From: "Laughing Boy" <laughingboymm-AT-hotmail.com> Subject: test Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2002 21:46:25 -0600 Hey all, i'm just testing out the list to see if i'm a part of it yet and if i can recieve emails from everyone. i'm very new to baudrillard and his thinking. i stumbled upon him in a class this semester studying popular culture and his ideas concerning the hyperreal and especially his disneyland metaphors are great! i just ordered his simuclara and simulation and am hopefully getting america for christmas. also, downloaded about 15 articles last nite, so i'm getting ready to dig in now the semester is over. about me...i'm a 22y/o senior at the university of north dakota with an english major. considering a minor in philosophy, but it depends if i want any more school after may (and if i dont go to film school). i'm into literature, music (mostly indie stuff, but have an avid passion for rap), and computers. i've always had a problem with keeping my lit theories straight...but i've done some recent reading on postmodernism, most recently focaoult and his "what is an author". i'm also interested in reading hegel and would like a clear understanding of marx and socialism. lastly, anyone heard of francis schaeffer? i picked up a little book by him at a thrift store...it's a christian writer and his outlook on philosophy, ie nature vs human, reason and wisdom, etc. pretty neat little book. hope this list is current and all you thinkers out there are ready to share some knowledge. take it easy. clay danielson _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
