Another photocopied book hits the recycling bin and I haven’t even checked to see in what e-format it is available, I’m sure it is and I think, somewhere, I actually have it as a book now. I have to get rid of more books, too, so as to KNOW for sure what I have as … More Transculturación narrativa en América Latina
Here is the Jean Franco article. It is in another photocopied book I recycled, and that is good, and that was part of my identity, and that I should reread. The object itself was hard to let go, but the text is available, as you can see. Axé.
There is wonderful information in this book but I don’t want to read a photocopy and I am too traumatized by the author to read it, anyway. It is not that easy to get, but they have it at Tulane and one could go and read at it there. Also, I think seeing it online, … More Las escuelas argentinas de vanguardia
This is an important book and I photocopied it long ago, because I had that paper on soap operas (that I’d still like to do something with). I never read it, and now I’ve decided to recycle it since it’s available as a Real Book, which I prefer. I’m depressed and I have been so … More Sarlo: el imperio de los sentimientos
I was going to recycle this clean and complete photocopy but there isn’t a good online edition and the book isn’t easily available elsewhere. I love the author, Roberto Schwarz. I did not realize the title comes form a Kafka story, or that Diderot has a play by this title (that I should read). In … More O pai de família e outros estudos
“It does seem to make some pointed analyses of contemporary culture. I’d say teach it, along with something like Propaganda: The Formation of Men’s Attitudes by Jacques Ellul or maybe something a little more recent by Chomsky. You could add another book or short selections by Neil Postman or more contemporary media theorists, and then … More Teaching los detectives salvajes
I put in a funding request for the speaker, and a room reservation request. As a result, I must now find and fill out five different forms (so far). I must also make parking and food/lunch arrangements, and make flyers and send them all around. There are numerous other bureaucratic tasks like this this week, … More A lovely new log
I saw this poem in The Nation and was impressed. This is the author and he’s not even from abroad, I thought he would be some fancy person from abroad but he’s U.S. and younger. I learned in that issue about an Egyptian poet, Iman Mersal. In the end that is why I still subscribe … More Hanif Abudurraquib
We have to get this book. I discovered it by procrastinating while trying to think about Bernal Díaz del Castillo, and it does have directly to do with Cortés, even though I did not find it through a search on him but while avoiding doing one. It’s synchronicity, serendipitous. I discovered it via this article. … More On Savage Shores
Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks are something I actually want to read. They fit my projects, too, but that is secondary. I’ve had a very interesting adventure with this book. I discovered a photocopy of part of it, made when it was new, in connection with an article on television and traditional narrative I should have finished. … More Prison Notebooks, and Michael Roemer
