"the Rights of Man are the rights of those who have not the rights that they have and have the rights that they have not"
I do believe that my head just exploded.
STILL not done my paper. Or my scholarship application. And I forgot to call and order my transcripts which is very very bad (will do it first thing tomorrow).
But I have a class tomorrow morning at 10 and am trying to read the assigned articles for that. Most of them were not so bad.
But the one I am (trying to) read right now just HURTS. SERIOUSLY hurts!
Not helped by the fact that Ross just keeps talkin' to me - all very interesting, I'm sure - but I am busy straining my brain trying to make sense of ~stuff~ like "the Rights of Man are the rights of those who have not the rights that they have and have the rights that they have not." (Ranciere)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Man I amuse myself *way* to easily
defines the one term (man) in terms of the other (citizen) and thus determines
the human not in human terms but in political ones and, consequently,
defines the human as being against another human"
aha! One of the other articles helps. Doesn't totally make sense of the first one - but it does rather help.
i.e. I have these rights, you have those rights, let's get together and share our rights.
That's a wretched sentence. "They" is not associated closely enough with what it's referring to. It sounds like they're saying Man A has some rights that Man B doesn't have, and Man B has rights that Man A doesn't have. Maybe Lance understands it best. :)
