I used to make lists for every term of the year as a point of focus for my activities. While I tend to fail miserably at achieving those goals, I felt that the list provided some clarity for my directions. Having noticed a few people around me making lists for their summer projects, I’ll throw my own up here. I guess time starts about last week and will run through September.
Writing
- Finish up the 5000 word excerpt of my thesis for my annual review.
- A conference paper on Deleuze’s Logic of Sense as it relates to theological hermeneutics (which overlaps a bit with the previous item)
- A review of Adam Kotsko’s Zizek and Theology
- An additional 15k-ish words of my thesis working on ontology and metaphysics and their relationship to hermeneutics and symbolism
Reading
- Badiou’s Being and Event
- Badiou’s Logics of Worlds
- Zizek’s Parallax View
- Milbank and Zizek’s Monstrosity of Christ
- Levi Bryant’s Difference and Givenness
- Graham Harman’s Prince of Networks
Errata
- Update a few PHP scripts that I’ve been meaning to do for nearly a year
- Step down from my PHP scripting roles as I don’t have the time anymore (sorry guys!)
- Spend a month inundating myself with every tourist spot in Great Britain (and many in Ireland)
- ConnectDeleuze conference in Cologne
- “Brush up” on my French and German
- Added late: switch server hosting to a simpler plan
