The RFG?s first meeting of the quarter will be a discussion of Terry Eagleton?s book _After Theory_ and Elaine Marks? article ?Feminism?s Perverse Effects.? Through these readings, we will discuss ornamentality, excess, and the useless in relation to the humanities and the academy at large. Selected readings from the book and article are available in the English Department office and at the IHC.
