I'm at a conference concerning "Political Ecologies of the Far Right" in Lund, Sweden this weekend - follow along at #pefr and keynote videos streamed here m.youtube.com/channel/UCrFv8…
for folks here in Lund, I'll be giving a talk on eco-fascism and settler empire on Sunday 10AM !
the whole point of this tweet was to do the hashtag which was on the screen and i got it wrong 🤦‍♂️#pefr2019

just don't think any of this works like this! Image
mobilizing affects is an indicator of populist strategy now, unlike famously cold and emotionless class struggle Image

any good articles tracing the early 2000s backlash against dependency / world-systems analysis? how central was the Mignolo critique? was it just general academic exhaustion w marxist / third worldist approaches?
for some reason, i remembered that bad dsa guy doing a "really? we're doing dependency theory again? that was refuted 20 years ago" or whatever. and just generally thinking back to what i read and didn't read in my comps. just feels bizarre.
i guess there's hardt and negri too. and this is more specific to my own experience...and there's so much wrong with the anglophone d&g lit and reception...but a very strange thing is that samir amin is basically never assigned as mandatory reading? but probably should be?

just uploaded a prepub version of my forthcoming article examining 2014 debates surrounding climate populism. excited to have this one out there in full soon!

researchgate.net/publication/33…
it does 2 things: 1/ begins to work out a genre theory of populism (building on hall + berlant) showing how this differs from Gramscian critics (in part interesting bc gramsci's name was often invoked in the 2014 debates around the PCM)
2/ shows how this "generic" view can help us understand "left populism" as a wider field of contestation among various political tendencies in the north american climate movement. supporters and critics of populism alike don't always attend to these divergences.

36/4300 is a pretty low percent positive, which is good. still - that's a number greater than zero, and i would prefer zero.

not sure what the timeframe on this is (a week? a couple days?) but Richmond has only been averaging ~20-30 cases per day.

i was surprised to see the quote that they're working on a "dashboard," but that's good news too. transparency will be real important to pushing for accountability if/when (please not when) an outbreak happens
difficult to confirm without more info, but it appears that this is a much lower percentage positive than aggregate central Virginia data. this is also good - it means that they're testing more people than just those who have symptoms, and we have a better idea of the prevalence.

trying to figure something out with columns like this - and what appears to be a festering frustration at students seemingly behaving in unsafe ways. while not dismissing that parties are happening, doesn't this moralizing let uni admins off the hook?

nytimes.com/2020/08/18/us/…
fed gov won't take responsibility for protecting people, defers to states to do so (sort of). but states won't/can't do it, defer to institutions like school boards and unis to make decisions. unis make decisions, then defer responsibility on to individuals. just passing the buck
no one should be going to parties right now, especially students just returning to campus from across the country

but also: unis should not have put students in this position by *making the decision* to invite them back to campus for classes from across the country!

have you ever read an academic article where the author says "i know I'm not saying anything new..."? like just straight up acknowledging there's a massive load of thought out there and we are all just arranging it differently?
the compulsion to state one's "newness" leads to two of the standard critiques of any academic article/book: "this isn't new, somebody else did it" and "you didn't cite X." both can be legitimate critiques but are exacerbated by the compulsion to claim a grandiose contribution
there are ppl who really do produce new concepts and ways of thinking. and they are incredible. i don't think i really do this, and i wonder if/when that will be ok? i like to produce new arrangements of old arguments that might help us consider them from a different angle.
