...and this is what college is like.

From the foreword of Monster Theory:

"Together, we explore what happens when monstrousness is taken seriously, as a mode of cultural discourse. This examination necessarily involves how the manifold boundaries (temporal, geographic, technological) that constitute "culture" become imbricated in the construction of the monster--a category that is itself a kind of limit case, an extreme version of marginalization, an abjecting epistemological device basic to the mechanics of deviance construction and identity formation"
