Serres uses no footnotes or bibliography. Perhaps this is the most evolved form?DublinSoilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746847572672641393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839922450198375320.post-23666531037747562932012-04-25T09:14:04.056-05:002012-04-25T09:14:04.056-05:00The marinade analogy is a very flavoursome one, Li...The marinade analogy is a very flavoursome one, Liam. It always fascinates me, worries me, makes me wryly amused -- depending on my moood -- that after I have taken copious notes on many texts, highlighted them and formatted them in all sorts of ways, I then just sit down and write the damn thing, and rarely feel a strong urge to go back and check that I have used all the potential ingredients, as it were. Is this a strength or a weakness as a writer, inspiration (perspiration of the marinade perhaps...) or slovenly laziness? I don't know.woodworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14465358061763294743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839922450198375320.post-9129852962247456702012-04-11T08:21:59.086-05:002012-04-11T08:21:59.086-05:00I'd be interested to hear both how Morton woul...I'd be interested to hear both how Morton would see this characterization, and how many others read a sort of pantheism or animism in his work. Certainly a big appeal for me in the work is that he does not shy away from the "dark" side of all of this. His willingness to peep behind the curtain certainly sets him apart from more sentimental environmental accounts. And this strikes me as very necessary.DublinSoilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746847572672641393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839922450198375320.post-40030294977636055912012-04-11T02:58:32.384-05:002012-04-11T02:58:32.384-05:00Nice.

Personally I read the work as religious and in a very contemporary new materialist sense, which I guess makes sense given that religion has always been interdisciplinary despite modern attempts to shake it into specific categories. <br /><br />Thinking has always been multi and the academy always reluctant to embrace this due, no doubt to its elite status and dependence upon categories, interdisciplinary the latest of these.<br /><br />Nice postkarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363734778216956960noreply@blogger.com
