Re: [AUT] The State and Economy as Regimes of Discipline: Beyond State Fetishism -

["stevphen shukaitis" <stevphen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

so, you want to know - or you don't want to know? :)

i remember quite liking the essay when i read it last year. was using some
arguments from it for a section of my MA thesis to argue that sociology is
state centric and neglects other possible forms of political involvement
and community that do not correspond to the often implicitly held and
reified notions of nation-state boundaries.

i would have to re-read it again to say anything specific, b/c i was also
was using similar arguments from abrhams on the state (who you cite, and i
rememeber your argument about the somewhat overly idealist notions he
seems to use in his arguments about reifiction being useful) as well as
bourdieu's arguments on similar matters and an article from carolyn
nodrstrom on anthropology as the study of fragmentary sovreignty. but i do
rememerb quite liking it and probably ruthlessly stole all your arguments
during last year's renewing the anarchist tradition conference for the
panel on the role of the state in the global economy i was on. oh, i mean
borrowed . . . or collective enunicated in common . . . or whatever the
autonomist phrase is for when you snag someoone's ideas and don't bother
to cite them. bad me - tisk tisk . . .

will read it again when i get a chance. what did others think?

cheers
