A Discussion of Literary Theories and the Bullshit People Say About Them. Wednesday, October 31, 2007. Something About A Cow and Some Hay. Is he a Dr? I think I would rather call him Rufo, since that's a bad ass name.please don't be offended by that) Rufo did a great job of explaining both Marxism and Baudrillard in terms I can understand: Cows, Hay, and Money. I don't really want to rewrite everything he said because you can just read it on Dr. McGuire's blog. October 31, 2007 at 1:12 PM. I hope that Ke...

The Story: December 2007

A Discussion of Literary Theories and the Bullshit People Say About Them. Wednesday, December 5, 2007. I was told "Dr. McGuire is a Scary Feminist Bitch". I remember my freshman year at school, I was eating dinner with some friends, and one asked me "What do you want to do when you get out of college? I said, (half jokingly, half completely serious) "I want to be a mom." Her reaction blew me away. She started her rant by yelling across the table "Were you born in the 1800's?

The Story: Buddhism and Structuralism, It's All Relative
http://nickadamsstories.blogspot.com/2007/10/buddhism-and-structuralism-its-all.html
A Discussion of Literary Theories and the Bullshit People Say About Them. Wednesday, October 3, 2007. Buddhism and Structuralism, It's All Relative. I can't wait until I have to tackle Poststructuralism/Deconstructionism, Buddhism talks about decentralizing too! It's hard going, but successfully establishes the link between Buddhism and Derrida. I can be reached at http:/ executivezen.wordpress.com, where I use poststructuralism to examine the education coming out of business schools. Third year student ...

The Story: I wrote Harry Potter.
http://nickadamsstories.blogspot.com/2007/10/i-wrote-harry-potter.html
A Discussion of Literary Theories and the Bullshit People Say About Them. Wednesday, October 24, 2007. I wrote Harry Potter. Since I have not finished reading Foucault's "What is an Author? Of every voice," it means the same thing. When someone writes a book, it is not their individual unique voice going into it, that would be impossible, it is instead the reflection what they know as themselves, and what the world has created. Somehow I am trying to connect this to Lacan's. October 24, 2007 at 3:01 PM.

The Story: Okay, I didn't write Harry Potter, but I am going to write about him

A Discussion of Literary Theories and the Bullshit People Say About Them. Wednesday, November 7, 2007. Okay, I didn't write Harry Potter, but I am going to write about him. So even though I think J.K. Rowling is showing social capitalism in a negative light, I think it interesting how much money she has made from the book and other Harry Potter products. I would also like to talk about how Harry Potter has become cultural capital. "If you haven't read Harry Potter you are a LOSER! What do you guys think?

The Story: Wait, Was Derrida a Buddhist?
http://nickadamsstories.blogspot.com/2007/10/wait-was-derrida-buddhist.html
A Discussion of Literary Theories and the Bullshit People Say About Them. Tuesday, October 16, 2007. Wait, Was Derrida a Buddhist? I really enjoyed today's class, probably because for once it made sense while I was in class, instead of the usual situation of it making sense 51 hours later when I am on the E-line coming home from work. PS I am just starting to really understand Marxism now, I can't wait until its halfway through Christmas break and all of a sudden Lacan becomes crystal clear.

The Story: November 2007

A Discussion of Literary Theories and the Bullshit People Say About Them. Monday, November 12, 2007. John Fowles is not dead. I am only up to part 4 of Mantissa, but I know I want to talk about the death of the author, which comes up so often in this book that I am sure almost all my classmates will talk about the same thing. So I am sorry if this is repetitive. First, can I just say John Fowles is hilarious. He cracks me up. Second, what the hell is he talking about? What is the function of the author?
