I was rather upset with my new HSBC bank card as it looks like it should belong to a kid compared to my old RBS sleek silver card. However, after closer inspection I discovered that the picture on the card is the flows of capital moving over the body of the earth. Am now very pleased with it.

Also thanks to Charlotte Street for bringing my attention to a section in Zizek's Organs Without Bodies in which Levinas is asked about the relationship between Israel and Palestine. Will be bringing that up in my next Levinas seminar.
