  1. ariel riveros (Google+)said:Debaprasad - I read your other soul'd in and out for some pages - to defend Foucaul but not evangelise - he did expound the theory of Heterotopia - recognizing heterogeneity in the lived experience that one could call "atypical" - for example, a friend of mine looked in the mirror, saw her eyes and everything else disappeared.

    Recently deceased exiled Chilean filmmaker Raul Ruiz when arriving in London saw himself on the other side of the street. Utopia? no - the capacity of human consciousness, yes.

    I enjoyed the extricating of Nietzsche's writing away from French "domestication" hahaha - his biologism is intriguing. I sense that we share "non-believing" - as a friend of mine once quipped "atheism itself is a religious concept" - very comical and very astute.

    I am learning about tantra, my miniscule knowledge of Sanskrit, it is defined on wikipedia (apologies for the source!) as "reaching out"- so in Tantra - I consider myself as a Tantric sociologist only - in the manner of Loic Wacquant but dancing and not quite boxing.

    There are some interesting academics and critics I think you would enjoy meeting in my circles - I refer a blog ecologywithoutnature.blogspot.com North American and http://utopianrealism.blogspot.com/ Baltic European

    The no-body or self you describe from the Nietzschean bombast (I do like his writing) is challenged when the ghostliness is cellularised in biology - as Deleuze with have it "becoming-molecular" - Tim Mortenson UCLA "Beings are ghosts radiating isotopes" (2011) firmly planted and fleshed in a terrestrialism of flesh and elements http://acceleratednihilism.blogspot.com/ a European Spanish author.

    As well there is a google powerhouse Amaris Martel - a writer whose passion neuroscience, art and nature.
    She posts often. Though I admire the Tantric directness of sex - cross cultural adaptation I would advise - look for the commonalities and be mindful of the differences, with respect (A phrase of vernacular appeal). Keep Well Debraprasad :))ariel riveros (Google+)
