Intensive

This week we finish our discussion of King, begin a discussion of Foucault, continue to a discussion of Angela Davis, and then move on to discuss Nietzsche. As if that weren't enough, Wednesday introduces propositional analysis (and enthymemes, formal and informal fallacies), Thursday digs deeper into figures, tropes, and schemes. You'd think I would be a bit daunted, but honestly we're covering so much so quickly I don't really have time to worry about getting behind or making mistakes, it's just three hours of theoretical ideas and critical tools firehosed relentlessly at them day after day after day till we're done for the weekend. Exhausting tho' it can be, my favorite part is just how useful and provocative all this stuff is. One really feels oneself making a difference, providing practical reading and writing tools, stunning people with abolitionist and Nietzschean provocations.
