Edward Said, 1935 - 2003

Edward Said was one of those rare academics: he managed to catalyze a new sphere of social and cultural theory: post-colonialism. In his book "Orientalism" Said deftly--though at times inaccessibly--reviews the canons of English, French and German science, social science and literature, demonstrating how Western cultures have exoticized and objectified the Orient. It is a book that has changed the world.

Said was a Christian Palestinian who left Jerusalem as a teenager to study in Cairo, then the US. He was a vociferous critic of Israel, and eventually Arafat and the PLO. I can't say I always agreed with him--but I appreciate his formidable body of work.

My 24

All in all, not a bad one.

Yesterday I got a call from someone interested in being in my study--the first for the Canuck cohort. Woo hoo! This morning I negotiated support from one of the local AIDS NGOs. Then I did an interview with The Georgia Straight: they'll publish a brief on the project next week, so hopefully more guys will contact me. At bedtime, after chatting withquerrelle( aka he who is obsessed with my last fookin rolo), I managed to get a listen to la nouvelle chanson en français par Céline. Et je l'aime....

Had lunch with Shauna P., who's just finishing chapter one of her dissertation--can I ever convey how happy I am to never have to write a dissertation? Well I am. Very, though once was overall a good experience. Once.

toneyvr wanted some tutelage in the ways of Word,so we sparred and bantered and formatted for a couple of hours. We drank copious amounts of orange pekoe. We got up each other's nose, as family do. He learned a lot, I was pleased to help. Now the laundry's in the dryer/tumbler.
