SAA Day 2: Research Forum

I’m posting my thoughts on day 2 a day late. It was just that much fun. I spent the day listening to the presentations at the 10th annual Research Forum. The presentations and posters were on a diverse range of topics, and I’m really just beginning to digest much of what I experienced. A few […]

Freud, Derrida and Electronic Records – Beginnings

For some reason, hubris, scholarly ambition or possibly madness, I’ve begun an extremely slow and careful reading of Archive Fever by Derrida. Often times postmodern issues, this work in particular, crop up in classes, research and impolite conversation, and I felt that it was needed to really give it a careful reading and test my […]
