Peace to Fredric Jameson (1934 – 2024) pastandfuturepresents.blogsp…
RIP Fredric Jameson!
Legendary Marxist critic Fredric Jameson (1934-2024) spent his life and career committed to socialist ideas.
In Jacobin last year, Jameson, argued that socialists today can revive utopian ideals by showing that change is, in fact, possible. jacobin.com/2023/01/frederic…

I've been thinking about how many people, myself included, responded to Tracy Chapman's performance last night by crying. Why did we cry? What were we crying for? I'll answer my own question below, but I'm curious to hear why other people cried. 1/6

Devastating report on the mass destruction of buildings and landscapes in Gaza wrought by Israeli military. Greenhouses, mosques, schools, residential buildings, markets, bakeries, cemeteries, stadium, entire neighborhoods, farmland... This is urbicide. theguardian.com/world/ng-int…

Gracias al trabajo de @cuenteropy, un cuentero que conocí gracias al gran trabajo de @AngelaArboledaJ en Guayaquil. Marco me hizo una serie de preguntas para entender lo que estamos pasando en esta ciudad a la que algún día quisiera regresar por la vida que vio. ¿Será posible?

Yesterday I was trying to explain the dialectic to my undergrads & I think the example that actually worked was that breaking up w your boyfriend and getting back together (negation of negation) is not the same as having never broken up (the identity of identity and nonidentity)
