Nosh, a cookbook by Micah Siva
01/06/2024
NOSH, Micah Siva. “The picture is of food I made after taking her class. The taboulleh has lentils instead of grain, includes blueberries and pomegranate Zatar spice blend. the other things are jackfruit shawarma and potato/onion kreplach.” I don’t need more books and I never cook with cookbooks, but it’s possible I should make an … More Nosh, a cookbook by Micah Siva
Elite Capture

What interests me about the book isn’t just the thesis. It’s that, as he points out, people have seen this and written about it before. Decades ago. The other thing is the arguments he describes in detail, I didn’t know all of the people he discusses. And chronology gets clarified since he is looking globally. … More Elite Capture

I learned of him on Twitter. He has many interesting books, and from what I gather so far has been translated to Spanish more than to English. Culture is infinite– Axé.

Aquí. This article is very pretty, with lovely and suggestive prose. Paisaje is naturaleza convertida en cultura por un sujeto; it is an imago, or an idealized image. According to Lezama it is paisaje that creates culture. And it is in the discovery of countryside that la expresión americana begins, and it is the imago … More Imago y paisaje

Cultural Critique 5: Modernity and Modernism, Postmodernity and Postmodernism
16/04/2024
Here it is. Issue 26 is there too, and I had annotated Pérez-Torres’ piece on nomads and migrants, for Vallejo and for borderlands. I wonder if it will still seem relevant. I will take the journal home and look, and then I will recycle it. Axé.
