I have been thinking about how disenchanted some locations in this world are because of imagery. I think an example that Caroline used in Photo History was the Mona Lisa. Aprill, you took more in about theory in that class than I did. I was to young. I think that disenchantment is why I'm more interested in Wisconsin or South Dakota than going to France. But then at the same time there is more to New York City than Times Square.

I wasted 5 years of my life reading exclusively theory. It was fine, but I wish I hadn't.
Read more "science." Queue in particular books on evolutionary biology and social psychology.
And always remember there is no god and no morality.
well you know how i love me some jean baudrillard. i also really like simone de bevoir's theory of situated freedom...actually a good site that i used to go to all the time to get a feel of a certain philosopher or theory was www.plato.stanford.edu some are only a page long and others are a few pages long but they give a good feel of a shitload different people. i used to get lost in it.
