With the tories back it’s time to drag out the CR@SS records again!
Came across your site via the Wu Ming Blog and was immediately hooked and somewhat confused. I’m a (part-time) student myself, midway through a History degree. This being my second, the first being in International Relations and Politics. So there is the first point of correlation. My second is that I have recently began to skim the works of Focault and Debord, but not having a background in political philosophy I am finding it something of a struggle. Could you point me in the direction of any books / sites whereby I can gain the foundations for more fruitful enquiry?
Finally are you familiar with the now defunct US punk band J Church? Probably could have had a go at MTV breakthrough if they did not include readings lists on their records that are similar to those I am seeing on your.
I was wondering if you were American? I’ve not seen many Americans pursuing PhDs in Continental Philosophy—almost always Analytic; what sort of additional commentary [from you] do you suppose we may see in the future?
A more honest characterization of my work would note that I’m in an inter-disciplinary humanities program. Furthermore, I have yet committed to any single academic field or made any contributions to a specific ‘community of scholars.’
As for my relationship to Continental Philosophy in particular, it has been embarrassingly one-sided so far. Mostly theft and piracy. But, I dislike the term ‘theorist.’ And while I have disavowed philosophy enough times to understand why they wouldn’t have me, it seems an adequate fit for now.
Hello from the bad 80′s revival that is the UK?

Take care and good luck with the study

mark x,
thanks for the kind comments.
i guess it all depends on what you’re into. or more importantly, what you want to use it for!
if you give me a few ideas of what gets you going and what you read for, i’ll be able to come up with some good ideas of what you might like.
until then, awc
quite simply: i fucking love your blog (and your theoretic-political trajectory). so i added you the roll…
m-
awesome! Thanks!
