I was just promising myself if I could finish Chapter 3 before Friday, I would reward myself for the movie, The Da Vinci Code. But I had a car accident today, so it ruined my plan for the weekened, I would probably need to stay home to recover and do more homework.
I love the novel so much. I really appreciate the idea that Jesus was married to a woman. That makes more sense, right? I also like the idea that another force challenges the authority of Vatican and its church system.
If I remember it correct, it should be about Foucoult's hegemony.
I know that the novel is fictional, but no one can deny that the author, Dan Brown is brilliant.
Ha~~~~
Gosh~~ why did I have the accident?

Computer Imbecile
Do people freak out when their computer breakdown?
I felt like an imbecile whenever there was a dysfunction in my computer.
It is like a curse that my computer always abandons me when I need it the most
It drives me nut~~~~

Honey ! It's a lesbian !
To work on your master thesis is like living in the hell.
For the past two months, my routine life has became like:
Wake up in the morning, sit myself in front of the laptop
and then spend the rest of the day, staring at the computer,
thinking. (Perhaps I am a bit over exaggerated, no one can have
such super concentration) I do spend time on the daily chore
and working three hours every evening. Every day is such a
long day to me. Two more months to go~~~~
I do wish it will end more quickly or at least, on time.
Today,I read across a part in Sara Salih's book "Judith Butler"
and laughed so loud at this:
To claim, as Butler does, that sex is always (to a degree) performative is to
claim that bodies are never merely described, they are always constituted in
the act of description. when the doctor and nurse declares "It's a girl/boy!',
they are not simply reporting on what they see (this would be on a
constative utterance), they are actually assigning a sex and a gender to a
body that can have no existence outside discourse. In other words, the
statement 'It's a girl/boy!' is performative. Butler returns to the birth/
ultrasound scene in the final Chapter of Bodies, "Critically Queer', where,
as before, she argues that discourse preceded and constitutes the 'I' i.e.
the subject:
To the extent..............
It's a girl!' is not a statement of fact but an interpellation that initiates the
process of 'girling', a process based on perceived and imposed differences
between men and women, differences that are far from 'natural' . To
demostrate the performative operations of interpellation, Butler cites a cartoon
strip in which an infant is assigned its place in the sex-gender system with the
exclamation 'It's a lebian!'. Far from an essentialist joke, the queer
appropriation of the perfomative mimes and exposes both binding
power of the heterosexualizing law and its expropriability. (88-89)
I think, to deconstruct female gender doesn't mean to negate the male
gender and make female gender the subject or the other the weaker part.
Instead, it is , as what Butler is trying to do, to embrace a multi-formity
of gender.
