Topos posted by Richard Seymour
Discover the Network ! I directed you all to this site some while ago, particularly to the diagrams replete with moving branches, little dollar signs and boxes naming institutions and magazines and each juncture.After reading this glowing review of the centre-left Dissent magazine at David Horowitz's Front Page magazine, I've got a better idea. There should be a website devoted to unearthing the structural affinities between Cold War liberalism and neoconservatism. Lots of little diagrams showing how the memes and rhetorical tics flow back and forth; maps showing overlapping discursive fields; scattergraphs depicting correlations and so on. As a topographical exercise it would be both useful and a precious wind-up for the likes of Horowitz and HP Sauce.
