AK is a Canadian political theorist who teaches at Concordia University in Montreal...he and his mate Marilouise Kroker are fond of hype catch- phrases: ' _____ (fill in the blank)-panic', 'sign-crimes', 'theory in ruins', 'excremental culture'...they revel in language-inflation that enlarges despair, frailty, & epochal compulsion...he's been known to show up for public appearances in black leather & riding a Harley... AK & MK were - and may still be - the editors of an on-line journal CTHEORY (which was a print journal with the stodgy title Canadian Journal of Political & Social Theory before 1993's transformation)...they used to - and may still - have a home page...electronic media artist (and self-identified cyber-feminist) Nancy Paterson would probably include AK among those she criticizes for their infatuation with 'cyber-culture' without understanding the hard-wiring...Michael Hoover
