    It's hard not to imagine the west otherwise. The landscape being so seemingly "foreign/alien" and overwhelming and all, it's no wonder that everyone freaked out about it. I'm still freaking out about it. When I flew over the Grand Canyon, it made me realize how ridiculously huge of a gash in the Earth it is. Pretty insane landscapes.

This blog serves as a transparent point of discourse for You Are Here--a Columbus collective that grew out of the Comparative Studies Undergraduate Group at the Ohio State University. It consists of people from all academic and social backgrounds with an emphasis on social theory. Most succinctly put, it is creative scholarship in affect--whether it be from academia, popular culture, art, language, or personal observation. The ideas expressed in this blog are by no means reached by consensus and do not necessarily reflect those of other members. The comments doubly so. Feel free to critique, question, or agree with any views expressed. You don't have to reside in or be familiar with the city of Columbus. As far as we're concerned, you are here.
