Look,
is someone else going to work out a genes/jeans pun, or do I have to do it myself.
I think it's your turn
Have a go, let's see how it works out.
...
I love that he was born 100 years old and stayed that way his entire life.
He gained a 'd' somewhere along the line.
That's as much as any of us can hope for.
:D
Follwoing this sales of reggae reggae sauce are bound to increase
erm
I'm terribly embarrassed to admit this.
But I thought he was already dead. for years like
You might be thinking of Abraham Lincoln.
or Napoleon
maybe.
Or Levi Strauss
too soon.
What the fuck is up with his photo?
It's like the ones on Geoffrey Boycott's wiki page.
do angels`wear 501s?
Well this has effected me greatly
I reading the article about him on wikipedia the day before he died and now I assume that I have some great power... it comes with great responsibility
Whatever you do, don't look at Geoffrey Boycott's page to laugh at the pictures.
I'm a cultural theorist
but we also learned about him. I have to admit I imagined he was already dead.
most exciting sociology related death: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Althusser#1980s
dear god
I used to understand all that stuff five years ago. My brain is shrinking.
Good work
Althusser's later life is a sociological wonder.
Other shouts in sociology related deaths are Walter Benjamin (Most Heartbreaking) and Michel Foucault (Most Inventive... if the rumours about giving himself AIDS deliberately as a social experiment are to be believed).
Sociologist's death awards - the socio-y?
roland barthes' death is surely the best?
I thought he died...
...rather naturally but a quick glance on wikipedia tells me quite otherwise! Good shout.
Barthes = great.
agghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
the only thing I remember from my a-level media studies is the concept of 'interpellation' and a working definition of 'ideology'.
oh, and how to use vladimir propp's narrative structures to dissect several mainstream hollywood films.
Cultural studies was truly mind-numbing.
possible not at degree though
The basis of our degree
:(
our dept was built in his image
but Mark Hobart used every lecture to rubbish structuralism
Was he a jealous potter?
:D
but he 'lay laughing' in Indonesia
Sarky and I studied at the most left field department possible
But still, respect
Goldsmiths? I'm there now
i feel like i need a refresher course,
i can't remember a thing!
the only thing i remember is donna haraway :(
