"Social responsibility"

Posted on 24 April 2007 by

What’s with the headline of this article? 2 of the 3 words advised to be banned are sexist, not racist words. Yet another occasion where it’s implicitly ok to be sexist (it’s something we can all share in, regardless of … Continue reading →

Detorie or Boyer?

Yesterday I was asked to distinguish between the vispo of Michelle Detorie and that of Anne Boyer. To me, the differences are obvious, but I had not sat down and tried to put them into words. This is what I … Continue reading →

It’s official. “Flarf” has become a catch-all term for techniques LangPo was using 30 years ago, characteristics termed “postmodern” in any other art form, and critical thought, irony, and satire in general. Is it a way of reviving the anti-commercialist … Continue reading →

academia & pathology

Posted on 8 November 2006 by
