Lecture Report
Last night, CTS hosted Namita Goswami of DePaul University, who gave an excellent paper entitled "On the Limits of Postcolonial Identity Politics."At dinner afterward, I mentioned that I had recently met a DePaul student with similar interests and who, as it happens, is going to be her TA next quarter -- and made the mistake of telling her that I met this person through "my blog." Despite my warnings to the contrary, she has threatened to "check out" The Weblog.
At least I have advance warning this time -- it's not as bad as Eric Santner unexpectedly showing up to read a thread in which he was numbered among "the worst-dressed group of adult men" a certain commenter had ever seen and in which he witnessed the creepy fascination with Alenka Zupancic evinced by many in our blogo-social circles.
In any case, anyone wishing to find more serious and academic materials is encouraged to visit the other blog, An und für sich. Those who are content with petty griping, occasional political rants, and (apparently) football picks are welcome to leave their browsers pointed here.
