die dissonanz in der wahrnehmung von sánchez inner- vs ausserhalb spaniens ist so ein faszinierendes phänomen, je beliebter er im ausland wird desto mehr wird er im eigenen land gehasst (ohne eine direkte kausalität implizieren zu wollen, gibt mehrere gründe warum das so ist, trotzdem interessant)

¿Queremos los republicanos realmente la República? El 14 de abril, deberíamos acordarnos de la vida y los vivos

Me propusieron en @publico.es una tribuna sobre la República para este 14 de abril y quise escribir algo que no fuera trillado, ni autocomplaciente. Hablo del republicanismo romántico y del fúnebre y de sueños que se disfrutan pero no se quieren cumplir.

Ich werde nie darüber hinwegkommen, wie gut dieses Gedicht ist, das Volker Braun 1990 geschrieben hat. Gerade wieder in Steffen Martus' Literaturgeschichte der Gegenwart darüber gelesen.

"This book could have been an article if long form journalism paid well" is a thing I frequently think when reading the opening chapters of contemporary splainy non-fiction.

every quantitative measure is actually a stack of qualitative assumptions in a trenchcoat

I am glad that people realize that Labour‘s electoral strategy is wrong but am surprised by the “are they delusional? how do they keep doing that? what happened?” We haven been arguing against this strategy for years. But resistance was huge among politicians, media, and many in academia.

Academic and research writers are often told to write accessibly. Rarely are we encouraged to write artistically.

Yet scholars like W.E.B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Karl Marx wrote about their data and theories as artists, using literary devices, humor, sarcasm, drama, poetry, and beauty.
