Displaced Subjectivity

Yellow LedbetterI'm teaching three courses which are relatively new to me this semester so it's been crazy finding time to post my usual interest in culture, life, etc. I have been writing short summaries of my Return of Religion in the West course which I find interesting. It's odd because although in the past I have read and written to varying degrees about the philosophers and social theorists covered in this course, teaching them continues to bring out new themes and interests for me. Although I have fundamental disagreements with all of them to one degree or another, the teaching experience has turned out to be something akin to method acting. I find myself getting into the logic and framework of their ideas, getting into their heads as it were. In any case, alongside this attempt to displace my own subjectivity, I find my playlist gravitating towards memories of listening to Pearl Jam on The End 107.7.
