Some chinless retard broad reads AA's snooty senior thesis from UC
The Telephone Book focuses on three themes: technology, schizophrenia and electric speech. The book begins with a sustained examination of Heidegger's involvement with the Nazi Party and proceeds through a history of the telephone in light of Heidegger's "call to being." Ronell demonstrates the complexity of "the call" and its presence throughout contemporary culture including technology, psychology and art. In The Telephone Book, Ronell rejects the authoritarian position of the author and instead refers to herself as the "operator" of the text.
Crack Wars likens addiction to literature to drug addiction. Ronell avers that the work is a political gesture against the hysteria of the "racist" war on drugs. Beginning with an extensive survey of philosophical works on intoxication, including writings by Nietzsche, Baudelaire and Benjamin, Crack Wars then examines Heidegger's descriptions of want, wishing and "being towards".
From this bio.
Uh, LOL!

She does do my Senior Thesis almost exactly as it was meant to do. But not quite enough Lyo-tard, a little too much Derriere-da, and distressingly skimpy on the pendulumless Fouck-aul. She needs a punishing discipline to the architectural order of her thingies.
Hey, Tecumseh. Which day this weekend?
I'll get back to you on Friday. Your brain-fryer still works?
By the way, watch up for the Al Gore blizzard.
Al Gore Blizzard gave me a free day. He is truly a Great Man.
