As Walter Benjamin has pointed out in his seminal text The Work of Art in the age of Mechanical Reproduction, sexual irredentism creates insurgencies of difference which rhizome off the Kleinian Bad Breast phantasies explored in contemporary British comedy, particularly as exemplified by Benny Hill and The Two Ronnies. This presents both a problem and an opportunity for interdisciplinary dialogue within the field of contemporary post-modern sociomorphic philosophy of the body. And yet, surprisingly, a large area of research has yet to be undertaken in the psychic area designated by Bion and the object-relations theorists as The Grid (although the metadesignation of the concept changed with the development of his thought; compare Bion I-XV with BionXVI-XXIV) , which might be roughly delineated as the gap between the Lacanian Mirror and the triumph of the vagina dentata as an unacknowledged subtext within the Weltanschauung of the British male comedian.
(NB: it helps that I am listening to Stratovarius as I write this.)

I'm actually going to complete one this morning, only it's of the legal kind and thus doesn't have any neat grad schooly catchphrases in it. 35 pp, 150 or so footnotes. Feels pretty good.

I am feeling less good about my paper due for completion today, a mess of unrelated jargon (sadly not including the phrase "sexual irredentism") and incomplete thoughts. But hey I'm a continental philosophy bro, that's what we do.
