Okay, now click...not.

Okay, even though sheherazahde (I don't know how to link to LJ accounts via username, either) provided an example and instructions, this still isn't working. Go to her comment on the previous post for a link that actually works.
O, never mind, this one works when it's actually posted. My mistake.
Now that I have had seven years to bring myself up to date on some intellectual conversations about the human condition and have figured out what my own takes on the problems are, I plan to start the seminar afresh, since none of the readers who have attended from the beginning seem to have figured out where on earth all this is going no matter how often I explain it. Which is why I have rarely taught seminars, especially the interdisciplinary kind where the students help the professor figure out what the seminar is actually about beyond a few vague intuitions and a reading list. (I once took one of those in which the professor decided that his whole hypothesis was nonsense. Imagine our dismay.)
Once I finish reading Designs for an Anthropology of the Contemporary and Architecture at the Edge of Everythig Else, I intend to explain what my interest in their edgy (pun intended) investigations of two academic disciplines has to do with my interest in cultures on the margins of the mainstream and in the human nature—and physical/natural environs—that underpin humanity's cultures and economies and structures of political power.
But obviously I need to do it someplace not contaminated by 1500 pages of prior maunderings, which I have been paging through recently and seeing how many dead ends are hit along the way.
