I’m an anthropologist, sometimes I occupy things & such.

I see anarchism as something you do not an identity...

...so don’t call me the anarchist anthropologist

makes me sad that OpenBookstore feels I’m a “national treasure” – since the US did, basically, tell me to get lost. http://t.co/LoIPuMdIGQ

I really don’t know exactly how Tronti’s value theory works, & it’s annoying because there are no real translations

so now it seems that the idea that all forms of labor are productive of value of some sort goes back to Tronti – Negri just developed it

well the nice thing about realising it really was the curry you had Friday that made you sick Saturday is realising you don’t have the flu

why do people think my BS jobs piece has anything to do with Marxist productive/unproductive labor debates? It so obviously doesn’t.

anybody out there remember the source of the Medieval story about a noble in prison who traded his fortune for an egg?

hmm, looks like I’m going to have to find a new venue for that necktie analysis after all. Any thoughts out there?

I need to find someone who sees value as not a purely human phenomenon, but not on post-structuralist grounds. Anyone read Andrew Collier?

isn’t it interesting how it has become acceptable for women to wear pretty much any element of traditionally male attire EXCEPT ties?

As it happened, I never managed to get it published, but of course it wouldn’t really have worked anyway

I foolishly thought if I published a critique of neckties in some popular venue, I would have an excuse not to wear one for job interviews.

what passes for “post humanist” value theory in social sci nowadays is almost entirely an embrace of tacit – or explicit – market principles

2 years ago today 3 Kurdish women activists were also shot dead in a Paris office building. Funny how they never got the same attention.
