Essays on the Game

With contemporary postcolonial critique, Darkmatter offers a series of papers discussing HBO’s The Wire.

With titles including:

- “The Wire: Investigating the use of a Neoliberal Institutional Apparatus and a ‘New Humanist’ Philosophical Apparatus,”

- “The Politics of Brisket: Jews and The Wire,”

- “The Life and Times of Fuzzy Dunlop: Herc and the Modern Urban Crime Environment.”

These papers will help all you David Simon fanatics expand your Wire water cooler repartee beyond “Who’s cooler: Slim Charles or Stringer Bell?” and “Who’s dumber: Ziggy or Herc?” because the answers are totally Slim Charles and Herc.

This is The Rumpus

The Rumpus.net is an online magazine focused on culture, as opposed to "pop culture." Pop culture can be hard to define and the term means different things to different people. Basically, we're not opposed to things that are popular, but we have no interest in "art" created by marketing executives. And we have no interest in derivative art, like images of famous people made from shoelaces or Star Wars characters in funny wigs. (More on what we're about here, here, and here.)

The Rumpus is not worried about being the first to break the news. We care about good writing, and we'll publish essays just because the writing is good. And we won't run a well crafted meditation alongside an actor's opinion of the war in Iraq. (more)
