Paper to write...sometime...

Academics like to stake their claims on certain topics and arguments that they plan on working on in the future. These usually appear in conclusion sections of dissertations or books. Well, since I'm lightyears away from either of those, here is my claim on a topic that I think would go nicely at next year's ACA/PCA at the Hub in Boston.

{FullMetal Alchemist: Theorizing Disability and Subjectivity} is the intellectual property of Amy Lea Clemons, PhD Candidate at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN. Touch it and I'll sue.

...not that anyone would have taken it before me...but...you never know.

I wish I could write it for Mike's class, but it has little to do with "Access" and more to do with social constructions of disability. After all, the only thing Ed and Al want to access is the Stone--they get information just fine because of Ed's military ranking.
Hmmmmmmm, says the theorist.

Oh what a tangled web we weave
actually it's not we who weave it
it's always already there
and it's deception is that it makes itself disappear
and convinces us we have the ability to unglue ourselves from it
(Foucault)
