Abstract

Welcome to the first post-preparatory issue of the Bitnetwork. Post-preparatory, because, after a year of collecting a sense of who we are, we find our collection too vast and varied to identify, in too prepared a way, and, willy nilly, we find ourselves speaking rather than collecting. Acting, you might say, without preparation. If there is a postmodern philosophic self, it appears so much larger and messier than a pineal gland that we might rather call it a society than a self (close enough to William James' sense of personal identity, a bit more social perhaps than Julia Kristeva's). It remains to be seen what sort of discourse corresponds to this self-understanding and to what extent, as some of our members claim, its pedigree is rabbinic.
