El interlocutor de Piedra de sol no es una mujer, ni la humanidad en abstracto, es el hombre de la modernidad, es el hombre urbano que pretende involucrarse en los asuntos de la polis y al que se le advierte “amar es combatir”. La otredad que es el cuerpo de la mujer en Piedra de sol se resuelve y … More Octavio Paz
As I clear out files, I find scraps of paper; the one I have just found had this title. It says that it is not a comment on writing or research, but on other aspects of work. It says that the amount of time I have to spend managing other peoples’ emotions about my degrees … More Ninety seconds of insight
The 19th century is so rich and strange. The wicked Wiki: George Alphonse Fleury Izambard (born December 11, 1848 in Paris[1]– February, 1931) was a French school teacher, best known as the teacher of poet Arthur Rimbaud. He taught at the Collège de Charleville in Charleville, where his nickname was “Zanzibar”.[2] On 4 May 1870, Rimbaud’s mother wrote to Izambard … More Je est un autre
White candles and an amulet would be what I need now. The candles I can get, and the amulet I should seriously acquire. I am told, intriguingly, that it is less stressful to say This Is Happening, so now what than No It Is Not. That, I can tell, is true. Yet more intriguingly, But … More C’est intéressant

There are many things here I do not take advantage of because of financial considerations — getting to them. No individual excursion is particularly expensive, but they mount up and I need more than I actually undertake. Life would be really different with a small amount of funding. Those working in the university’s centers of … More Pour considérer et faire
My psychological and academic suffering has much more to do with my specific department than I had realized. Usually I think the issues are what I bring with me and do not allow myself to see how much is structural. Also, the capitalistic idea that money does not buy happiness is false. Every time I … More Illuminations
♦Freedom as death struggle (Hegel); “death or liberty.” Haitian independence slogan, apparently: Vive la mort! (But it is also a mercenary slogan.) ♦THE VIOLENCE AT THE ORIGIN, ORIGINARY VIOLENCE. Which must then be forgotten. Sommer says these “foundational” texts are intended to heal originary violence but do they really work that way? ♦Should I call … More Collage
Thank you for all of your instruction and guidance in my education and my post graduation plans. While your classes at first intimidated me, the challenges they present have become a pleasure, and in the end, I find they have been defining of my time at Vichy State. Your attitude and expectations have always encouraged … More La psychanalyse du vendredi
