So similar you should check out Derrida's Achive Fever in which, after multiple prologues and avant propos he eventually gets to the main body of the text, and I think there isn't one.. and Michael Warner's book The Trouble With Normal.... which is just comepletely discursive, and has quotes but not the citions for them or even footnotes... only to discover at the end, comprehensive endnote in which all the quotes were replicated witht he page numbers so you know what was who and when,... briliant stuff.
Yes - I will check those out - but I think I will do it after I finish this draft. I like the formal ideas there, even though they aren't exactly topical.
On a related topic, one of the aspects of this project is to try to write something according to the submission guidelines of a journal we would like to submit the work to. But I'm also being encouraged to experiment with form. So, when I went back to look at some of the journals I was considering, they have specific rules when it comes to things like footnotes, which won't work with my project. I've decided to make form the priority in this draft (page 5 -OOOH YEEAAAH. It's slow going when you pay this much attention to form). But do you know any journals or publications that will print material that is more experimental in form?
I miss academia. Not the stress and the panic and the tired, but the cool stuff and the thinking and the excitement.
xoxoxo You can do it!
