culturemonkey lives! Back to Žižek

culturemonkey has been a bit quiet this summer as its primary contributors have been flung far and wide—but I'm hoping the site will become active again as we slide back into another school year. Towards that end I've finally put up the second half of my long post on Žižek's critique of ecology, trying to think through some of the issues Žižek raises. (Here, if you missed it, was Part 1.) It's pretty long and more than a little bit sprawling—and the best stuff in it is all from Kim Stanley Robinson—but at least it starts off talking about the vast political problems of trying to terraform Mars.
