(no subject)

enrique (one half of frankrike) was saying, in an e-mail, how a gay french film was a commentary on three things, one of which was "performativity."  so i looked it up. 

ahahahahahahah, academicspeak, how you make it nearly impossible to parody you.

this one actually uses the phrase 'the interpellating call.'  this one is all about matter and how it's "not an absolute certainty", but can become intelligible!  (i think that one is my favorite.  'encourage students to open signifiers to new meanings.'  bwahahahaha.) 

this is actually a quite interesting selection of quotes from a lecture on performativity on queer theory.  (“There is no gender identity behind the expressions of gender; that identity is performatively constituted by the very ‘expressions’ that are said to be its results.”)

this is a concisish summary in english of what the others are talking about.

la la la linoleum

the remus and sirius in this veela-draco badfic act more like frankrike than like themselves.

frankrike as remus and sirius: hee hee.

i was going to walk to the store with perry as soon as i finished breakfast, but while i was eating a sandwich tea came and sat on my lap. i hate to dislodge her--she's harder to cuddle now that perry's here.
