About MeThis is a list of answers to possible questions Contrary to my family heritage, its Irish. 7697 days In Sydney. I moved from the conservative, sterile north shore to the relaxed inner West a couple of weeks ago and love it here. Sociology. Because it's aware of its own shortcomings, takes nothing for granted and is infinitely flexible. Define single I was drunk at the time. About the TitleThe title is an ironic testament to my Consuming Project of the previous semester (each semester, I take on one project which I direct the most attention towards). In this case, it was a polemic between contemporaries Zygmunt Bauman and Anthony Giddens and the early Modernist Sociology Ferdinand Toennies. Infinite Community was coined to sit most uncomfortably with these theorists, yet most comfortably with my (early) conceptions of the phenomenon of weblogging. About the BlogI began this blog in July 2003. First and foremost this blog is a vehicle for my academic praxis. I enjoy writing enourmously, particularly if that writing concerns complex social theory. I know this is not conducive to easily digestible reading, so I try to modify my rants accordingly. I also value my readership enough to address concerns about my turgid narcissism on a case by case basis. The email me link is there if you feel the urge, and I generally respond within a few days. Second, it is a personal site. Expect me to drop in the occassional personal note. Third, it is social. I never started this blog to *meet people* or to *make friends.* In fact, apart from Nic, almost none of my friends are regular readers. Therefore, I aim to connect with great minds, and great humour across the world. Why else would anyone use the internet? Declan @ 5:23 PM xxx |
