Writing

These are experiments in reasoning. Some were done as university projects, others 'cause I wanted to. More to come as I get pissed about stuff.

Cyborg-Politics: a respons to Donna Haraway's "A Manifesto for Cyborgs", this details my take on her idea of the so called "freedom" of the cyborg individual. She would rather be a cyborg than a goddess, but I came to a different conclusion. This details a lot of my frustration with feminist writings, and some requisite bitching about marginalization and people forcing an ideal on others.
Tutrtle Power: as an assignment we were to pick something--a book, movie, song whatever--and apply a critical theory that we had studied. I chose to apply Marxism (because that's always and easy what to mark something to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. Halarity ensues.
Battle Royal-Who Pwned PoMo?: I wished to compare Neuromancer and Snow Crash as post modern cyber punk novels and see who would win. Some mud, greace and a dirty wrestling ring later we have our winner.
The Feminen Dragon: an annalisys of Anne McCaffrey's Dragonflight (and other novels in the Dragon Riders of Pern series) from a very feminist point of view--the assignment was to prove the work as "valuable". Try that out in a fourth year english seminar...

I don't concider myself a poet, but sometimes poetry comes anyway.

Winter Part Two: A literary reinactment of James Thomson's The Seasons from a Maritimer's point of view.
Oranges: 1 wrote this at 2am after watching Apocalypse Now Redoux in a really old, cool little theatre called "The Vogue". Interpret as you will.
