		<title>new trajectory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	This is the archive of a blog I kept from 2005-2009. I&#8217;m not writing much online at the moment but you can see what I&#8217;m up to on my website, www.arenaizura.com.

		<title>ladies and gentlemen i&#8217;d like to introduce the high-hat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	One of the beautiful things about being post-phd is that it doesn&#8217;t matter how many times you listen to &#8220;Buffalo Stance&#8221; and dance around the house. It doesn&#8217;t matter how long you want to read about student occupations in Zagreb or New York (via @rchive). Words won&#8217;t &#8220;suffer&#8221;, they&#8217;re no longer holding you hostage. And [...]]]></description>

		<title>i&#8217;m going to survive my thesis!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I&#8217;m still alive. Truly! The last three months have been whirlwind. I finished a draft of my thesis in January. Then I took off to San Francisco for six weeks to see loved ones and friends and somewhere in there made it across to the other coast for Lavender Languages. The trip was also to [...]]]></description>

		<title>freeze-framed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	On November 21 2007 a person from the Philippines, Sally, or Salvator Kamatoy, was found dead behind a shopping mall in the United Arab Emirates. She was working as a hair dresser. No cause of death was found, but the Filipino Embassy apparently told her family that her head had been beaten in.
	Sally was one [...]]]></description>

		<title>hiatus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I&#8217;m still alive. I&#8217;m just buried in thesis writing hell. And freaking out about the future of my life/career/life after thesis/anything else I can think of to freak out about. Also procrastinating by reading US election commentary, which has become far less entertaining than it was a few weeks ago. And, oddly, working on a [...]]]></description>

		<title>anti prison blues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	In ten essays I&#8217;m marking on Aboriginal deaths in custody, not one student has questioned whether prisons should exist at all. In class we watched The Death of Malcolm Smith, which paints a dramatically horrific picture of conditions inside most Australian jails and reformatories. The essay I&#8217;m marking right now suggests that if adequate and [...]]]></description>

		<title>derridean</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Lately I have been reading The Post Card and having discussions offblog with Carol (whose book is coming out very soon now) about schisms between Foucault and Derrida, and the tendency to fold both back into a generalised &#8216;post structuralist&#8217; hermeneutic that erases difference: both the crudely empiricist reading of their methodological difference as one [...]]]></description>

		<title>6am and counting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	I have gotten into a bad writing habit where if the work I have to do is below a certain size (say 3000 words, or more of revision/rewriting) I&#8217;ll slack off until the last day I can possibly submit it. Then I write the whole thing in one 12 hour sitting. Which is how I [...]]]></description>

		<title>delivering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	Okay, here&#8217;s a teaser, from one of my more &#8216;ethnographic&#8217; chapters:
	During a process that involves considerable prolonged experience of pain, the practice of care above all demands attention to a patient’s comfort. To offer comfort, of course, is distinct from the state of being ‘comfortable’: one does not guarantee the other. Neither is comfort merely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	It&#8217;s been a long time between drinks for this blog. I am busy thesising and when I&#8217;m not doing that lately, I&#8217;m trying to write other things, for other publications. So the blog has been a little neglected. I do have some things to post about, though. I want to write a post about intervening [...]]]></description>
