Time to briefly engage with, or at least jump sideways from, the bubbling effervescent musings of my friend Mark. (You can tell he’s hanging out in Hawaii because the writing is all so abrupt and volcanic. The writing that happens when you live where it is all edge - water, beach, mountain, rock, lava, the ‘real’ U.S. is over there elsewhere.) So, he found a really interesting post elsewhere about RSS poetics which leads him to wonder

Is this indicative of a reverse-writerly theory that turns Barthes on his head or is it more like a theory-play where remixology meets pleasure of the text?

Perhaps it is neither? One of the places we seem to have found ourselves within (and which Mark’s own practice probably exemplifies) is the dissolution of what at the end of the day are increasingly quaint dualisms.
