Idea for study - law as performance. Performance studies studying law. The performative dimension of language the performative nature of legal text and legal discourse.

What violence and electronic paper might have in common (or, what is called AMATEUR?)

Specificity and singularity: like the loss of what is possible that takes place every time a decision is made in ink or binary or sinew. Writing & tracing & marking being all double actions that produce and engage with a course committed-to by their act as they simultaneously dismiss the infinitude of possibility. This is [like] violence, which is also a medium subject to these conditions of production and determination. Tabula rasas aren't just tabula rasas, amiright?

SO

this doesn't seem to mean for me that all writing has purpose, just like all violence doesn't necessarily signify. What does this have to do with WEB LOGS!?!?!?!

It seems to me that the vast majority of blogs (that I see) are epigones of specialization, of what is appealed to in the name of something like expertise but more often than not appears to be a hollow abandonment of possibility. BLOGS ARE OFTEN A FORM OF INTELLECTUAL VIOLENCE THAT IS NOT BORN IN THEM BUT THAT THEY CARRY OUT TO A CERTAIN "FATAL" (OR MAYBE JUST "ANNOYING"/"UNNECESSARY") RAREFACTION

This is like the difference between a Jongleur and a minstrel, in that it is like the misunderstanding of what amateurs and professionals are. Amateur work is not inchoate professionalism; professionals are not people who've 'emerged' or 'achieved' or anything else teleological or so wanting a butterfly/coccoon metaphor.
AMATEUR is a movement from "amare," is to love, literally to be a thing's lover
PROFESSIONAL is someone who does something for money. To be a professional isn't to be 'better' than an amateur, it's to do something for recompense, even though it also usually implies some form of specialization and is much more able to lay claim to 'expertise' than amateurism.

My point is: to love and to produce something about one's love may unavoidably be an act of limiting and dismissal, as is any act that is performed and not just pure potential, but it does not have to then ossify and crystallize into something that resembles or has recourse to 'expertise' and is appeals to professionalism & vice versa.

Too many blogs are devoted to a specific medium, to collecting or disseminating or talking about fractions of mediums or discourses within them, and I think this happens because of a two tine'd appeal to professionalism and its benefits: on the one hand, if you limit a work, in this case a blog, to concerning and investing itself within a specific and easily (if not actually "easily") defined/delimited/bordered/hailed object, you produce a gloss of expertise simply by so doing (you write about what you know, therefore, you know about what you write - right?). This can then be literally transmuted via the magic of value (&/capital) into professional gains - a 'subject' blog can be used as a type of evidence of professionalism in order to be initiated into that class. A blog purposefully written can be used in a resume. Sometimes this exchange value of a blog is made literal in another way when people post those 'what is my blog worth' tabs.

So, I'm not interested in that. I won't be doing that. All this is really just to say I won't devote this to writing about any one subject, should I ever even post something else. I'm uninterested in anything but pure amateurism, and the openness of its kind of devotion.
