  Dead Voles — Authority: 418
  As I’ve said recently I quite agree with Duncan that “if intellectuals want to be politically useful in some way, as intellectuals, some of the more useful things they can do are 1) provide an adequate analysis of current social, economic and political conditions; 2) start generating concrete proposals for ...

• ANT/Gramsci, pt. 6: Networks, nodes, relations, alliances

  
  Dead Voles — Authority: 418
  Because of the way the blog medium arose out of the interactive affordances of the internet, each blog, post and comment creates a node in a possible network of relations and alliances. Or they can just sit there doing nothing but taking up space. Whether networks actually come of blogs depends to some degree on ...

• ANT/Gramsci, pt. 5: Emergency!

  
  Dead Voles — Authority: 418
  I mentioned in pt. 3 that Gramsci’s goal of a homogeneous collective revolutionary consciousness might itself be what he called an ‘Enlightenment’ error. And in pt. 4 I poked some fun at the distinctive wigglings of Left intellectuals hoist on this petard. The problem is a fundamentally doomed and therefore ...

• Bourdieu & Gramsci

  
  The Mustard Seed — Authority: 123
  Antonio Gramsci: A short excerpt from a post from my blog The Excerpt Mill : In Bourdieu’s early work with Jean-Claude Passeron, we find the term “the cultural arbitrary” used in a way which seems quite similar to Gramsci’s concept of normative grammar: “In any given social formation the cultural ...

• ANT/Gramsci, pt. 3

  
  Dead Voles — Authority: 418
  I need something or two short, pithy and on-point to frame my talk, perhaps even to pass out to participants. To both validate and complicate the idea that the blog medium can participate in the assembly of networks of Gramscian praxis, consider this from the Prison Notebooks , Q 24 (also in Selections from Cultural ...

  Dead Voles — Authority: 418
  This is the actual title and proposal as submitted to RM. ANT and Blogging as Gramscian Praxis Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks were not written for public consumption.

• The left intellectuals and the God trick

  
  Dead Voles — Authority: 418
  I’ve had bits of a thought on some recent blog exchanges on intellectual activism and the role of the left intellectual stuck in my throat for the last little while, and since I’m now right up against my deadline for the Rethinking Marxism talk I have to prepare I’m just going to hack them up in a little pile. ...

  Brave New Wave - Children of a Lesser Revolution — Authority: 437
  Today in class I found myself really frustrated and perturbed that even in graduate school I was back in a classroom yet again hearing about the Europeans — their theories, societies, accomplishments and ideas about the rest of the world.

• Getting physical: how to be safe in a dangerous world

  
  Going against the current — Authority: 125
  As usual I was in a hurry. Holding a copy of Time magazine with my left hand, a gray duffel bag on my right shoulder, my right hand inside my pocket, I pressed myself inside a crowded elevator going down. Mirrors surrounded us, so it gave me an opportunity to look at people’s expressions without [...]
