[lbo-talk] Rise of Nasty Right

[wrobert at uci.edu]

This reminds me of one of the stranger moments in one of Balibar's
classes.  Balibar was teaching a class on Freud and the political,
focusing on the idea of voluntary servitude.  In the midst of a discussion
on de la Boetie's small pamphlet on the topic, he noted along with the
familiar translation that gave the book the title discourse on voluntary
servitude (the book itself is without a title) there was a libertarian
translation, entitled 'slaves that are willing."  After that, he stated,
"I know what you are thinking, but it is not a porno."  He then went on to
do a reading of the text.  robert wood
