		<description><![CDATA[My first feeling, after locking my bike to a handrail and stepping onto the straw-strewn southeast corner of the Occupy Oakland encampment, was excitement of the same breed as a child’s sudden lifting of spirit and emotion when stepping onto the midway at a county fair. There was music! Candles! The magical alchemy of tents [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=erinelizabethgreer.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12146121&amp;post=368&amp;subd=erinelizabethgreer&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

How should we approach the central questions Benjamin raises, about a work&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=erinelizabethgreer.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12146121&amp;post=301&amp;subd=erinelizabethgreer&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

In fact, if we take Francis Fukuyama&#8217;s word, Ronald Reagan was the last POTUS of history-proper, as the end of the Cold War was allegedly also the End of History. Many intellectuals, of course, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=erinelizabethgreer.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12146121&amp;post=292&amp;subd=erinelizabethgreer&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Walter Benjamin contrasts two approaches to living with time: the gambler’s efforts to kill time, and the flaneur’s storage of time. The former seeks to pass time, to hurry through it, to compress and fling it onto the craps table and wake up several hours later. The latter absorbs time, lengthens it, suspends it and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=erinelizabethgreer.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12146121&amp;post=225&amp;subd=erinelizabethgreer&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
