Few threads play out without some intense political argument, and on ILM most discussions are incomplete with some pretty sophisticated analyses of a a basically political nature. But does anyone here do 'real world' politics? Not just party membership and all that cal, but you know protesting things, liberating people's minds an' that?

cf discussion of politics 'as such' here: http://www.newleftreview.net/NLR26404.shtml

This might be ILE, but I was a member of student socialists, student democrats, student libertarians and student republicans back in Michigan. (I joined them all because I was poor and they all had free food at the meetings)

"The resistance of Cultural Studies to the foreign (as that which almost by definition it cannot study) is far more worrying than any residual investment in a preference for Kultur over mass culture and for both over politics. The methodological preference of Cultural Studies will almost always be for some narrowly national archive, since the thick description that it pursues almost demands that we stick to what we think we know best."

People this affectless are not worth listening to.
