Tabuenca has written a great deal more, but all of it would have to come by interlibrary loan, so I am saving that reading for the next time I write on Anzaldúa. In another key, this is her interesting syllabus. * Then there is the Robert Irwin article (see 518-519 on Anzaldúa, and the discussion … More (María) Socorro Tabuenca (Córdoba)
Yesterday this illness I have had came upon me again and I wanted to go to sleep for the night at 7:17 PM. I said: you cannot do that, you must read at least one article and answer one e-mail, it won’t be too much. But it took me until after midnight to really read … More Le calvinisme et le travail
This is the key to my article “Language and the entrepreneurial university.” How did we get here without realizing it? I saw the signs of it in the 70s and then 80s, and I felt the change happening in the 90s and early 00s but did not understand it, although I had a couple of … More The neoliberal self

Algunos nombres: Elizabeth Acevedo (“The Poet X” se ha traducido al español), Gloria Anzaldúa, … More US Latinos writing in Spanish
And in fact I did little, but I did: Decide I have done enough research for this paper, even if there are blind spots in my work, and I will just write it up and that is it, the heck with everything. Definitively decide about my hedge: all I need for now are three Green … More Today I thought I did nothing
Inviting a consul can go beyond a reception. It can be a community event with the Consul and her or his staff speaking to students and faculty, the local business community, immigrant organizations, and so on. A Consul can explain international trade, education abroad opportunities, food, and cultural exchanges … give a great deal of … More That consular visit

If I think it should be a junior level course, it should be senior / early graduate. This one would be on monuments. Each monument studied would lead to the study of many related things, and one would study their processes of fetichization (I have not worked this out very well yet). Some of the … More Para una clase de cultura más avanzada
