C...Nevertheless, most Progressives remain unmugged. Consider the vast population of university faculty members and diversity officers babbling from the upper floors of Ivory Safe Spaces. To wit, Heather Davis, faculty member with the New School and author of "Art in the Anthropocene: Encounters Among Aesthetics, Politics, Environments, and Epistemologies" (Amazon rank #334,453 in Books), has just kicked off a truly exciting course entitled...<br /><br />Queer Ecologies (LCST 3875)<br />"This course will address the interdisciplinary constellation of practices that aim, in different ways, to disrupt prevailing heterosexist discursive and institutional articulations of sexuality and nature, and also to reimagine [sic] evolutionary processes, ecological interactions, and environmental politics in light of queer theory." <br /><br />With all due respect to Mz Mugged, filth, frottage, and masturbation on the MTA are among the least of our problems (although, to Citizen de Blasio's eternal credit, manspreading has been aggressively addressed), as the vast, vast majority of people in this country have never ridden the MTA, nor will ever (desire to) do so. <br /><br />And people wonder why the Chinese are kicking our butts in engineering? Do we spend too much time on queer theories? Seems obvious, or so my experiential knowings and epistemological articulations suggest.trigger warningnoreply@blogger.com
