also: Accelerationism! via Nick Land
we have to push capitalism to its full extent to truly break the ideological bonds that hold us
pretty sure this was in the back of Zizek's head when he was stumping for Trump
 
I'm pretty proud of that five minutes spent on the toilet. Hit pretty much every jargony thing I could think of. Was fun coming up with a theorist and trying to come up with the one word I remember from all their non-sense I had to read.

Fun game (in the RJ "fun game" sense) for strick and tk to see how many jargons you can recognize. PhDeac, you read any of this stuff? Or just like Durkheim and his posse? I included Turner (on whom I wrote my MA) and Bourdieu and Foucault. They seem relevant to sociology.

Thank God my anthropology degree required me to take a theory course (which was horrible, am I right, HTTD), because in grad school everyone just expected us to already know this shit.

Bourdieu is probably the most popular contemporary theorist in sociology at the moment. We claim him as one of ours. Foucault, Latour, and Butler are staples of contemporary theory courses. Some old school pragmatism (James and Dewey) makes it onto classical theory syllabi. Folks like de Beauvoir and Du Bois, too.

My wife is an anthropologist and we occasionally argue over who gets to claim Bourdieu. I feel like he's cited in everything in sociology nowadays. I just sent a paper out last week that cites him. I also feel like there are people who are really into Bourdieu and get mad if you miscite or misappropriate his work.
