Peter Kilander sends (and thanks for this fwd, just in time for my writing up an undergrad lecture on 'cultural theory'):


>F*** yeah, Ms. Joan Scott! I couldn't have said it better.

That would be Fuck yeah, Professor Joan Scott. I love the divesting of her title in summing up. Usually I'm wouldn't give a damn about this but the entire piece is about authority very much framed institutionally and it's typical that no account of her seniority and her improtnace (I'm a great fan) is given here, especially as she has the most intelligent thing to say.
