Cock Suspense
Alright, for all of you got the cockfighting reference, I'd like to congratulate you on your troubling erudition.
For everyone else, see what you've been missing by not having the luxury to stroll through The Critical Tradition this semester. If you are really curious you can check out the table of contents--lookie there, Geertz is on page 1253! I would highly encourage any of you to read the Geertz's essay, because it is genuinely interesting and, well, fun. What can I say? The old Balinese landlord has already said it best--"We're all cock crazy!"
It's also hands-down the most readable essay in that entire book, unless you count Lacan's "The Agency of the Letter in the Unconscious or Reason since Freud," which you can read here.
We have our test on the second half of that book today, pages 697-1607. Wish you could be there.
