Definitions of “indirection” usually imply deviousness, lack of straightforwardness, deceit. This blog contests such normative directionalities by proceeding from the premise that indirection constitutively marks subjectivity. Thought arises from suggestion. The personal is occasioned by the impersonal. Affect is anterior to act. Listening is prior to speaking. We are always indirectly who we are.

Announcing ... [drum roll, please]
The new blog presence for the newly established graduate student collective in medieval studies at the The University of Texas at Austin, Convivencia.
I volunteered to put a blog together for the group, but it's still very rudimentary. Per the group's desires, this will be a space primarily to disseminate information about upcoming gatherings and/or events, along with other more general announcements (e.g., CFPs, conferences, student awards, etc).
