ORIGINAL: hands0n0knees I've always been puzzled by that verb, objectify. Presuming that you all consider yourselves more or less autonomous subjects, how could you not objectify something you perceive, be it a man's body or an elm tree? The opposite act, of subjectifying, necessarily includes a moment of objectifying. Eschew obfuscation! To put it less litotically, in other words, to avoid that trope whereby an affirmation is expressed by the negative of the contrary, who is the signatory, the I, both instances of the 'and', in the structure understood with the spectre of semiotics that you are complicit in promoting? More to the point, is your I a teleologically stable sumploke...or not? This guy? I like this guy.
