Folks, if you're still reading this (and I hope you might be checking in from time to time in the future), I just wanted to apologize for my protracted absence. I am no longer in Germany (!) making a surprise decision to move back to the US (temporarily) at the expiration of my visa. So I've been in the middle of some tough stuff...and I don't have an internet connection set up here at my Texan waystation. I wish I had been able to write my thoughts here about all the stuff going on in the news...particularly the amazingly eloquent *insert dripping sarcasm here* State of the Union address, the New Hampshire primary debates, and, yes, the Golden Globes.

I'm not sure when I'll be back...I only have spotty access to the internet, so I guess I'll really only be able to write something once a week for the time being, until I get something more permanent set up at home. I'll notify you if there's to be any change! In the meantime, my sincere apologies for not being around in blogtopia--I'll be back again though! My best to all of you...I hope your new year is off to a great start!

Recognizing the power of the erotic within our lives can give us the energy to pursue genuine change within our world, rather than merely settling for a shift of characters in the same weary drama.

We should admit, rather, that power produces knowledge...; that power and knowledge directly imply one another; that there is no power relation without the correlative constitution of a field of knowledge, nor any knowledge that does not presuppose and constitute at the same time power relations.
