimentedGeist absolutely. imo DoN is best read less as a series of hit pieces (which it also is) and more as an attempt to use the french as a way to get her particular conceptuality of law off the ground, & this would not be possible if they weren't already very close to her problematic

Edward Said isn't responsible for that. He is responsible however for a sort of offensive sentimentalism about 'the third world' with his anti-marxist and reductionist view of the relationship between the Arab world and Europe.

@nonchalantly_ you seem to have a serious problem with FJ but i do not understand what it is. the man loved reading, loved style, he wrote dozens of reviews in non-academic fora, i don't understand what you're saying

i come from a long line of orientalists

@conatusbonatus cards on the table i think Deleuze and Hegel are quite close (shared commitment to immanence, critical inheritance of Kantianism) and this is all the better for Deleuze. i am perplexed at Deleuzians who insist on inheriting 60s French anti-Hegelianism, there's simply no need imo

[sammy @counter_giraffe]

@conatusbonatus what do you think is at stake in the insistence that Deleuze is not an idealist and not a closet Hegelian?
