don't drink, pig!
Post-althusser, a night out with gesamtausgabe-boy and romanian 'sex workers of the world unite' girl. Very civilized, unlike the weekend. We compared past awards (no George crosses): mine, top twenty sociology 'a' level dissertation ('self-confidence between the sexes in education'), a crossword competition (£10!) and my PhD scholarship (liable to be retracted at any moment). Gesamtausgabe-boy had just received £100 for being top in computer science in his year, and Romanian girl is currently living off Soros's generosity (even if he almost destroyed our economy! only joking...please don't send me comments about this).
Amongst other discussions today: what is the relationship between humanism and subjectivity as understood in the French reception of Marx? Who is this subject anyway - groups, the masses, the party, man...? What does Soviet humanism of 1936 have in common with the post-Hegelian humanism of Feuerbach and other left Hegelians? Is Garaudy still alive and is he still an Allah-botherer?
Plus, why no one wanted to live in caves any more.
The question of the week has in general been: if forced, sex with monkey or robot? (care of Zizek, care of one of his students, probably). Men invariably say robot; women monkey. But why?
