I just set out to key in a few notes I could post at EWM–say anything about
\nregistering entries less frequently in the weeks ahead, about the mid-semester curve which, now
\nrounded, reveals three seminar projects with deadlines in clear view, about new
\nideas and whatnot, about biking through the lovely
\nfall weather<\/a> we’re having in Syracuse–to a meeting at Ph.’s school, to
\ncampus for CCR732–today’s session on service learning as the latest momentous
\nshift in composition, then pedaling over to Barry Park after class so Ph.
\ndoesn’t have to walk home from soccer practice alone in the rain. <\/p>\n

To end, Judith Butler’s Excitable Speech<\/i> wins the mid-semester
\nprestige of most compelling read (and it helps that it was set up by Austin’s
\nlectures collected in How to Do Things With Words<\/i>).  It’s got me
\nthinking about a whole bunch of stuff; a cloudy project emerging from Davis’s
\narchisemiotics and performative architecture(s) is now jockeying with my other
\nhalf-plan–a stir-pot of Barthes, Saper with a yet-to-be IDed ingredient. 
\nStill something missing and a heap of reading to take up.  One other
\nproject involving weblogs, and one other project on walled classrooms and their
\nantitheses, deep cyberia.  And in the upcoming week, it’s Lakoff’s Moral
\nPolitics<\/i>, the final bit–on mapping–in Comp in Four Keys<\/i>, and
\nselections from Gamsci’s Notebooks<\/i>. <\/p>\n

Fade to air up the tires. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
