Since we've been talking about power and politics quite a lot last time (and about power structures in the educational system), these two videos might interest you. It is always good to see 'great philosophers' in real life, as human beings. Do comment here, or else we can discuss it next time in the tutorial.
Which of the two 'great minds' would you side with?
P.S.- in case you are wondering: the bald pretentious-looking guy is (or better was) Michel Foucault, while the one that looks like a hybrid between Bill Gates and Woody Allen is Noam Chomsky (he's still alive).
FIRST PART
SECOND PART
How much time (on average) do you spend with an internet-connected computer per day?
Welcome to all the students of the Myth and Mythmaking course. We will post here thoughts, comments, suggestions, links and all sorts of materials relevant to the course. If you want to became an author, just create a Blogger account (any GoogleMail account will work), preferably with your real name as a default name and email the details to either Fabio or James. In addition to the assignment requirements, this will be your free space to post anything you want (as long as it is at least tangentially related to the main themes of the course) or ask questions and open discussions. Enjoy!
