a bit early, but
So I know where I'm going to go to gradschool someday. It's called the European Graduate School (EGS -- http://www.egs.edu/).
It was founded by Derrida and Baudrillard. Slavoj Zizek and Judith butler are among the current faculty. It's located in some town in Switzerland, and you basically study lit and critical theory, and postmodern media studies. Zizek teaches " Lacanian Psychoanalysis and film." They have obscure courses on Adorno and Deleuze, and other shit like:
MEDIA AND THE UNCANNY (4 credits)
Explores the philosophical concept of the uncanny as it bears on the media by reading Freud, Heidegger, and Derrida.
and
FINITUDE IN PHILOSOPHY, LITERATURE AND ART (4 credits)
Explores the finitude of language and the singularity of the ethical event in a culture of absence, disappearance, and escape in relation to memory, fiction, and the human.
I could keep listing. I am obviously meant to study there.
I wasn't necessarily planning on grad school, but I'm sold. I'm certainly not going to grad school right after undergrad, mind you. The EGS is basically a summer-(grad)school, and caters to students who are immersed in various fields in their own right during much of the year. Their faculty also teach at other universities. I'm really excited by this. It may be 5 or so years down the line, but, as it is, I'm completely set on it.
