Foolishly, I responded to a colleague who asked me to give a talk in his
development lecture series, "But I don't believe in development!". The
riposte is now the title of my soon-to-be delivered talk. I am going to try
to write something about "development" as a trope that *does* a production
and policing of "the normal" (a la Doing things with Words/Austin blah
blah). Now I know someone has probably already written this paper, and one
of you folks might know who, or even have been the author of this paper.
Any hints or feedback on what I might read VASTLY appreciated. (I tried
mewling that I didn't have "any data", and wasn't that a sine qua non for
talking about development? That didn't work either. We live in strange
times.)
