A blog inspired by the topic of my dissertation: “Messianic Light: Utopian Discourse in the Work of Theodor W. Adorno, Luce Irigaray, and Giorgio Agamben.” The proposal is online here.
The purpose of the blog was originally twofold: (1) to learn blogging by doing (and presumably making mistakes), before needing to know it for work; (2) to work out some of my thoughts about utopia, utopian discourse, and related matters, more or less in the manner of thinking out loud. In other words, it began as an experiment, and has hung around, a bit like the cat who lives in our garage. (The work blog has been up and running as Wimminwise, the blog of the Women’s Center at LPTS for some time.)
Primary author HAT (shown here hard at work perusing a map that includes Utopia), is a fairly typical Hoosier, 50-ish, mom, Bible reading, Presbyterian Sunday School teaching and choir singing, small fuel efficient car driving, Critical Theory appreciating, still pretty much 2nd wave feminist, generally out lesbian, currently partially employed humanities doctoral doctor and student.
Here are a few daft stats about this blog.

Just an FYI. I’m starting to post about once a week summaries of Agamben’s books (and maybe a few essays) over at my spot: http://joshuajkurz.wordpress.com

I have a quick question: Why do you dislike Plato?
