There may be difficulties about cultural studies, and some of then have been rehearsed here, and I agree that we need to take a long hard look at the theoretical situation. But at the same time one of the achievements of the past twenty years has been the opening up of postcolonial theory, and...

Chanwook Park's film slays allcomers as the movie of the year. A Shakesperean take on the Oedipal drama. I was in tears, I was ripping my clothes, I was in shock for days afterwards. Oh Dae-Sue. Oh Dae-Su! (Choi Min-Sik)

my "poetry" blog is here : http://peyoetryhut.blogspot.com thanks, this is interesting stuff. Nick said: But I like The Last Poets Me too, and the Watts Prophets. I guess I want to know who people see around, whether in Grime, hip-hop, new folk, the 'hidden reverse' or wherever, with the...
