Teaching

Prepping for the upcoming week in which I will devote fifteen hours of lecturing on either side of the Bay to Nietzsche's Ecce Homo, Marx's German Ideology and the fetishism of commodities, Benjamin's "Mechanical Reproducibility," Adorno and Horkheimer's "Culture Industry," Debord's Society of the Spectacle, Carpenter's film They Live, and Klein's No Logo, among other things. All great texts, but it's an exhausting slog -- four weeks remain of one intensive, five of another. I'm already feeling stretched thin and it's not even the halfway point.
