I’ve already written them back but I wanted to send a postscript, and desisted. I had said: to focus more on coloniality/decoloniality I can’t JUST do Ferreira da Silva. And that I couldn’t see talking about these things without at least referring to Gilmore’s work. I didn’t say, but am now thinking, hm, maybe I … More World’s fattest revision request
14 August. Got hold of Ruffinelli book. 15 August. Got some study abroad things done. 16 August. More study abroad. And some bureaucratic progress. I am behind but the main thing is, I am feeling all right. I have to keep feeling all right and not do anything self-destructive. 17-21 August. From the list below, … More Le log du 14 août

I am recycling my paper copy because I have this issue (like all others) available online. I must remember its existence, though. Axé.
