geographies, mobility, archiving, affect, everything i’m interested in

rgr-pop:

I love, love, love my senior seminar in geographies of public memory. I can be like, “well, I’m working through what different linear directions mean in archiving. also I have feels about things. so I am going to be like WHAT ABOUT ~the material~ as what Lisa Lowe calls “sedimented space”—except material things are not geographically-bound but are rather mobile and relational to bodies and therefore closely linked to embodiment therefore FEELS about OBJECTS and how do we map that” and my professor (who is literally the most amazing thing ever) isn’t like “shut up” but in fact validates it. I am not bullshitting, I really have feels about this theory. But as much as college is sometimes about bullshitting theory and just passing it off as Foucault, sometimes college is also about having your theory feels invalidated because so many people just abuse college bullshit privilege and professors are all numb to it and they think we’re all just jaded and we don’t really appreciate theory feels. But she validates my theory feels!

amazing. syllabus, please.
