MLA 2016

The abstract. Reading Vallejo against the grain of identity Taking as its point of departure not only the poetic subject in Vallejo as primordially fractured but the intimations in his prose works that like his contemporary Borges (“La nadería de la personalidad,” 1925) he eschewed the idea of a unified self, this presesentation will interrogate … More MLA 2016
Things you could not do in Spanish classes before the Internet
05/02/2015
Derrotero. He advertido que en general la aquiescencia concedida por el hombre en situación de leyente a un riguroso eslabonamiento dialéctico, no es más que una holgazana incapacidad para tantear las pruebas que el escritor aduce y una borrosa confianza en la honradez del mismo. Pero una vez cerrado el volumen y dispersada la lectura, … More Things you could not do in Spanish classes before the Internet
Communist activity: black radical texts
04/02/2015
This is a preliminary PDF, released for reading groups in Oakland and elsewhere, and not wide-release (the final version of the reader). It was a joint project of the Communist Research Cluster and Viewpoint Magazine. It is the rough draft of what will become volume 2 of the CRC series “Communist Interventions.” The first volume, … More Communist activity: black radical texts
Dieci anni
03/02/2015
An old student came by; it had been ten years. She said our workplace is a sad one, that many traumatic events have taken place, but that I look the same as ever and seem happy. I changed her life, she said, by convincing her she could do the professional things she did not think … More Dieci anni
A flash I had
03/02/2015
…about the introjected torturer. About the feeling of being imprisoned. You must go back in your box, back in your cage. The way I dissociate ever so slightly with this. Important: who has imprisoned me? I do not think it is the university. I think it is family and friends who imprisoned me here after … More A flash I had
La nadería de la personalidad
03/02/2015
Intencionario. Quiero abatir la excepcional preeminencia que hoy suele adjudicarse al yo: empeño a cuya realización me espolea una certidumbre firmísima, y no el capricho de ejecutar una zalagarda ideológica o atolondrada travesura del intelecto. Pienso probar que la personalidad es una trasoñación, consentida por el engreimiento y el hábito, mas sin estribaderos metafísicos ni … More La nadería de la personalidad
Postscript on fine arts
01/02/2015
I would of course love to do a BFA in plastic arts, painting, ceramics, sculpture especially (I would never have known that had I not tried it, I did not like sculpture to look at, very much, until I had a sculpture assignment and to my surprise, really liked it). I would also like to … More Postscript on fine arts
On Language Log
01/02/2015
First, do you think Language Log is incredibly pedantic and literal minded to feel as they do about Orwell and about The elements of style, or am I simply not modern and/or not doctrinaire enough as a leftist? I really want to know. Second, I submitted to Ibbetson Street but not Slipstream. And that is … More On Language Log
Carl Djerassi
01/02/2015
Carl Djerassi died today. Look at his life and look at this — artist residencies we must be selected for. I think it is interesting how he allowed himself to do so many things in life. I identify. We were not supposed to do so many things because we were not considered talented enough and also … More Carl Djerassi
