      This campaign popped my proverbial fashion cherry.
      guess that dates me, but what can I say? This shit was monumental.

              I'm just waiting for the Lanvin "Gangnam Style" ad. I'd love to see Alber do the dance.

                    Slavoj Zizek for Abercrombie & Fitch


                    tossed a coin and the WTF thread lost out. and, this made me happy:

                    Zizek bristled at the suggestion that there was anything unseemly about an internationally renowned intellectual writing copy for a clothing catalog. ''If I were asked to choose between doing things like this to earn money and becoming fully employed as an American academic, kissing [EXPLETIVE] to get a tenured post,'' he growled, ''I would with pleasure choose writing for such journals!''

                      Oh, no, an intellectual railing against academia! He must not be an intellectual at all!

                        hey read it all and he makes it pretty clear he only did it for the money. He's not railing against academia, he is railing against the academic institution.

                        thanks for posting this MJRH, very interesting

                          and you can somehow decouple academia from academic institution? i think you are getting tangled in semantics.

                          also, best ad ever:

                            no, it is you who has been tangled in semantics.

                            Academia as a concept has strayed far from what is now called a "university". I don't know about Europe, but for America and Australia, I'm sure of it.

                              Academia - noun
                              (sometimes initial capital letter) . the milieu or interests of a university, college, or academy; academe.

                                okay the only reason why I'm still bothered to reply to you is because I really want to make this point about universities especially and you just misinterpreted what zizek said+ what others have said here about intellectuals.

                                to add to your definition: "Academia is the community of students and scholars engaged in higher education and research."

                                It is the millieu of a univeristy, not the university itself. Nowhere in either yours or my definition does it mention the "institutional" aspect of academia. The very early academics did not have an institutional basis because their concerns were education and research, not making fuckloads of cash.

                                When zizek says he'd rather write shit all for abercrombie and fitch than kiss ass to get a higher position in a university, he's railing against a part of the institution which has nothing to do with academia. If anything its the bastardisation of academia.
