🍑 "The peach in Bong Joon-ho's PARASITE and Luca Guadagnino's CALL ME BY YOUR NAME is used to conjure distinct yet related symbols of infectious disease and menacing sexuality. In this essay I will..." ImageImage
Teaching PARASITE next week for the first time and it's a joy to use this movie to talk about so many things bc Image
I find the brief moments when it breaks into English so jarring—thinking about why they are dispatched when and how they are
When the mistress of the house says “I’m deadly serious” in PARASITE in English, I feel like I’ve been exposed as a lurking American voyeur—a feeling not unlike when the killer looks right into the binoculars of Jimmy Stewart in REAR WINDOW (and into the camera and into our eyes)
While limited by my inability to understand Korean, I'm fascinated in this viewing of PARASITE how many of the cons are facilitated by English language and/or the US—the help agency is called "The Care," their con names as Kevin & Jessica, the "Indian" stuff is from the US... Image

No, I am not tenured. How will I account for yesterday and today and tomorrow? Will our board forgive me when I go up and let me stick around? Doesn’t matter. This is the job: to speak about important matters. And protecting our students is the only thing that matters right now.
We must speak against the genocide. We must speak about the state and corporate suppression of free speech on our campuses. And we must backup our brilliant, brave, creative and wonderful students—putting our bodies between them and uni admin or cops if we must.
This is the job. It has been disappointing, but not surprising, to see how few tenured profs show up and speak up compared to untenured and contingent faculty, grad student workers, librarians and staff. But many GOT tenure BECAUSE unis reward silence in moments like these.

Wrapping up my first shift as an EJP faculty support for the Northwestern Gaza Solidarity encampment. An exciting day, and I’ve never felt more connected with my students. Heading home before my shift tomorrow, but first, let me share some things about the camp. Students and tents on a lawn
The camp is a sight of music, political education, mutual aid and sign making. The students are experimenting with how to teach, feed each other, make art and organize together.


Guitar
Pamplers
Watwr and food
Free palestine signs
The students are learning about POWER — both literal and political—and how to generate, wield, understand and distribute it. A generatir

As night falls and waking up at 5 AM, flying to New York and 8 hours of street reporting non-stop catches up with me, I am about to leave this party and let these young ppl who welcomed me into their space carry on. But first, some final thoughts… Full yard at columbia
First, THIS is what university life should be! I saw and experienced some extraordinary things: running into old friends, having substantive conversations with students (from here and even Northwestern/Medill), learned from students, learned in teach ins....But most of all...
Most of all, I saw students experiment w making a society: they are experimenting w self governance, and with educating, entertaining, praying with, feeding, defending, organizing and caring for one another. How beautiful is that?! Students on the lawn

1. PHEW. I am overwhelmed seeing all the photos in Pulitzer Hall at @columbiajourn of all the Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza and Lebanon Image
2. Can’t even see them all in one photo photos in Pulitzer Hall at @columbiajourn of all the Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza and Lebanon
Well, the universe provides: ran into @MedillSchool alum @yasmeenaltaji, who is studying at Columbia and who created this beautiful memorial to killed Palestinian journalists with The Arab and Middle Eastern

A side note to the Berkeley law dinner fiasco: Professors shouldn't have work events with students in their homes!!!
This is a problem which extends beyond this situation. "Chemerinsky, who is Jewish, says that the incident is the latest in antisemitic attacks on him and that free speech does not extend to his home." OK, then don't have work events in your house! latimes.com/california/sto…
This is all so bizarre to me. UC Berkeley is a public university & this was a UC Berkeley event! Yet the professor is arguing the mortgage is in his & his wife's names & "No one has the right to come into my house, or yours, and disrupt a dinner." HE INVITED THE PERSON WHO SPOKE! Image

Cheap rent made Philip Glass possible too, who told me in 2012: “The problem is, when I came to New York, it’s much more difficult now. You could work 3 days a wk loading a truck or driving a cab, and you’d have enough money to live off of" the other 3+ weeks to do your art!
“Work," Glass said, "was a seasonal business! Can you imagine??? "You worked the weekends around the first of the month. And then you had the middle of the month to do your sculpture or your painting or your poetry or whatever you do." Cheap rent made that possible!
Manual labor, Glass said, was great—they didn't even own a van! No pressure, even for parking! "You were in great shape. You were physically very strong bc it was hard work but easy. Hard work but easy to do. Didn't take any brainpower & you didn't have to go to work every day." "So it was a great job for an artist. We would put ads in the paper, and we'd rent a van from U-Haul or whoever. We just rented a van; we didn't even own one," Glass says, laughing. "We didn't even have to park it! You just brought it back to the place at the end of the day! It was a great job. No overhead! And if you knew the city and were willing to climb five or six flights of stairs, carrying books and beds and lamps ... you were in great shape. You were physically very strong because it was hard work but easy. Hard work but easy to do. Didn't take any brainpower, and you...
