And Now For Something Completely Different

Right – I'm a bigot – but for the Left.

In Which I Explain a Few Things

with 5 comments

The immensely clever title is borrowed from Monty Python’s Flying Circus, who in turn borrowed it from a then popular BBC seg-way. The allusion I aim to make is to that absurd switch-a-roo that truth and life plays on us again and again as we heed it closer and closer. The caption is lifted from one of my favorite Woody Allen films, “Annie Hall.”

My interests: psychoanalysis; literature and film, Buddhist philosophy (madhyamika) and practice (prajna paramita); emancipatory living; and Marxian analyses of economics, ideology and religion. I would like to apply what I learn to in volunteer-organizing, psychoanalytic practice, or teaching.

My blog email address is derived from the back-translation from Chinese my friend, Jon, gave me. You see, every now and again I suspect that some Chinese students get a topic to research that they plug into google that takes them to my blog. They translate it with something like Alta Vista’s Babel Fish, the link to which is provided in my blog-stats. The title of the blog translates as, literally, “And Now For, Completely Not Same.” So, here you go: completelynotsame-at-gmail-dot-com.

  5. Severely off-topic, but I was wondering if you’d be interested in a project I’m aiming at a number of the blog authors in the continental philosophy blogosphere. Specifically, I’m interested in developing a mailing list that would act as a “back channel” for discussion across a range of minds, the virtue of which is on-going, long-form discussion that bridges the gap between blog comments sections and email. If this interests you, let me know at what[dot]is[dot]ground[at]gmail[dot]com.
