This week in Biopolitics we have been looking at the concept of the Multitude, as well as an associated concept - Netwar.

Well, have the outline finished for this courses one and only essay. Though I have a feeling that after a little more reading and research the spirit and direction of my essay will change somewhat.

I am quite aware that many of the concepts in this outline aren’t explained, and that it’s written a little flippantly. It is just an outline however, so I hopefully this is adequate to show how I’m thinking.

You are by no means compelled to read the (adobe pdf) Outline, though if you do you must comment!

Existential Phenomenology.

I have just received back my first Philosophy essay of the semester. The aim was a short (2000 word) summary and explication of Heideggerian existentialism. It is explicitly only a look at part of his philosophy, that of our existence with other people (being-with), though it touches on our relation to the world (being-in-the-world). The essay is available as an Adobe pdf version of the essay for those of you who want to read/crit. it. (remember to leave a comment )

A few instances of Heidgerian lingo are not explained. The structure could also be tightened up a bit. Given the time restraints however, all is good.

Time to work on an essay outline. Hopefully with the help of my fantastic personal feminism library.

It seems I will be looking at a question concerning Laura Mulvey’s “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema”.

“Why is masquerade seen as a useful theme for understanding art concerned with identity?”
