I was taken aback by the ease with which Stuart Hall and bell hooks conversed. It's as though we were listening to a really long and deep friendship unfold in the intimacy of their conversation. In the field of rhetoric, I have read my fair share of Greek dialogues but this was a million times better. I couldn't help but make that connection. So I have to ask, how does the conversation differ from the formal dialogue? In what ways is this conversation doing work that may actually be timeless? How is this conversation important for our generation and future generations? In a sentence, how would surmise the lessons we learn from their conversation?

On Journals and Prose

My two questions from this week have emerged from the Judith Butler piece, A 'Bad Writer' Bites Back , both centered around the journal, Philosophy and Literature —which Butler describes as the self-proclaimed “arbiter of good prose.” I agree with Butler’s staunch defense of questioning common sense and provoking “new ways of looking at a familiar world”, and was reminded of David Harvey’s quote in the introduction to his Companion to Marx’s Capital : “Real learning always entails a struggle to understand the unknown.” Butler describes Philosophy and Literature as a “culturally conservative academic journal” which naturally led me down a longer-than-anticipated visit to the journal's website . I was greeted with a video presented by the Philosophy and Literature’s editor Garry L. Hagberg, who rails against the “jargon infested” work that litters the journal’s field, locating Philosophy and Literature in clear opposition to such bothersome clutter. However, Hagberg...
