Comments on: … is terror? http://whatinthehell.blogsome.com/2005/09/21/is-terror/ A working notebook Tue, 15 Dec 2009 13:17:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: Nate http://whatinthehell.blogsome.com/2005/09/21/is-terror/#comment-19 Tue, 27 Sep 2005 12:06:23 +0100 http://whatinthehell.blogsome.com/2005/09/21/is-terror/#comment-19 Thanks Glen. I've read both of them, but ages ago and I don't really remember the stuff on terror (or much of them at all, to be honest). Unfortunately it will be a little while before I'm able to get to either. If you have time and don't mind, could you sketch a summary of the points on terror? (Here, or we could take the party over to yours if you prefer.) This reminds me, if my friends Colin and Tzuchien don't mind I'd like to post their papers related to the topic here... I'll have to get on that. Thanks Glen.

What number is it anyway? I'm quite keen on anything sour - whiskey, brandy, amaretto - as well as on vodka collinses. I'm a bit put off by whiskey at the moment, though, having spent all day yesterday sick from overconsumption on friday (and I think I wrote a rather embarrassing email to Setve, because for some reason it always seems like I end up checking my email when I get really fucked up. I haven't had the heart to actually check my sent mail yet to read it.). I also noticed something on your blog mentioning Joan of Arc. They're from my city, Chicago (though, sadly, I don't live there anymore as of this past August 1st...). Anothe rof those cross global intersections. I like them a lot too. One of the Wu Mings said in an interview once that pop culture is a pre-condition for communism. I quite liked that, it means we can be internationalists without having to be boring and listen to acoustic guitars all the time. take care, Nate hey Az,

And you drink whiskey sours! They are Ange's and my faviourite luxury tipple, complicated by the fact that no-one in Melbourne seems to know how to make them! I like these odd cross-global intersections of taste and politics. Hey Nate, no wisdom on what terror is but I just wanted to say, ta for yr birthday wishes. And you drink whiskey sours!

I'll look at your summary, and see if I can find that book. I hope things work out for your blog. Some tech savvy type needs to devise a way to quickly and painlessly back up the contents of a blog, as there's much material on some of them that it would be a terrible shame to lose. take care, Nate Thanks Jon.

I do hope Blogger hasn't lost everything... Some time ago I posted a very brief summary of the opening of Castaneda's <i>Utopia Unarmed</i>. Though the book's politics are problematic--better, absent--it's one of the best places to start in terms of thinking about violence in Latin America.
