This is one of those things (a word that I just covered in earlier essay) that I haven’t really clearly addressed so far. This is related to my own research, so I guess it would only make sense to address. People may or may not be aware that my research deals with texts, by and […]

Peerage, judgment and combat
This time I’ll be looking at something that I read not that long ago, maybe less than a month ago, give or take. It’ll on the short side, I hope. Well, at least the text itself isn’t that long, mere nine pages, so it shouldn’t be too bad. So, this time I’ll taking a close […]

Wheelies and shiny disco balls
So far I’ve managed to cover the first two days of X-SCAPES workshop in Bern, Switzerland. I realize that it’s a hardly optimal, if not simply counterproductive to write these recaps weeks, now over a month, after the conference. Then again, it’s not that I’m helpless, no, I can choose, but rather that if I’m […]

Nonhuman landscapes of nature
I’ve written quite a bit on landscape and, well, I won’t let you down this time either. I’ve particularly focused on how Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari present it in ‘A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia’. I’m not going to focus on that in detail here, again, for the umpteenth time. I’ll do my best […]

Walk the walk, talk the talk
I pointed out that I’d cover more conference presentations as previously I only covered a number of them that were on day one. So, this time I’ll covering day two. The selection is, once again, based on what I found particularly interesting and have something to say about. Starting with bits and pieces, Yael Guilat […]
If my memory serves me, it’s in ‘Gilles Deleuze from A to Z’, a series of conversations with Claire Parnet, that Deleuze expresses his opposition to schools of thought (see “‘P’ as in Professor” and “‘W’ as in Wittgenstein”). He lists, among others (that we could think of here), Ludwig Wittgenstein, Martin Heidegger and Jacques […]

With the Lights On
I’m not fond of doing more of the same, albeit, strictly speaking that’s actually impossible. Anyway, the point here is that I’ve addressed this before in an earlier essay. In that essay I pointed out that I can’t remember what it is that pushed me to this direction, what made me cross a threshold to […]

Your Grace
This is going to be fairly short as this is, essentially, just a recap of the course on aesthetics that I took. The last lecture was nearly two weeks ago, but there wasn’t much new discussed during the last lecture. What was, in part, new was on phenomenology, hermeneutics and semiotics. That said, there wasn’t […]

Bold, Bold, Humboldt
I brought up Wilhelm von Humboldt in an earlier essay, in one of the texts I wrote on the aesthetics lectures. I noted that while apparently fairly influential in the 1800s, as well as in the 1900s, he is one of those figures that have eluded me. This may well be just by chance alone […]

Born off a Horse
What I have in store this time is not like in the previous essay which included some polemical elements. This is probably rather drab in comparison to it. Of course, what’s interesting and what’s not, what’s polemical and what’s not, etc. depends on people. I find this quite fascinating, but I also reckon that for […]
