The Last Psychiatrist published a copy of the exam on which all those Harvard students allegedly cheated, and I know about this from Clarissa. It is a very well constructed exam, and I would be glad to study with this professor. Axé.
Lore
25/08/2012
Do you have Lore, and if so, what do you think? Originally I had regular websites for classes, that I designed. Then the University websites went down during Katrina so I had Facebook groups for classes, soon replaced by WordPress blogs. Around the same time the University got Moodle. At this point Lore seems more … More Lore
La nostalgia autoritaria
23/08/2012
La aplicación del principio mayoritario a secas y a rajatabla termina inevitablemente en una dictadura de la mayoría. Pero la democracia no es el gobierno de las mayorías, sino del pueblo. Y para su buen funcionamiento requiere que predominen los principios de inclusión y pluralidad por encima de una supuesta gobernabilidad o unidad excluyente e … More La nostalgia autoritaria
In which I experience life as I did in graduate school and early assistant professordom.
15/08/2012
It again seems to me that work is easier to do than the other things one does in life, and that of work activities, the easiest is research. In graduate school the easiest research activity was writing, but at the moment I find it to be reading. Reading has become easier because I know more, … More In which I experience life as I did in graduate school and early assistant professordom.
States of Barbarity
07/08/2012
If 54-year-old Marvin Wilson is put to death on Tuesday, it will not be because Texas denies that he is intellectually disabled, or as the legal literature puts it, “mentally retarded.” This much, the state recognizes. It just does not believe that Wilson is disabled enough not to be executed in Texas—a flagrant violation of … More States of Barbarity
El espejo paraguayo
29/07/2012
Medio siglo de movimiento campesino, el principal movimiento antisistémico del Paraguay, muestra que no hay atajos que puedan sustituir el conflicto de clases. Que la presión internacional por sí sola no puede modificar la relación de fuerzas. Que hay varios tipos de derrotas. Que la derrota por represión no es tan destructiva como la institucionalización. … More El espejo paraguayo
Plantation Nation
29/07/2012
Our police are being given paramilitary training and powers that are completely out of line with their duty to serve and protect, but much more in keeping with a mission to subdue and suppress. That is only a small part of what the Northern Gaijin has to say in his important post, but it is … More Plantation Nation
Cine mexicano sobre el 1968 … and its relation to the present moment.
29/07/2012
Here is Canoa, complete. Here is the first part of Rojo Amanecer, which may be the saddest film I have ever seen. People who think state terrorism might be all right sometimes, especially to keep them “safe,” should see this film as well. Here is some discussion of what went on at Tlatelolco on 2 … More Cine mexicano sobre el 1968 … and its relation to the present moment.
