Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that critique is a pointless enterprise and that criticism is dead. I'm just saying that it's a practice with a built-in bias. The trouble is not simply that it acquires cultural ascendency with the emergence of the bourgeois public sphere. [1] It's also that the presumed progressivity of criticism ("the truth will make you free") links it to a developmental narrative that has served for centuries to "race"--and I would say to "class"--the public sphere. [2] In this sense critique is only half the story, and the hegemonic half at that. Ideology as opposed to what? We need a practice that exceeds critique in creative possibility. What, I wonder, would that look like? Genealogy? Deconstruction? Uh, oh my, Hip Hop?

my thoughts on critique as an academic practice right now
[1] and [2]

Who you citin' bro?

$9000.00/year doesn't fall under the traditional definition of 'six figures'

I'm really glad we're on a different (inferior) system over here; it makes the quick witted look good and the deliberative, intelligent beings look bad.

Oh, Canada.

maybe scratching a novella.

100k words is considered the benchmark for a 'novel' form

you have to write a book-sized piece of work for your PhD doctoral thesis. finalists dissertations are like a mini-one of those.

So, Harvard Referencing

Do I have to include in text citations only when I am quoting facts? I have a lot of personal knowledge that could be backed up from another source included in the report, and information based on a presentation on Blackboard, do these need directly referencing?

It's a sport for people who play hackeysack in their spare time. You'll find tie-dyed t-shirts under the uniforms of many. I liked it anyway even though I wasn't a stoner.
lacrosse is the poor man's hockey here which is the poor man's polo

all are considered pretty 'gent'-type sports, though

Yeah but you play girls lacrosse over there

If you go to a half decent school you'll have to do a senior thesis (which is the equivalent of a "finalists", I imagine), even if you are in a "technical" subject.

She studies infrastructure engineering and is writing on light rail systems. 50 pages max, 30 pages minimum. Fuck word counts.

You'd wear padding too when it means getting whacked with a six foot long titanium pole.
