I suspect it really should become as no surprise that the minor royalty and Celeb culture are synonmous. Thinking abut it I had the lines of influence the wrong way around. it is not (in spite of what the self serving media might claim (the minor) royals who ape the Celebs, but the celbs who were always aping the royals. Problem is it does into make it any less more acceptable. Problem is that is does not make one ay the less sick of royality and celebrity - until I for one start to dream of that sharp toothed female once again....

About Me
- Ranting Blog
- The aim is these blogs is to give a practical series of examples and off the cuff pieces of analysis which fit in to a far larger scale project of making Philosophy Political. Why does this matter? Because as Foucault says, one of them oddities of thinking is the extra silent thoughts one thinks without knowing it - call them assumptions or prejudicesor what you like. My aim in the pieces here, but also on the website, is then to reweave these assumptions, or at least aim to show how they might be unpicked. Hence the importance of the dictionary which is by far the most important entry here, and really deserves a blog of its own (it is called noted on media language)...
