confession
katy et al have been trying to convince me to admit that i just dont think about politics/activism/theory enough to have a livejournal about it. i disagree. the problem is that i havent been really thinking things thoroughly enough to want to write about them.
so ive been thinking abt:
masks, identity, and visibility--sort of the zapatistas, but also gloria anzalduas idea of interface, and this weird amnestyish movie we saw over the summer at lpc.
nationalism, as always.
the real potential of autonomy/self-regulation/anarchy, and its limitations (specifically with regard to our co op, but more generally, too)
the ways that self-love, self-care, and such fit into activism, and when that causes activism to become simply masturbatory--what is the line; is there a line; what is effective or not and how external does something have to be to be seen as effective?
how open do you really have to be willing to be (and more specifically, how public) to have sex radicalism be an actual shaping force and central presence in yr life for real? what is the project of the insertion of sex (and "deviant" sex) into public spheres?
also ive been writing a lot of papers. i go home for break tomorrow and will be hopefully way better once i get out of here. ive been really happy and doing good things but really really really need space and need my own room and such.
i will try to actually think over break and not get caught up in everything else. although i stand by my assertion that actually engaging and spending time with people is so much more important than writing in a livejournal (assuming thats really what im doing instead. which is not always true.).
