A blog mostly about the topic of my [still under construction] dissertation: “Utopian Discourse in Three Late-20th Century Philosophers: Theodor W. Adorno, Luce Irigaray, and Giorgio Agamben.” A current version of the proposal for this dissertation is 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 matter 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 humanities doctoral student.
