Something I didn’t take on in this long article I just published was Mary L. Pratt’s concept of the “contact zone,” which I also don’t like. I think it’s too abstract, too totalizing, too asceptic, too fuzzy, and above all, it assumes the existence of no-contact zones. I know, languages in contact, cultures in contact. … More The contact zone
It was in 1964 that the Supreme Court of the United States ruled to allow prisoners to sue on prison conditions. The nation-state cannot tolerate multi-ethnic populations, and this is why there is so much effort toward homogenization. Empires, on the other hand, are easily multi-ethnic. We are currently supposed to say that online courses … More Neoliberal or postmodern things, and the past of the present
Felber says prison activism was central to the black liberation struggles after the second world war and was MUCH MORE than a result of civil rights workers being held at Parchman; it was not derivative of the civil rights movement. Also, the modern carceral state wasn’t just conservative backlash; it was built in negotiation with … More Adding to That Prison Paper
This is the most interesting comment I have found on the show. “Behzat Ç. is a not a kind of TV serials which you are familiar with.

“Standards based grading, gave each of the 5 course objectives 10/100 pts, and said they needed a 70% in each of those to pass. So you could get 100% in all objectives but one, have technically an 80% but if you don’t master documentation and citation, its not happening. It was more fair for me … More Standards based grading

I may have failed it due to diffident and careless work. I am just like the students, doing things resentfully. I was reminded of Bloom’s taxonomy, which has its uses. I already knew, and had views on the discourse of student learning objectives. I knew course materials and activities should be coordinated to these, and … More What I learned in that online course
Here is a detailed description. And they have that Amerindian number. Note: “The third number was released already in autumn 1942 with Paalen´s essay “Art and Science” about the Goethe-Newton debate on light, adapted to the dangerous imbalance of scientific and artistic notions in the modern world in view of the atomical danger. It contained … More Revista DYN
“I am delighted by my online class this semester and I made nary a powerpoint or video for it. I did record it if you missed class and wanted to revisit something. The only platforms were Google documents, Zoom, and Blackboard, and BB mostly for archiving course materials and discussion boards.” Tudo bem. Axé.
