Rebecca Seiferle’s TRILCE

This is a good translation. Mine had coffee spilled on it or something, and got warped, and I have just recycled it. But I might reacquire it. Axé.
Sidney Hook
13/12/2022
Towards the Understanding of Karl Marx is available, so it is no longer necessary to have an old and blurry photocopy of it, made after requesting it from Interlibrary Loan. But it’s a great text. “One cannot be orthodox at any price and a lover of the truth at the same time,” says author Sidney … More Sidney Hook

“They were trying to explain to me that this wasn’t gonna get better, because … this is how they operate in Louisiana,” says Walker, who is Black. You have no voice. Once you speak out like you do in California, you may come up dead, hurt or missing. People that I worked with actually thought … More I would love to find the source of this
Also cut

I thought I needed this–it is a more concise version of something from the other manuscript–but I cut it. Maybe I can use it, or use it to shorten the other manuscript. The ten chapters of Toward a Global Idea of Race are framed by three shorter pieces that throw into relief the racial dimension … More Also cut
LACES and More
10/12/2022
I was going to publish something in LACES, and I forgot. Perhaps I will. And there are other things to remember. I had a guest speaker in my Spanish 202. And my colleague said that the reason we should leave the university is that teaching is obstructed and there is no administrative support (I would … More LACES and More
Race, Discourse, and the Origin of the Americas
08/12/2022
It was a book I missed, and I still need it. That, as I knew, was the work I wanted to be doing at the time. Here is a review, with comments on Patricia Seed as well. Here is Sylvia Wynter’s piece. Here is another excluded sentence (from my review essay): In this sense Ferreira … More Race, Discourse, and the Origin of the Americas
Colonial Desire
07/12/2022
I have a photocopy of this book and it has always been something I should seriously read. It still is, even though it is old now. I forget that I have it because it is a photocopy. I’m going to get rid of the photocopy and probably buy the book, even though I do not … More Colonial Desire
Sentences for the next paper on Ferreira da Silva
06/12/2022
Sentences I did not use in text #2 That racialization does not only use a logic of exclusion, but one of obliteration is one of Homo Modernus’ central insights. Why characters of color are elaborated and then disappeared in the novela das oito of the 1980s was a motivating question for Ferreira da Silva early … More Sentences for the next paper on Ferreira da Silva
Mariátegui on Brandes
06/12/2022
Mariátegui wrote about Georg Brandes in a 1927 article that is included in El artista y la época. Brandes and his good friend Rilke had just died. Hays they [cara a Goethe y a Nietzche–what DOES “cara a” mean, really?] belong to the tribe of good Europeans. Brandes especially. His study of Ibsen was one … More Mariátegui on Brandes
El reino de este mundo
02/12/2022
See Ferreira da Silva 179-80 on Prospero and Caliban. Does this apply to the Reino de este mundo? To magical realism? That of course will have to be contrasted to what Coronil says about REM, which he likes. But still, I think this is very interesting. Axé.
