		<description><![CDATA[It seems we cannot get enough of the word freedom when discussing dystopian literature. I want to suggest, however, following our discussion on Monday, that freedom has become an essentially meaningless term.
I don&#8217;t mean that to sound nihilistic or un-American; quite the opposite, in fact. Our training in Theory should make us suspicious of terms [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There has been some discussion about Baudrillard&#8217;s &#8220;Spirit  . . .&#8221; as perhaps excusing terror; the idea has been floated that Baudrillard would have that America &#8220;asked for&#8221; 9/11. As I mentioned in class, I don&#8217;t think that reading is &#8220;wrong,&#8221; but that&#8217;s not how I&#8217;ve read him. He does say that it is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The subject of &#8220;race&#8221; plays an interesting and largely unacknowledged role in the novel Children of Men.  The term gets used without explanation or explication, but runs  like a thread throughout the narrative, and I think plays an unexpectedly central role in the novel (which is overtly centralized in the film &#8211; but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[I'm using this orthographic monstrosity "u/dystopia" as a lexeme that denotes the inseparability of utopias and dystopias]
It&#8217;s taken me an inordinately long time to formulate some thoughts on u/dystopia, freedom and collectivity, and post-modernity in Huxley. Why, I am not sure. Not because they are anything particularly profound, that much is certain.

		<description><![CDATA[This afternoon, I went to Jennifer Friedlander&#8217;s lecture, &#8220;Doing the Full Monty With Jacques Lacan.&#8221; On the whole, I found the talk to be engaging and informative. I am unfamiliar with Lacan&#8217;s work, and much of what Professor Friedlander said helped contextualize the bits of Lacanian theory I do know. But when Prof. Friedlander arrived [...]]]></description>

The navy is about to renovate these barracks at considerable expense, even though these barracks have apparently been swastika-shaped since the late 1960s.
They have only become visible as swastikas since the advent of google earth, and satellite imagery.
Before that, they weren&#8217;t anything with any symbolic [...]]]></description>

The problem is that we cannot imagine a body in the absence of interpretation, because to do so would be to imagine one independent of a culture, and language, which themselves already interpret and reinscribe [...]]]></description>

My attempted psychoanalytic reading of Milton&#8217;s &#8220;On Shakespeare 1630&#8221; takes as its starting place Harold Bloom&#8217;s idea of the The Anxiety of Influence which, briefly summarized, revises Freudian Oedipal theory to create a theory of literary influence [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[my notes for week three are appended]
Derrida wrote Dissemination (where Plato&#8217;s Pharmacy first appeared) in 1972, before anyone used the term &#8220;deconstruction.&#8221;  As Lynn points out, this term has become a word without a referent. That doesn&#8217;t make it meaningless, but it ironically points to the lack of a stable &#8220;there&#8221; which words can [...]]]></description>
