[lbo-talk] nice formulation

[Doug Henwood]

Something's happened to Judith Butler's prose style - it's gotten 
clear, even elegant. Here's a nice formulation from her excellent 
piece "Jews and the Bi-National Vision" (which includes a tough 
critique of Zionism) in the new Logos 
<http://www.logosjournal.com/butler.htm>:


>This would mean living to the side of one's nationalism, of one's 
>identification, allowing for a decentering of a nationalist ethos. 
>The question of establishing and tending to relations will be more 
>important than grounding oneself in an identity. Something other 
>than nationalism has doubtless emerged already through these 
>associations and collaborations, something inadvertent, even 
>beautiful.
