So, our class is pretty much over. I feel pretty bummed out about it. I can't wait to carry everything I experienced and learned into my future art, classes, research... I've also got a large amount of material to refer to, remember, and explore further...more Foucault, Nietzsche, Handke, Herzog, Benjamin, Hölderlin, Goethe, Pound, Crowley, Mallarme, Evenson...please...and all the rest...thank you...this class was just a starting point for me, a good start. I'll be lucky if I'm ever in another class that works out as well as this one did. The material, the complexion of the class, the interaction between students...teachers..., the approach and course that Alex and Scott took with teaching, everything somehow mixed together so well and culminated into an amazing experience.

An Ode to Our "Language: Most Dangerous of Possessions" Class
Thanks to everyone in the class, and anyone else who attended. Thanks Alex and Scott...not only for teaching us and introducing us to amazing ideas, but also learning/re-learning and exploring with us. I look forward to our last class on Wednesday and the get-together on Thursday.
I really hope that this blog stays alive...we all should continue to contribute and bring material from everywhere else we end up in our lives and from our other classes...etc.
Hope to see at least some of you in DADA.
(Also, if you want to become a contributor to this blog, just say so and I'm sure Torben will add you :)...)

Amen.
a class (or a discussion) is only as good as the participants. and this was an exceptional group -- the best i've seen in almost 30 years of teaching.
thank you all.
I always thought Math 1010 was my favorite class...(I have taken it 10 times, so I must love it) but I think our Language class has narrowly grabbed the top spot.
Thank you Abbott and Caldiero!
