![]() ![]() ![]() At the same time many of these great estates were being landscaped in the contemporary fashion and the landscape architects were able to crown their grand designs with some sort of eyecatcher for the mansion - a folly, in fact - 'to give a livelier consequence to the landscape'. However, many follies were built in the eighteenth century when great landowners, after their Grand Tour of Europe, returned to their estates with visions of putting up romantic ruins to satisfy a yearning for the past. Some are inspiring monuments, erected in the builder's lifetime to ensure that his memory is perpetuated, but others express a deep religious conviction. ![]() Some are on hilltops or in remote place, while others, almost unnoticed, stand beside the roadside. Whitelaw defines what a folly is and shows that these architectural curiosities are to be found all over England. ![]() ![]() ![]() In that post, Thompson describes a recently published astronomy paper: The blog post is only available in the Archive now, and the translation isn’t available online except as a photograph which is a broken image in that blog post, so I’ve transcribed it here so I’ve got it to come back to. ![]() Except this, a fragment of the Midnight Poem, and in particular this translation by Mary Barnard, which was the subject of a blog post by Clive Thompson from 2016 (that link to Internet Archive): In a mere eight lines, she paints the melancholy of middle age onto the canvas of the night sky. I don’t know much - really anything - by or about Sappho. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some scholars consider it to be a form of xenophobia or racism, some consider Islamophobia and racism to be closely related or partially overlapping phenomena, while others dispute any relationship primarily on the grounds that religion is not a race. ![]() The scope and precise definition of the term Islamophobia, is the subject of debate. Islamophobia is the fear of, hatred of, or prejudice against the religion of Islam or Muslims in general, especially when seen as a geopolitical force or a source of terrorism. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this way the institutions of society favor certain starting places over others. ![]() “The intuitive notion here is that this structure contains various social positions and that men born into different positions have different expectations of life determined, in part, by the political system as well as by economic and social circumstances.But there is no necessity for men to resign themselves to these contingencies.” The basic structure of these societies incorporates the arbitrariness found in nature. Aristocratic and caste societies are unjust because they make these contingencies the ascriptive basis for belonging to more or less enclosed and privileged social classes. What is just and unjust is the way that institutions deal with these facts. “ The natural distribution is neither just nor unjust nor is it unjust that persons are born into society at some particular position.This structure favors some starting places over others in the division of the benefits of social cooperation.” ![]() The reason for this is that its effects are so profound and pervasive, and present from birth. “ The primary subject of justice is the basic structure of society.“ Each person finds himself placed at birth in some particular position in some particular society, and the nature of this position materially affects his life prospects.” ![]() ![]() We don’t meet our heroic assassins until nearly a third of the way in, though, because, in keeping with Binet’s policy of writerly disclosure, he must first depict the book’s genesis in his own life. The title stands for Himmlers Hirn heisst Heydrich-Himmler’s brain is called Heydrich-an SS saying derived from the fact that, explains Binet, “in the devilish duo he forms with Himmler, he is thought to be the brains.” The gamble paid off handsomely: HHhH won the Prix Goncourt du Premier Roman and, in its impressive translation from the French by Sam Taylor, has attracted widespread exuberant praise.īinet’s ostensible subject is the heroic and undersung mission of two commandos, a Slovak and a Czech, sent by the British to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich, the high-ranking Nazi who ruled German-occupied Bohemia and Moravia and masterminded the Final Solution. Rather than conceal his book’s nuts and bolts and assume absolute authority over the facts of his story, Binet has laid bare his laborious process: challenges with research, creative dilemmas, competitive anxieties, and all. ![]() ![]() Laurent Binet took an unusual gamble when composing his debut novel HHhH, a unique blend of WWII history, personal memoir and postmodern experimentation. ![]() ![]() ![]() Before launching into the story of A Tribe Called Quest, Abdurraqib relates a brief history of African and African-American music: "In the beginning, somewhere south of anywhere I come from, lips pressed the edge of a horn…In the beginning before the beginning, there were drums, and hymns, and a people carried here." In his phrasing of the migration of African music, Abdurraqib reminds readers that the vibrant evolution of blues, jazz, and hip-hop in America is ultimately rooted in one of history's greatest atrocities: slavery. ![]() Abdurraqib also includes elements of autobiography and social critique, billing the book as a "love letter to a group, a sound, and an era." The book’s title comes from a song on A Tribe Called Quest's 1990 debut album, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm. In his non-fiction book Go Ahead in the Rain: Notes to a Tribe Called Quest (2019), American poet and cultural critic Hanif Abdurraqib offers a critical analysis and history of the American hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The conflicts within feminist movement are apparent but do not clearly reflect generational lines. Indeed, the Trump administration has re-ignited feminist activism and, in this moment of solidarity against a common foe, current feminist resistance draws on the experience and involvement of feminists of all ages, as seen in The Women’s March, the Indivisible Movement, the SisterSong Collective, and smaller grassroots groups such as GRR! Grandmothers for Reproductive Rights. Events of the early twenty-first century reveal that the concept of a third wave may not stand the test of time and, in fact, despite the efforts of stalwart defenders such as Alison Piepmeier, only “dramatizes differences” that do not exist between feminists. My frustration may not have been wholly misplaced. Instead, my concerns over the ideological reshaping of twenty-first century reproductive lives gravitated towards my dissatisfaction with so-called third wave feminism and its practitioners’ uncritical celebration of “choice.” At the time when I wrote “Third Wave Feminism and the Politics of Motherhood,” I lacked a critical frame for understanding neoliberalism. ![]() ![]() ![]() Things were good in the beginning, though, or so I thought. Regardless, I can’t keep up this charade anymore and I can’t pretend that things will ever be other than they are now – and things are not good. Oh Nicholas, I hate so much to say this, but I have to be honest – we have to break up! It’s not you – it’s me… Er, actually no, really, it’s you, after all. I owe you that much (but not enough to actually tell you this in person, or on the phone). ![]() Since I can’t bear to think about any of it for more than a minute without falling into a nostalgic regret-tinged swoon over what might have been (had not semi-tragic circumstances not conspired to keep us apart), I’ll get to the point. I’ve been sitting here staring at this blank screen for the last two hours, sighing wistfully to myself through dewy eyes, wondering how I’m ever going to write all this, everything I’m feeling about our semi-torrid summer romance. ![]() ![]() Rao received her BA, with honors, from the University of Chicago, and her Ph.D. ![]() She served as Senior Editor, Comparative Studies in South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East from 2012-2021 and was involved in bringing the journal to be housed at Barnard and Columbia and in developing its distinctive vision and focus together with Professor Timothy Mitchell.
