Nice blog--sorry it's taken me so long to check it out. I love The Tennis-Court Oath--my favorite seminar paper (as far as writing experience and subject matter go--I don't know if the paper was any good) was about "America" and "Europe." Your assessment here really speaks to the ambiguity (rather than the more blunt hostility I might have expressed a few years ago) of my feelings about this project of MTV's. (Maybe my complete absence of interaction with MTV has mellowed me a little, but it seems almost as unproductive to get angry about MTV and myspace and "sellouts" and whatnot as to consume those things wholeheartedly, you know?) Are you still in Tucson? If you ever want to climb, let me know! Now that school is winding down, I plan on going a lot more. Hi BK! Nice blog–sorry it’s taken me so long to check it out.
