Catching Up

I need to blog about so many things. Georgia, U.S. politics, the rise of neo-Nazism in Germany... the list is long and so very complex, but I also have TONS of writing for others -- for the Iowa Writing Project, the National Endowment for the Humanities, Green Theory and Praxis, and don't forget my syllabi for Fall semester! And that's just the stuff due in the next month! What about my book proposal! *sigh*

Well, one way to get at some of this might be through comics. "What?!" you say, "How does writing about comics get at the complexity of international and national politics, the timely production of knowledge, and educational planning for fifty students? Well, as an undergrad I bought into some of Joseph Campbell's Jungian analysis of myth. And comics, it seems -- especially when translated onto the big screen as Deleuze would no doubt agree -- offer us some mythic structures that guide our times. So, without further ado, let me take you to a convo over at Culture Monkey.
