The semantics of the opening line of Phineas and Ferb (“There’s a hundred and four days of summer vacation/and school comes along just to end it”) suggest that the purpose of the public school is to end summer vacation. The following verses describe a long string of quality independent educational endeavors, which are abandoned later in favor of the less-stimulating structured public school; as such, the central theme of the show serves as a metaphor for Foucault’s famous schools-as-prisons paradigm. in this paper i will

Abstract
Modern sovereignty is anthropocentric, constituted and organized by reference to human beings alone. Although a metaphysical assumption, anthropocentrism is of immense practical import, enabling modern states to command loyalty and resources from their subjects in pursuit of political projects. It has limits, however, which are brought clearly into view by the authoritative taboo on taking UFOs seriously. UFOs have never been systematically investigated by science or the state, because it is assumed to be known that none are extraterrestrial. Yet in fact this is not known, which makes the UFO taboo puzzling given the ET possibility. Drawing on the work of Giorgio Agamben, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida, the puzzle is explained by the functional imperatives of anthropocentric sovereignty, which cannot decide a UFO exception to anthropocentrism while preserving the ability to make such a decision. The UFO can be “known” only by not asking what it is.

I think the op must have me blocked because I can’t reblog the actual post but. this is my hole it was made for me. reading this list makes me understand why I was so charmed by the gonchposting because I’ve read most of these and they are extremely my shit. and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Danilo Kiš’ masterful short story collection The Encyclopedia of the Dead, particularly the eponymous story and ‘The Book of Kings and Fools.’
