Hi,
thanks for the almost 100% attendance today, please keep it up and pass on what happened to anyone you know who didn't attend. There really is a rich and growing conversation to be had with this seminar I believe, in dialogue with these texts and your own interests and practices on the way to making a good final essay.
It was a shame about the fire alrm which made the Deleuze essay probably seem more difficult as I didn't get time to summarise and clarify my reading, but be asured that this is the most difficult text we will encounter.
Next week I will begin by summarising Delezue (there's only 2 main points to make really) then quickly glossing the Marcel Mauss essay. Then we can look at Kaja silverman's essay on cinema and try and see a clip form 'Psycho'. If you can prepare for that and find out a bit about Ishiguro's novel 'Never Let Me Go, and again, use the handbook to think about your essay Qs, check the booklist for prompts, re=read the quotes there or see the Otaku link that will help us all to have something to say.
I Will do a big PhotoCopying session so everyone gets all the texts (or Scan them to put on Blackboard) before the next session.
Please check this Blog again before Tuesday as I amy add some more gloss on the texts and general ideas we've covered so far.
Hang in there!
Paul O'Kane
