Depressing news

This piece by Hailey Maxwell on the People's Palace is great - "The managed decline and privatisation of cultural and civic heritage is entangled with the wilful disintegration of communal ways of living more generally."

For the Palestinian people, psychic life is just as much a site of struggle for liberation as social life. Palestinians are persistently refused psychological amplitude, characteristics easily granted to those who are never worried they might fall out of what is constituted as the category of the human. Abdaljawad Omar’s writings in English published since October 7, 2023 (as well as writings by other Palestinians, other Arabs, and those of Palestinian descent) offer means of understanding material resistance in relation to the terrain of the psyche. Omar offers distinctive accounts of mourning, loss, and ruins, as well as of how settler colonialism reorganizes experiences of time and relations between past, present, and future. The article reads Omar’s writings against other accounts of mourning and of psychic phenomena that are indebted to psychoanalysis. Omar’s analyses of Palestinians’ resistance to unfreedom and annihilation open up other ways of understanding the psychic vicissitudes of those who suffer, grieve, and struggle to exit a colonial condition characterized by the colonizer’s repeated attempts to break psychic worlds as well as erase bodily life. Understandings of psychic life that do justice to how Palestine is redrawing the world are central to the work of ‘cracking history open’.

I wrote on psychic life and Palestinian resistance

love to have the most awful and embarrassing MP imaginable

Wow sounds amazing - hope it gets commissioned!

lovely metaphor from Eric Hobsbawm describing how Francis Fukuyama revised his pronouncements about the 'end of history' between 1989 and 1992 - "the notorious thesis from which he now appears to retreat like an octopus amid clouds of his own ink" 🐙

Co-wrote an essay on ‘Innocence’ for this Special Issue

listening to a man on the train explain to his silent gf why one safdie brother is good and one safdie brother is bad at great length

nothing infuriates the average paid political commentator more than the fact that every 15 year old baby leftist doing earnestly naive posts about 'Amerikkka' at any point in the last 30 years has better analysis with a sounder grounding in the facts than they do.

“If there now seems to be a broad cultural consensus that everybody hurts, that everybody ‘has’ mental health – even men! – there is little agreement on where the misery comes from or how to make it stop.”
