Whatever happened to the soul of the citizen subject?
to living a life of dignity
What is the meaning of democracy…itself?
Has it really come to systems of economic relations,
Bushs’ top-down class warfare.
What is this biopolitics of neoliberalism?
Where choice is defined by our ambitions to privatize
or else…perish.
A spectacle of commodification
Social Death
What might it mean to take the social contract seriously?
to listen to the invisible others
the ramblings of a deranged woman in a public library
Politics of disposability returns to New…
We might say
concern is on the public agenda.
Who is on this receiving end of a punishing society
is it the youth?
A subtle hint…
school infractions now mean criminal records.
It is no small matter
THESE are our future resources
It makes complete sense…shrug shoulders
Do we have so few choices?
Power must be confronted when it shuts down conversation
histories and experiences MATTER
ask embarrassing questions.
Take responsibility for our responsibility
and reclaim public education into the public sphere as sites of potential resistance
