Today I was asked whether I knew of a university police officer who might take certain crimes against (usually) women seriously, so I went into the file on my former stalker to retrieve the name. In this process I glanced over part of the file, and saw things I had forgotten. For instance, my stalker … More C’est intéressant
That was a sentence the younger professors in my graduate program reiterated quite often, as a pedagogical remark. They had apparently thought they were “the next Foucault” and discovered this was not the case, and had had a difficult adjustment to a more modest reality. Their point was that we should not imagine we were … More “I realized I was not the next Foucault”
Here we have a marvelous artifact. Castro Carazo, the author of this song, was the LSU band leader hired by our man Huey. Axé.
Mignolo 111: “En el continente americano, la raza se convirtió en un motivo endémico de la conciencia del Nuevo Mundo, y por eso las razas se ‘sienten’ en América como se ‘sienten’ las clases en Europa.” He is discussing Lewis Gordon, Existentia Africana, another book I should read.

Hay dolor en la voz de Carmen cuando me responde el teléfono, pero no puede ser cierto. →Me dirás que sí, … More “Es sólo un viaje, Saúl”
That is Kid Ory, not Danny Barker, but this is Indian Red in a Danny Barker recording from the 40s, classic. And then there is the Professor. We have a culture here. Iko, y’all. Axé.
♦ You may add further authors associated with the literary “boom” of the 1960s, but you may not allege that all the writers of this group, or all Latin American writers, are “magical realists.” ♦ If you choose to include José Vasconcelos, you must also add Fernando Ortiz and Gilberto Freyre. You may not cite … More Rules for the M.A. examination, and for the area examination for the Ph.D., that I have actually had instituted in writing
