I didn't realize who you w...Professor Morton, <br /><br />I didn't realize who you were when I read your post on "The Darkening Edges of Objects," but I have since rectified this situation. I'm vaguely ashamed to admit that I hadn't read any of your work prior to that, but I have now, and it seems to me extraordinarily urgent and relevant and insightful. I verge on the ecstatic when I read an academic wright about things and material culture in ways that reverberate in unexpected directions...<br /><br />Anyway, just wanted to say that I really like your work, and that I'm thinking about throwing out my plan for at least one of my classes next week and instead reading "Materialism Expanded and Remixed" (If that's okay with you...i.e., that I use that paper in my class...). <br /><br />All my best, and keep up the most excellent work--the world is a little bit better a place with this sort of thing in it. <br /><br />TomUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12028898917723365610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438289051411770399.post-578781812106503292011-03-15T00:37:25.095-06:002011-03-15T00:37:25.095-06:00this week I'm gonna go see that sweat stain fr...this week I'm gonna go see that sweat stain from the past... i've been allured!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09517000284816980855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438289051411770399.post-14009734271945653332011-03-14T14:51:30.635-06:002011-03-14T14:51:30.635-06:00A fantastic essay...I hadn't really considered...A fantastic essay...I hadn't really considered the ecological dimensions of these types of experiences. I have always been taken by Heidegger's notion of the "world" vs. the "earth"--the world is the good one, the one where objects reveal themselves to us in all their mystery and strangeness. The earth is everyday life. <br /><br />You've got me thinking. And I can't see the end of it, which is a lovely thing. <br /><br />All best, <br /><br />TomUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12028898917723365610noreply@blogger.com
