"I ***** love Foucault. I ***** with Foucault hard," enthused Supriya Ganesh, star of The Pitt, in a recent interview with New York magazine. Ganesh, who uses she/they ***** ouns, never felt comfortable with rigid gender and ***** uality labels, and Foucault's The History of ***** uality, Volume I showed her how these categories have in fact varied across cultures and through history: "I think this idea of defining ***** uality is very new—or at least that's the argument he's making … it really illuminated a lot of that for me."
Ganesh was unwittingly providing fresh evidence for the central argument of The Frenchmen: Or, My Life in Theory, which proposes that a small group of dead twentieth-century intellectuals are "crucial for understanding the world we inhabit today." Written by Emily Eakin, a senior editor at The New York Times Book Review, The Frenchmen focuses on eight French or French-speaking theorists (Louis Althusser, Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Félix Guattari, Jacques Lacan, and Paul de Man) who, she argues, "permanently alter[ed] how we think not only about bedrock philosophical ideas but about the role of language in shaping those beliefs and everything else."
Eakin's Frenchmen are an eclectic group, differing in interests, politics, and methods. Two were practicing psychoanalysts. Most were academics, working in fields including philosophy, linguistics, semiotics, anthropology, history, and comparative literature. They wrote on topics as varied as schizophrenia, prison architecture, photography, Edgar Allan Poe, and (in Barthes's case) their mom. What unites them, according to Eakin, is their emphasis on systems, as opposed to individuals, and their attention to the complex and contradictory ways that language operates. Instead of taking for granted (as the existentialists did) that people are autonomous free agents defined by their choices, they wrote about the ways people and texts are created and constrained by powerful yet unstable structures of knowledge and language—an idea that resonates in our era of inescapable algorithms and artificial intelligence. ("Chatbots frighten us," Eakin writes, "to the degree that they make literal theory's suggestion that thought does not require a human thinker.")
"Deconstruction," an ***** ytical method developed by Derrida, came to define French theory and is at the heart of Eakin's book. She defines it as "a style of reading" that "took apart" a text and left it in pieces, showing how it was undone by its own internal contradictions. A common deconstructive move is to show how the binary terms that a text's argument depends on—for example, speech versus writing—are not actually opposed after all. In classic Derridean fashion, Eakin structures her book around an oft-repeated binary between "theory" and "real life" that she sees as ripe for deconstructing, contrasting the Frenchmen's "stringent antihumanism" with their all-too-human lives; academic t

With public interest in Ariana Grande reaching a fever pitch, the pop star is reportedly ready to hit pause. According to a source, the "Petal" singer plans to retreat from the public eye after her ongoing tour wraps up in exactly one month. The decision is reportedly fueled, in part, by growing public scrutiny surrounding her health, appearance, and relationships.

One of Grande's reps spoke with PEOPLE and said that the "Wicked" star will be "taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour."
"She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny," the rep added. "This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much."

Real Housewives of Orange County alum Jeana Keough is nearing the end of her tongue cancer treatment, but she's making clear the fight is far from over.
According to a report Page Six published Thursday, July 30, Keough, 70, discussed her prognosis via email, writing, "It's upsetting to know that even after all this treatment, I still only have a 40 to 60 percent cure rate within the next five years. We're just praying that I'm on the good side of that coin flip."
She continued, "I can see the finish line now, but I'm hearing it's a long climb to recovery and that I'll likely have the feeding tube for two to six months."

Keough also revealed that her diagnosis was delayed after what she described as a misdiagnosis by her longtime dentist. She stated that she initially sought treatment for a sore on her tongue, but her dentist believed one of her teeth was rubbing against it and repeatedly filed the tooth down over several visits rather than referring her to a specialist or recommending a biopsy.

The conversation surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding shows no signs of slowing down. As Swifties continue to dissect every detail from the celebration, an alleged ******* tail menu has emerged as the latest viral talking point. The image claims to reveal three personalized drinks inspired by the couple, and social media users have been quick to weigh in. Although its authenticity remains unconfirmed, one ******* tail has already won over fans with its clever name and unique blend of ingredients
An alleged ******* tail menu from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding has become the latest topic of discussion online. The image, shared by fan account theTSupdates on X alongside a photo from the couple's engagement, had the caption, "Some of the ******* tails menu at Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce's wedding." That said, the image has not been verified, and there has been no official confirmation that it is authentic.
Even so, fans wasted little time dissecting the menu. The photo appears to show three signature ******* tails created for the celebration: The English Teacher, The Gym Teacher, and T&Tequila. While each drink sparked curiosity, The English Teacher quickly emerged as the clear favorite among fans.
According to the unverified menu, the ******* tail includes Empress gin, St-Germain elderflower liqueur, lavender syrup, and fresh lemon juice. The refreshing combination immediately caught the attention of Swifties, many of whom said it sounded like the perfect summer ******* tail.
The drink's name also appears to reference one of the couple's best-known relationship milestones. After announcing their engagement in August last year, Swift shared a series of photos on Instagram alongside the caption, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married." It seems the alleged ******* tail names were inspired by that announcement, with The Gym Teacher seemingly serving as Kelce's counterpart.

Yes, it's really happening. But what exactly is it?
After months of speculation and tabloid fervor, pop star Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will hold a wedding celebration at New York City's Madison Square Garden this week, two sources told CNN on Tuesday.
Crews buzzed around the venue today. A worker pushed a stack of boxes marked "lobster meat." A truck appeared to deliver a massive tree branch. Asked about the activity, one worker said: "My lips are sealed."
Extra New York Police Department officers will be deployed to the area around Madison Square Garden for the celebration, according to a law enforcement official with knowledge of the plans.
Organizers are planning to build a tent to obstruct the view of a portion of West 31st Street near Seventh Avenue, the official said, so guests can exit their vehicles without being seen.

One of the more unique aspects of Former President Barack Obama was that he would answer 10 letters from Americans a day. The letters came from around the country and covered just about any topic imaginable. Some of those letters are on display at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago — and in a recent interview, Obama got a video update from one letter writer that prompted an emotional response.
As the former president put it, "That was a setup."
The letter in question was written by a then 7-year-old who'd lost her mother to cancer. Her mom was able to vote for Obama in 2008, just before she died. The president wrote back about the loss of his own mother, who died in 1995.
In the video he shared on social media, Obama gets an update about how the letter writer is doing. "I feel a lot of emotions right now, mainly peace and pride, knowing that my mother's legacy continues to live on not only through myself but now at the Obama Presidential Center," the now 24-year-old Emily said.
"I also feel very grateful to be able to report back 17 years later. And I'm happy to say that I was able to graduate college with a BSN and have since become a registered nurse. I would like to take this opportunity also to thank President Barack Obama for everything he has done, as well as always reminding me to dream big dreams."

A state appeals court on Friday upheld former Hollywood power-player producer Harvey Weinstein's 2022 rape conviction while ordering him to be resentenced.
"The sentence is vacated and the matter is remanded for resentencing," the court docket stated. "In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed."
Weinstein was found guilty in December 2022 in California of three counts of ***** ual offences, including rape. In February 2023, he was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Weinstein's spokesman Juda Engelmayer said Weinstein would continue to appeal the conviction as "significant legal issues deserve further consideration."
"We are disappointed by today's decision and respectfully disagree with the court's conclusions."
