<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>
The move from a structuralist account in which capital is
understood to structure social relations in relatively
homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power
relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and
rearticulation brought the question of temporality into
the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form
of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities
as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into
the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a
renewed conception of hegemony as bound up with the
contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of
power.

<p> By the eight brazen balls of Azuza the Bibulous Bandicoot,
I'd rather be cast naked and chained into a lake of bubbling
white hot fondue cheese than be one of her students. </p>
<p> That is, if she actually teaches anything at Berkeley [which
can be, really, a lovely place full of very smart science
people, theologians and historians, though you'd never know
it by this whale's spout of academic doublespeak]. </p>
<p> I suspect she sits on a lot of committees and inserts the
word 'hegemony' into conversations as often as possible and
is avoided at all costs during the holidays lest one become
becalmed in the horse latitudes of her spleen regarding
Christmas trees, "The Ref" and the hegemony of Zionist
post-piety in a restructured universe of gender
in-articulation. </p>
<p> For a full PhD at UCB in a language art, she cannot, and will
not, though, write a simple, clear, understandable sentence.
Think about that for a minute. </p>
<p> And to think my Cal state taxes pay for her office desk
chair. Man. </p>
<p> Hegemoniously yours, etc. </p>
