The transnationalization of the Black condition was a constitutive moment for modernity, with the Atlantic serving as its incubator. After Independence, a class of Creole Whites asserted and consolidated their influence. Oldquestions of heterogeneity, difference, and liberty were once again posed, with new elites using the ideology of mestizaje to deny and disqualify the racial … More Reading Mbembe
Moro: planned the translation and translated two lines. Learned about Aldo Pellegrini. Tried to contact Marco Rivera for a joint reading at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts. I could invite him to NOPF, and Guillermo Parra. I must get in touch with Jesús. And I should write the Moro article. LASA 2026: worked … More What I did today
Orwell, George, Animal Farm. I wanted to reread this, although it is very depressing. Perhaps I didn’t like the format of this edition, the pages were quite narrow. But mostly I cannot reread this because I cannot handle animal stories, they are always too sad. Granados, Pedro, Inkarrí. All right, I had bought this to … More Books destroyed in a small flood
I want this book but it is very expensive. Also, I never doubted Trilce was a dadaist book. Anyway, the author is doing other interesting work as well. Apparently Vallejo’s grandmothers weren’t full-blooded Chimú, they were mestizas, and Larrea might not have been accurate on those gallego priests he allegedly had as grandfathers, either. Axé.
Now I will read some articles from Social Discourse, a journal issue I have been carrying around and not reading since 1989. It was my contention that writers of the teens and twenties were saying interesting things about subjectivity way before Foucault and others got into it, and we know this since the later 20th … More Sobre el sujeto…toward Moro and LASA
I must read this book and the university even has it, in paper and e-versions. Among other things, it will explain more about the contradictory nature of all these post-imperial nation-states. Axé.
You should really know this site. They have everything: a hijacked journal tracker, retractions by Nobel Prize winners, and much more. You also should know this article against the use of AI for writing, it is important and very intelligent. Axé.
But so good. I have had some wonderful times in academia, actually. Actually, I have to keep this Kubayanda manuscript because I don’t think he ever published it, and it’s important. Axé.
Imperio restaurativo is the ideology the elites of the Spanish state articulate to resolve the crises they generate. It proposes that the state as an institution is the solution to these crises, because it can restore us to a former condition – an imperial one. So we promote a political fantasy of constant and open … More España postimperial
“El gran Marcelo Bielsa dejó explicado que no hay nada peor que el éxito de un mal ejemplo: no hay problema si un buen proceso fracasa, porque es algo habitual; el problema aparece cuando un proceso mal planteado es exitoso y lanza el mensaje de que un atajo puede llevarte a un buen lugar. Porque … More Paraguayan Radio
