When my son Bruno killed himself in January 2007 my first impulse was to talk about it. I, my partner, and the rest of my family, came up immediately against the press guidelines that do not allow mention of suicide as a cause of death in the mainstream media.  Naively we [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=situationsvacant.wordpress.com&blog=2591744&post=52&subd=situationsvacant&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Introduction
For the bourgeoisie, the collapse   of &#8220;communism&#8221; made the world-historic victory of capitalism   seem certain. Yet the contradictions of capitalism immediately   called the new world order into question as globalisation brought   with it what Jacques Derrida calls the &#8220;10 plagues&#8221;.   Apologists for capitalism are now [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=situationsvacant.wordpress.com&blog=2591744&post=31&subd=situationsvacant&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Hone Tuwhare and Poster of Karl Marx as Construction Worker
Introduction
Today the struggle of indigenous peoples in Australasia is becoming institutionalised in international law and the post-modern politics of multi-cultural &#8216;difference&#8217;. When Derrida can visit Australia and NZ and be hailed as a partisan of indigeneity (Bedggood, 1999); when Lyotard can be invoked to bring [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=situationsvacant.wordpress.com&blog=2591744&post=29&subd=situationsvacant&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
