		<title>The World Tasted: Dušan Makavejev’s Sweet Movie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many, including myself, were initially shocked and repelled by Makavejev’s most complex, explosive and assaulting film. In Sweet Movie, Eros and Thanatos are not concepts but forces. Wilhelm Reich, François Rabelais and Jonathan Swift, rather than Sigmund Freud, seem to inspire this never-safe journey, grounded in the senses, a journey which seems like it has [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=commonsenseknowledge.wordpress.com&blog=1506541&post=76&subd=commonsenseknowledge&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>gender and mathematical ability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite the attention paid to claims of substantial differences in various types of abilities—including mathematical, spatial, and verbal—between the sexes, it is remarkable that most research finds these differences to be trivial or small (even assuming that they can be measured properly and that all intervening factors can be accounted for). For example, using large [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=commonsenseknowledge.wordpress.com&blog=1506541&post=73&subd=commonsenseknowledge&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>the trouble with being human these days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Inevitably, the undermining of familiar institutions, an aspect of modernity that has certainly been intensified in recent years, has had important consequences for people&#8217;s sense of identity. There is nothing new about the observation that national and class-based identities (both of which had seemed almost definitively modern) have been upset by the end of the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=commonsenseknowledge.wordpress.com&blog=1506541&post=69&subd=commonsenseknowledge&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Feminism of the Anti-Capitalist Left</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. Feminism and democratic, progressive and revolutionary currents
Feminism must be declined in its plural, feminisms, as women belong to various classes and cultures and have different political reference points. For example, there is a form of feminism in Italy among right-wing parliamentarians and career women, who lay claim to their share of power with the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=commonsenseknowledge.wordpress.com&blog=1506541&post=62&subd=commonsenseknowledge&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>savage capitalism-the ecosocialist alternative</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is an edited version of the main document discussed at the September 1/2 annual general meeting of Socialist Resistance in Britain. The document explains why Socialist Resistance is changing its political programme, perspectives and public profile towards being an anti-capitalist, ecosocialist organisation. This is to make explicit a change in it’s perspectives that has [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=commonsenseknowledge.wordpress.com&blog=1506541&post=61&subd=commonsenseknowledge&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Extracts from Gender as Performance: An Interview with Judith Butler taken by Peter Osborne and Lynne Segal, London, 1993. 
RP: We&#8217;d like to begin by asking you where you place your work within the increasingly diverse field of gender studies. Most people associate your recent writings with what has become known as &#8220;queer theory&#8221;.

		<title>sex &amp; consequences: an anthropologist vindicates the traditional family</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Peter Wood
Anthropology—hometown to cultural relativists and all-night diner for disaffected intellectuals—may not be where you would most expect to find good reasons to defend traditional American family values. But anthropology, in fact, guards a treasure house of examples of what happens when a society institutionalizes other arrangements.
Want to know what it really means for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=commonsenseknowledge.wordpress.com&blog=1506541&post=21&subd=commonsenseknowledge&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
