I am doing a course on Foucault in university, and this is such a wonderful supplement to my readings! Thank you for this great episode :) I look forward to your further episodes!

Paris Hilton is a Legend, "in my book", and "Stars are blind" is a beautiful artifact, very much in the early Boy George sensibility. on-or-off topic

I love Solanas, Warhol's greatest piece of Art - I'd argue, while I would not watch the Oliver Stone movie, not to screw up my own mystique. So misunderstood, how humorous and performative her anger truly was, or could have been; in a better world. Anyway.... Idea: Andre Gide" Corydon" Also, too underrated. My 2 cents for a cute topic. Great stuff, anyhow! Keep it up!

I cant believe this channel doesn’t have more traffic. Checked this out because one of my diss chapters discusses purity as a mimetic object, and Kristeva’s ideas seem like a worthwhile framework to consider. Definitely going to check out older videos though.

A good topic. BAD hosts.

My favorite detail about ole Val is that she stayed in regular contact with Warhol after prison and he actually remained friends with her. Also when Warhol accused her of being a cop she dropped her pants and showed off her privates saying "sure I'm a cop here's my badge."

Valerie Solanas was EXACTLY right about men. Feminists should build a shrine to her.

Thanks

1:02:40 muscle memory indeed. BTW DuBois would not have said 'under God' in the pledge at that time

Andrzej zulawski is another good example of satirical but serious comedy/philosophical drama writing

I'm a guy and I love solanas because I relate to her as an outsider Even though I don't agree with all of her points (ofcourse) Also I think she is very much aware of the comedic elements in her work and thus is my favourite kind of comedy where you push the "intellectual" limit of an idea to its farthest length and its so over the top but its self aware and serious at the same time Its also satirizing the texts in the lane of electra complex which are just so crazy but "intellectual" men took these ideas seriously At the end that's just my interpretation of it valerie may have genuinely believed and strived for all of this and might have hated me but I think the more important thing is to acknowledge her humanity beneath it all which is funny because she sort of didn't acknowledge men's humanity (another ironic point I would like to think is on purpose though I know its not) I haven't seen the full video so idk if y'all discuss this but I recommend watching the movie with lily taylor directed by the director of american psycho its available on youtube for free

This channel is great - fills a much needed gap

this is sosososooo good and informational!! thank you sooo much for your efforts!! <33333

great job

I’m so late to the game. I love your podcast! I co-host The Always Already Podcast (we’ve been on hiatus) and I teach. So this is right up my alley. Anyway, do y’all have another forum like…include question/answer on the pod? I teach Sedgwick every semester-the selection varies-and I share your frustrations about Epistemology of the Closer, and wondered if you were open to a discussion. In any event, I hope you are both well!

subscribing! love this stuff

Nooo wayyyy you're back!!

Thank you for helping me through this piece, as I was never going to read it myself… hoping there’s some feminist theory from Judith in this series, I will explore! I was fine with most of your explanations until you started talking about the world wide webs influence in the 80s. The http started in 1990. The DARPANET network started in the late 60s a decentralised series of servers that could survive nuclear attack. And yes some universities were on it in the 80s, but it was not what you perceive. There were no images or sounds or even colour! It was ftp, gopher, message boards at most. Computer networks. Not the internet. Would have influenced them. But even then, most computer networks were hierarchical, with dummy terminals running off a single server. The terminals never spoke to eachother. Cyberpunk, William gibsons idea of virtual reality is when the idea of a digital space you could go where there would be even more than there is in the world - became part of the psyche around 1981. Some things that Philip k dick and other authors had theorised; an immense library accessible instantly from anywhere - hinted at this idea that is now the internet. But it really wasn’t in the conscious mind until the nineties. Yes universities had access to this network, but there were no images on it, there wasn’t even much you could do on it. Also you ignore modern environmentalism as a major influence - the fact that in nature everything is connected, everything is communicating with everything else and effects each other, something that in the 70s they were starting to realise. By the 80s environmentalism had taken hold. (Think of bands like midnight oil) The cup is not overflowing, there are finite resources on this planet, and if you don’t put back in, you break the cycle. See Buckminster Fuller. This Spaceship Earth. This would be a far better analogy for the complex always moving, always changing, everything connected system they speak of. But I am not an academic, I’m dabbling. You know far more than me, I just wanted to provide historical context where I do actually have knowledge from being around a while.

Love the description (p.37) that physical or biological descriptors of race having been slung out “ sidle around the edge of the Veranda and climb back in through the pantry window!”

Wish I could be a native english speaker to really enjoy this podcast. I'm really happy to find this!

I really really loved this, you guys are super interesting! I just googled a video about suntag's camp because I just finished reading it! What an awesome surprise I just got!

Looking great (:
