jeanne...there are so many things that I feel like writing about and was looking back through some of my favorite (I bookmark them) days from last semester...and at this location dpjcs01.htm....there is a very interesting drawing you put up about terrorism, truth, forgiveness and schizophrenic identites...if you have time take a look, very telling and foresightful (a work???)

You're right, Lisa. I did go back to look at it. I suspect it will become a painting by mid-December. The hand in the upper right hand corner has taken on a very different appearance since September 11, hasn't it? We have learned so much.

love and peace, jeanne

YO! GUYS! The semester isn't over. I am not giving you grades for the semester. I am telling you what my concerns are, and what I do and don't know about your learning. If you aren't up here it's because I don't know how you're doing. Your problem! Talk to me!

What do you talk about after you say "hello?" Try telling me what three concepts have helped your understanding the most for each of your classes with me. That's a good approach that will illustrate your understanding of conceptual linking. Remember I'm looking for how you've processed specific information, not, "Yeah, I read Marx."

I'M DETERMINED!

We are in the program for the ACJS Spring Presentations. Those of you who wish to participate (Wesley, this includes you! Michael, this includes you!) you must sign up for participation and go through our Moot Court training. I won't be on campus in the Spring, but I will be doing the training sessions. And I will be with you at the Conference. jeanne

Discussing Theory:

• Social Theory Concepts:

  

  • Life goes on . . . . understanding war:

    • In Kabul, Happiness for Sale New York Times. Saturday, November 24, 2001. Photo by Emmanuel Dunand/Agence France-Presse.

      I'm having trouble understanding war again. I've been so worried about our starving people. But they're selling! balloons!!! I know this has to be more rational than it appears to me. I know somehow this must make sense. How very corporate - to commodify happiness! We'll talk about this. jeanne. November 24, 2001.

    • THE LAW: No TV, No Chess, No Kites: Taliban Penal Code, From A to Z By Amy Waldman. The New York Times. November 22, 2001 backup

  • adversarialism:

    • Sacrificial Self-Destructiveness Teaching essay with discussion topics on the issue of suicide terrorism in the current Middle East situation.

  • genocide:

    • Genocide of the War Criminals - But Are They All in Afghanistan? By Anthony McIntyre. 16/09/2001.

  • metaphors for society:

    • Comments on Rigney's metaphors for society Journal entry by Julie Kim. Well explained.

    • Normative Expectations and Knowingness Journal entries by Julie Kim and Brenda Narvaez.

  • awareness of the Other:

    • Bull Sessions: Where Did They Go? Journal entries by Kasie Boone and Ricky Jones. At first glance they appear to be fussing at me. But that isn't really what they're doing. Both of them are reporting concepts they've learned in class and confusion that's disturbing them. It took me the better part of November to figure out what it was they were saying.

• Theorists:

  • Jonathan Turner, Michel Foucault, Jurgen Habermas, Donna Haraway, and Cornel West:

    • a comment about Jonathan Turner and ideology by Thomas Conroy. Good historical overview.

  • Slovaj Zizek:

    • subjectivity, multiculturalism, sex and unfreedom after 11 September Interview with Slavoj Zizek.
    • Zizek on Ayn Rand Because someone asked me about Ayn Rand recently.
    • The Folly of the Intellectuals Comments on Zizek, Chomsky, Said, and Fish by Peter Murphy.
