Where my theory heads at?

[max_ambiguity]

  I don't know how long our interest in returning to LJ will last, but let's get theorizing.  A crisis is always a great time for theory.  How about...top ten list of theories about viruses/quarantines/illness/contagion/etc. I'll fill out #1 for everyone, becuase it's just so obvious.

1.  Foucault, Discipline & Punish

I'll need to think about this one, I think I might have a few. Havi Carel, Illness. Jasbir Puar, Right to Maim. David Farrell Krell, Contagion. Achille Mbembe, Necropolitics.

Nice. I think there's a lot of potentially relevant theories out there. Much of disability theory, especially in light of hospital policies on how to distributed limited resources.

I would list my own theory of contagion and the autochthonous body found in ch 2 of my metic women book and my chapter in the identity and the environment volume. But I am not really a “theorist” I guess.

Well, it's good enough for me, because I'm not really an academic anymore anyway.

PS. Please make me a moderator and maintainer again.

[max_ambiguity]

Done. How did I end up the only moderator and maintainer anyway?

[kataplexis]

Because I deleted my original account.
