Fight Club and the Deleuzian Century
I was going to wait until everything was completed with this before announcing this, but since that's been pushed back to fall, I figured that now is as good a time as any. My paper for Expos 2 (Expository Writing 2) got accepted for publication in the undergrad journal at Rutgers, Dialogues@RU. As of now, they haven't announced the winners of the prizes, which are $500 for first place and $250 for second and third place. Obviously I'm pretty psyched about all this.
As you can see, the title has changed since last time (formerly "Fight Club as Postmodern Film"). That's not the only thing that has changed, as it basically underwent an almost complete rewrite. I'm more satisfied now with the end-product though: in addition to being a stronger paper overall in my opinion, it has the benefit of being critiqued by someone who has relatively little theory background, so hopefully it's an easier read.
No need for a disclaimer this time. If you care to, you can read the final version here: Fight Club and the Deleuzian Century (see update for newer link).
Update: Hooray for generous prizes!!11 $500 the richer am I.
Update (15 Feb 2006): The Dialogues@RU journal has uploaded PDFs of the 2005 articles (which includes my own), along with the editor's commentary and my response. The updated link is Fight Club and the Deleuzian Century. You may also want to check out the other essays in the 2005 issue.
