A brief item to mention that my Mastodon account, inactive for a good while, is active again.
A ‘quickies’ blog post — probably the last of them I’ll do — for October 2022.
This one’s not restricted-view — no login needed. I’ve made the past ‘quickies’ posts public, actually, with this one.
A brief item about a very accessible talk by U Chicago Divinity prof Sarah Hammerschlag, earlier this year, on Emmanuel Levinas in address to the Paris colloquium of French-language Jewish intellectuals in 1966.
A short note about ongoing work on the site.
A followup to the post of two weekends ago, occasioned by our friends at Yale and the ongoing opportunity an American democracy in collapse represents.
I haven’t posted anything on the long side on the blog in a good while, though I’ve wanted to (and begun here and there to draft things, abortively). This post is occasioned by James H Sweet, American Historical Assn. president and recently careless stumbler into public commendations from nasty figures like Richard Spencer.
A brief item to mention that I listened to an interview with Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and enjoyed it.
A brief item noting that I’ve been listening to lectures by Jason Blakely, developed from his ‘American Ideologies’ course.
Another brief item about history — American history this time, unrelated to the last post apart from the larger reflections it recalls me to.
