Applying Zizek to Faulkner is completely blowing my mind. His theories on ideology just seem to fit so well! I'm absolutely amazed that no one else has done this. I am definitely going to submit this paper for publication in a graduate student journal after I develop it a bit more beyond the scope of this seminar assignment.
...and the more I think about it, the more I realize that the other works that I've read by Faulkner follow a similar pattern when it comes to exposing the demons of the American South. If I do choose to devote my graduate research to Faulkner instead of to mixed-media narratives, I can certainly smell the beginnings of a dissertation or at least a master's thesis.
Nerd is the werd.
(But unfortunately, my other final seminar paper on Kant is about as flaccid as a 90 year-old man's penis after its been run over by an eighteen-wheeler)
