about
“Randy Rodriguez: No Way (Man)” is my independently developed blog site where I write social and political criticism intermingled with descriptions of my personal, everyday experience. I use my training as a cultural studies scholar to make connections between personal experience and larger cultural patterns, critically evaluating and exposing institutionalized hierarchies of power and inequality, and commenting with satirical and sarcastic force on the ironies of such patterns and the metaphors and rituals that support them uncritically and invisibly. In general, my site is a place for speculative and meditative creativity that resists preconceived, simple, predictably easy answers even as I occasionally represent and interrogate my life lived and imagined. I created the site in September 2009 and have posted over fifty entries which display a great variety of personal experience and critical cultural commentary.
