Was asked to interview for a western media outlet and they were like "and has the impeachment vote awakened the women into political consciousness" and I was like ??? Women have always been the FOREFRONT of protest in Korea: Yoo Gwan Soon, stroller-pushing mothers in 2008, Ewha Women's Uni in 2016??
Do apply if you are an ECR and have work in progress or need the discipline of a deadline (as i certainly do!). Adam has kindly run for the last few years. I've always found it super helpful to progress my research/writing and to clarify my ideas.
This made me so angry that I read the entire article and actually I do not understand how AI helped at all, everyone seems to be doing more work to help the robot than it would take just to have humans teach and edit a textbook and everything else. Also I hate it so much did I say that
HERALD OF A RESTLESS WORLD: How Henri Bergson Brought Philosophy to the People Emily Herring In the early 20th century, the French philosopher Henri Bergson enjoyed a cult following on both sides of the Atlantic as a result of his romantic theory of time and his arguments in favor of intuition over intellect. Herring’s vivid, graceful biography tries to explain what all the fuss was about, and why Bergson’s fame vanished almost as suddenly as it had appeared. “Lively and deft. … His cult withered after World War I. Herring cites a Bergson scholar’s observation that he had become a reminder of an age that people wanted to forget.” From Anthony Gottlieb’s review

www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
Where are my Victorianists working on writing about/inspired by their own families, especially public-facing writing? Who is writing memoirs, family history, or doing scholarly/public crossover work that centers the personal and family? Please tell me about your projects & if you'd be up for a chat!

Zarena Aslami @zda.bsky.social and I are happy to launch our INFRASTRUCTURE special issue of Victorian Literature and Culture! Our brilliant authors analyze canals and railways and standpipes and pensions and photography and stagecoaches and waste and vampires. And more! 1/
Jungah Kim @thekoreanvictorian.bsky.social writes about Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre and Patricia Park’s Re Jane. 6/
I'm calling it: this brilliant piece is the Reading the Romance of our time.
"Attention to the rituals of recommendation on BookTok suggests we understand BookTok above all as a place where literary criticism — of a particular kind — is currently thriving."
The amount of, or lack of, Anne Brontë's letters and diary entries is appalling. It's never known for a fact, but it's usually deduced that Charlotte burned them all. I can't help but groan each time I'm looking for something and it all ends to me tracing Charlotte or Emily‘s letters or diaries.
Does anyone have suggestions on where to look for sources on Victorian handwriting? I am trying to analyze Anne Brontë's handwriting in her letters.
