Recently read: The History Of Sexuality by Michel Foucault.

I finally read this book from cover to cover after having examined bits of it at different times in the past. There are a few things I don’t really like about this book, but it is an interesting discourse on the history of, and power issues involved, with sexuality. I’ll have a few more posts examining a few lexias in more detail soon.

Recently read: Foucault: A Very Short Introduction by Gary Gutting.

I picked this one up awhile ago and didn’t read it until a few weeks ago. As the title states, this is a brief introduction to Foucault’s work and some of his influences. A bit dry in some parts, it does do a sufficient job though. I want to read more about Panoptic prisons.

I have put together Toni & I’s notes from our collaborative presentation entitled into a single PDF for viewing. I am very proud of our work during the spring semester. We worked together and pooled our interests, both unique and similiar, to examine the political history of how “texts” are defined.

All of this will be going back into my MA thesis, which due to some financial constraints, has not seen much new research but a few new branches in my thinking have developed. More on that soon. I can happily announce as well that I started the first version of a rough draft a few days ago. Once I have something remotely resembling a semi-completed draft I will leave a continually updated link on the sidebar for those who would like to follow along.

A brief Weekly Reader this week.  I finished up my summer course on Monday and have been dealing with job applications since.  Back to normal next week.

• By far the best review of Armageddon In Retrospect I have read is the one in The Quarterly Conversation.

• From Slayage issue twenty four, Julie Sloan Brannon’s essay about power structures in season six and seven of Buffy The Vampire Slayer “It’s About Power”: Buffy, Foucault, and the Quest For Self.  I am particularly interested in Brannon’s discussion of season six and Campbell’s “refusal of return.”

Recently read: Untying The Text: A Post Structuralist Reader by Robert Young.

I tracked down (not easy; most are very expensive!) a copy of this collection because there were a few essays by Barthes and Foucault I had not read before collected in it. The Barthes’ essay Theory Of The Text looks like it is going to be essential for the direction my MA thesis is taking. More on that and notes from this essay soon.
