Week After Spring Break (lost count!)

 Phew ok, now that I’m done having an existential crisis about identity (or, really, as Hall talks about, identification) and its “increasingly fragmented and fractured; never singular but multiply constructed across different intersecting and antagonistic discourses, practices and positions” (4). Basically, the foundation being in constant articulation. ((Is this what Whitman meant by containing multitudes??)). I wonder what it would look like for a subject not to invest in a position (6); could you invest in some but not others? Are we aware of this investment? Or just consenting? I’m just interested in unpacking how something so fragile - an identification that constantly needs to be worked on and upheld through various (re) articulations - can be so hard to destroy. And by destroy here I mean dislodging identification/identities that hail/invest logic’s of oppression like, say, that of nation. Or, as Julien and Mercer propose, can we take up the deconstructive project (453)?
