• Comments on the necrosocial

  
  I cite — Authority: 472
  I was re-reading The Necrosocial , an essay or polemic written in connection with the UC strike and occupation last week. I want to think about two aspects of the essay, not quite as a critique but more in an effort to push my own thinking. These two aspects involve shifting the terms from social death to death of ...

• Dave Noons Not a Historian, But He Did Get Linked by Andrew Sullivan Last Night

  P U L S E — Authority: 590
