Can anyone tell I was listening to Amy Winehouse while I procrastinated writing my final paper today? To the tune of "Rehab":
They try to make me write my paper
I say No, No, No.
My brain’s gone hazy
And when I go crazy
You’ll know, know, know.
JSTOR makes me sad.
I should’ve stuck with undergrad.
They try to make me write my paper
But I say No, No, No.
I’m hostage at my computer screen
With no society but Mikhail Bakhtin.
I’m gonna, I’m gonna lose my patience
But I buckle down and increase my caffeine.
I didn’t learn much from Melville.
Only that to finish Moby Dick takes all my self will.
They try to make me write my paper
I say No, No, No.
My brain’s gone hazy
And when I go crazy
You’ll know, know, know.
JSTOR makes me sad.
I should’ve stuck with undergrad.
They try to make me write my paper
But I say No, No, No.

Do you know how lucky you are....with JSTOR? Back in my day, when we wanted an article, we had to leaf through dusty back issues while trying to fend off the amourous advances of sexy librarians. And I'm a fashion model!!!!
As for Moby Dick, if you want to interpret through a Bahktinian lens, just point out that the whale is not actually a thing, but a springboard off of which Herman Melbourne places the conventional referents vis a vis a paradoxical movement both toward the whale and away from it (simultaneously), while negating (and affirming) that the whale is vitalized by its possession of substance (what we might can whale-ness). Therefore, to be able to communicate the fixity of harpoons, Melvonne destroys both Ahab and Moby.

bibliographic citation: Ashley Olsen. "Herman Melbarre's Moby Dick: A reinterpretation and rejection of symbols, objects, and subjects through a Lacanian/Bahktinian/Derridian perspecktive." Unpublished dissertation. NYU: 2005.
Maybe this is exactly what Ms. Winehouse had in mind the entire time...
BEHOLD
Oh, Ashley Olsen! I already loved you for your baggy fashion sense, but now THIS? I haven't read something that made that degree of sense to me since I read Jacques Lacan.
Those people aren't worth reading, anyway.
Do you refer to Ashley Olson or Mikhail Bakhtin? (Now there's an issue I never thought I'd have to clarify.) :)
