  • Response to This Article About the Hasbro/Discovery Hub Shift In
    Response to this article about the Hasbro/Discovery Hub shift in power...which turned into another my long-winded, thoughtful rants: http://online.wsj.com/articles/discovery-to-take-control-of-the-hub-network- 1410979842 Well, that's...somewhat shocking. From what I can tell, the Hasbro/Discovery partnership in The Hub has been an amazing success. I watch the channel almost every day. Most of its programming is--and has been, for the past 3.5 years--excellent. From the original series (FiM, Pound Puppies, Strawberry Shortcake, LPS, Dan Vs., Aquabats Super Show, Family Game Night, Care Bears, Transformers, Haunting Hour), to all the other wonderful shows/sitcoms (oh my goodness!! Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Goosebumps, Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, Step By Step, Who's the Boss, Family Ties, The Facts of Life, Sister, Sister, Sabrina, Atomic Betty, etc.), to the extremely well-chosen family movies (I loved it when they aired the Homeward Bound films, All Dogs Go to Heaven 2...today I saw Spaceballs...and they've just made so many other great movie picks every season.) They've been an outstanding example of listening to your viewers and giving them what they want. Even their misfires and middle-of-the-road shows are more than bearable (SheZow, animated Sabrina, Teenage Fairytale Dropouts, Kid President, Parents Just Don't Understand, and such.) If Hasbro were to grow dissatisfied with controlling six hours of its toy-based cartoons daily on Hub (which seems like a fair deal they've cut, tbh), and moved them over to Cartoon Network or Disney...well, at least the shows would still continue on, and be a MASSIVE boon to either of those channels.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. As posted on Jodi Dean’s blog, July 17, 2006. http://jdeanicite.typepad.com/. 2. I remain convinced that the series of books that Arthur and Marilouise Kroker initiated through their own press efforts (New World Perspectives) during the 1990s, written in a delirious style that matched Deleuze and Guattari’s efforts in Anti-Oedipus and Thousand Plateaus, were a forewarning of what has come to pass—global capitalism in full bloom continues to decenter identity into various assemblages as a means to increase profit margins through the rhetoric of digitalized technology as freedom. Paul Virilio’s tech- nology as pure speed, Jean Baudrillard’s technology as simulation, Roland Barthes technology as rhetoric, Jean François Lyotard’s technology of aesthetics, Foucault’s technologies of the self, and Deleuze and Guattari’s technology as a desiring machine present an idealized landscape of total mutability where an Enlightened subjectivity seems to be a quaint idea of the past. 3. This was the same criticism leveled at Judith Butler’s performativity thesis when it was first developed in the early 1990s, with its bold claims of resistance to patriarchy despite her attempt to ward off her detractors in Bodies that Matter. Her thesis still remains problematic, unsolved, and strongly critiqued (see Tim Dean (2000), although her work has become progressively more psychoanalytic as she continually changes her position (see Layton, 2004, 207–240 for an assessment). By 2004, Butler had already moved on through yet another self-critique in Undoing Gender. 4. Difficult in this context not to think of the 1988–90 television series Alien Nation, where the story line enabled the exploration of issues of racial difference.
