An excerpt from Dr Raygun’s ACTUAL PhD thesis synopsis (not a joke or parody - this is real):
“I USE ANALYTIC AUTOETHNOGRAPHY AND INTERVIEWS WITH SCENE MEMBERS IN COLLABORATION WITH THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS OFFERED BY DELEUZE AND GUATTARI, BUTLER, BOURDIEU, AND OTHER FEMINIST AND POST-STRUCTURALIST PHILOSOPHERS, TO CRITICALLY EXAMINE HOW THE CAPACITIES OF BODIES ARE CONSTITUTED AND SHAPED IN SYDNEY’S BREAKDANCING SCENE, AND TO ALSO LOCATE THE POTENTIALITY FOR MOMENTS OF TRANSGRESSION. IN OTHER WORDS, I CONCEPTUALIZE THE BREAKING BODY AS NOT A ‘BODY’ CONSTITUTED THROUGH REGULATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS, BUT AS AN ASSEMBLAGE OPEN TO NEW RHIZOMATIC CONNECTIONS.”
That
@Macquarie_Uni supports and indulges such insane delusion of academic waffle says all you need to know about how utterly fked up Australia’s academic scene is right now.
Anyone else sick of their tax dollars funding this crap? And how did we end up with a subculture of elite spoilt brats in Sydney and Melbourne who think pumping out this garbage is a legitimate way to live off other productive members of society?
She makes a living teaching this BS at said University as a lecturer. AND got funded by taxpayers to go to the NSW Institute of Sport? WTF?
