Wasn’t it Unzueta who invented this term? Where can I find it? I’ve lost the reference. Axé.
On Difference
08/11/2022
Gordon, Linda. “On ‘Difference’.” Genders, no. 10, Spring 1991, pp. 91-[I am missing the last pages]. This is a really good article and I think I remember it well enough to recycle it. There are a lot of things from the 90s that seem to be coming into fashion again, including questions raised, or addressed … More On Difference

5-6. I got rid of this reference: Hall, Stuart. “Cultural Identity and Cinematic Representation.” Framework: The Journal of Cinema and Media 36 (1989): 68-81. I did not actually cite it. But I like this text, it is evidently one of my favorite ones since I assumed I had cited it or would do. I got … More Log November 5-20

28. Nothing. Campus visitor, though, and some discussion of topic.29, 30. Grinding. Polishing, working slowly on bibliography and notes, finding and fixing errors.

Vallejo excursus
10/10/2022
I’m writing something else but want to have Vallejo footnotes. They’re distracting, poorly researched and poorly written, but I’ll put one here.
