Without Experience is a non-expereince based blog commenting on politics, theory, feminism, pop culture, and Africa. The title may jar some of you familiar with my emotional and political orientation toward identity politics, emancipation and freedom. Aren’t these all categories that, at the very core, deal directly with personal experience? Well, my answer is two fold: 1) this will not serve as a space for me to work out my personal issues or laundry lists (or grocery lists either) 2) I want to critically examine subjectivity rather than just assume its place in history since the switch was turned on in the 18th century and, I guess a fold for good luck, 3) I am interested in political strategies that create new codes for freedom outside of the liberal cutting machine–not that I know what these would be but that is the expedition for now. If you like to join along, pack your bags, off we go. Along the way expect to find some blogging beyond the pass system!
