News really ought to be about forcing one to confront what one does not know. the trouble is that we have, in our myths of a global village lost sight of what we do not know (we are all the same don/t you know). The trouble is we have then used that blindness to warp the new back into what we always wanted it to be - about us. We are after all the most important of things - aren't we?

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)...
