7 August. Worked on my text. I am up to 5500 words, which means I have 200 new words this week. Working on Spillers, old Patricia Hill Collins article. Was tired today due to the cat’s illness, did not do a great deal else, but notice that even with fatigue and everything I am not … More Le log du 7 août
Dependency theory and literary history: the case of Latin America
04/08/2023
Here is the text (from my library, it won’t work for you) as published in the Minnesota Review in 1975. I’ve downloaded it. I’ve been carrying around a paper copy of it as a NYU working paper for 48 years. It’s still fresh. There is a lot in it and I carried it around because … More Dependency theory and literary history: the case of Latin America

31 July. Did hair, discussed brow and eye dyeing, contacted dentist, talked to colleague about Spain, thought about AI, set up voicemail on phone. 1 August. Had stayed up too late, which meant a slow morning. I did a few necessary things. Cool was that I did open university e-mail and there is a home … More Le log du 1 août
Ortiz: Românticos e Folcloristas
30/07/2023
I’m going to recycle this photocopy although I shouldn’t, probably — it is about O Guaraní. Anyway, at least I will read or reread it first. The idea that B lacks an identity (and that the central countries have one) What are we? leads to the question what aren’t we? Nina Rodrigues wanted B to … More Ortiz: Românticos e Folcloristas
Holiday Presents
30/07/2023
I think now instead of buy things when they come up, I will get holiday presents, like Christmas and birthday presents. My current list, not necessarily all for the same year, follows. What I can get before then are stage makeup as I run out of it and urgently, a little powerbank / generator, like … More Holiday Presents

Log for the last week of July
25/07/2023
Monday: exhausted, slept late, and then it was the day of the disastrous communication with Dad’s bank’s lawyer and being on hold for 8 hours to finally get my non-functioning alarm system canceled (a long story). Went to the pool, felt better, and also got a few other practical things done, but then also stayed … More Log for the last week of July
Dissertations
25/07/2023
Mine was beautifully and easily written but under-researched. This was because professors were convinced we would have a fear of writing or not be able to write, and so insisted we just write something. It also had to do with the pressure they were under to produce degrees. Normative time had come in just recently. … More Dissertations
