		<description><![CDATA[Another fragment of offline writing re-posted here &#8211; this one&#8217;s potentially quite rough and ready, and in need of double-checking with the texts to which I refer, so read with all due caution, etc.
***
The notion that Capital has certain “literary” features is neither new nor uncommon.  As Wolff (1988) notes, however, until very recently [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay.  Labour power.  Inversion.  How does this inversion retroject itself onto the opening passages of Capital, transforming our understanding of what we thought we knew at that moment in the text?  Just as important:  how does what was already said at that early point in the text, interact with the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am absolutely buried at the moment, but I thought I would belatedly post a pointer to an energetic discussion still unfolding over at Larval Subjects on the question of the necessity of &#8220;difficult writing&#8221; in certain kinds of philosophical texts.  From the original post:

As often happens in the midst of PhD research, I had gone through the book really quickly, decided I wanted to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Evidently, I take great pleasure in seeing other people confused by the same things that confuse me.  In the library today, where I was not doing research on Hegel&#8217;s Phenomenology of Spirit, I nevertheless kept finding myself in the stacks, near places where works on Hegel were shelved.  As I wandered past, titles [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been to my university library three times today.  It&#8217;s about to close for a week for the holidays, and I&#8217;m finding myself having panicky, pre-withdrawal, symptoms.  I keep anxiously associating to books I&#8217;ve been meaning to read, and running down there to check them out.  This impulse is generating new, flow-on [...]]]></description>

The format involves a sort of casual introductory event the evening before the formal presentations, at [...]]]></description>
