In a year when a lot of confusion is floating about #foucault, this will help.
#foucault 1/4

The 3 errors in Anglophone reading of #Foucault
1. The French context of historiography
2. Misunderstanding #Foucault's resistance to the French Communist Party as anti-#marxism
3. Misunderstanding #Foucault's commitment to left activism.

#Halloween marks the anniversary of Europe's first act of ethnic cleansing.

With the 1290 Edict of Expulsion, Edward I banished all Jews (roughly 3000) from England in return for Parliament's permission to raise a tax of £116,000 – the largest single tax of the Middle Ages.
1/
Not until Cromwell in 1656 were Jews allowed to return to England.

The Edict only had force in England. Scotland being free from English State repression.
2/
The Archbishop of Canterbury issued a formal "act of repentance", on the 800th anniversary of the Synod of Oxford in 1222, which passed a set of laws that restricted Jews' rights to engage with Christians in England.

In memory of #kristalnacht, a short thread on #heidelberg's nazi-era history, tourist charm, and the righteous need for academic boycotts.

Remember folks, "every document of culture is a document of barbarism."

Every tourist to #Heidelberg sees the New University Building in University Square.

I gave my @CAPASHeidelberg lecture here last year, as does every other fellow, in a lecture hall named for American alumni.
But few know it’s dark #nazi history.

This is a thread about #heidelberg history, which typically combines the commemorative of progressive politics against the city's spießig (petit bourgeois meanness) history.
Trattoria Toscana stands at Marktplatz 1.
@CAPASHeidelberg folks often eat here after our lectures.

In the 19th century, this was the location of the Schwanen-Apotheke (not to be confused with the contemporary Schwan Apotheke on Hauptstr).

More than just a drug store, it was a pharmaceutical institute, an independent site of scientific discovery.
2/
The Schwan-Apotheke was created by Georg Friedrich Walz (1813-62).

Walz was an ardent socialist and had participated in the failed Revolution of 1848.

In my last days in #Heidelberg, seeing what needs to be seen.

Holocaust center for Sinti and Roma. Image
The Nazis made no Dustin ction between Jews and Roma.

shortly before I leave Heidelberg, I made it up into the Honor Cemetery, a Nazi project in 1934 where WWI soldiers were exhumed and moved into a new ceremonial space.

The photos don't adequately convey the monumental landscaping, where the eye is drawn to a stone plinth and then beyond. Image

I want to commemorate Kenneth Jacobson, who recently passed at 92.
Like many I knew Ken from @actupny, where he calmly chaired the tempestuous Treatment & Data committee during my time.
Ken's in the black jacket here;
1/
ACT UP was one of the rare American organisations where people didn't ask immediately what your "profession" was, so many were unaware that Ken was an accomplished composer, including a song that Sinatra choose for his standard book: "Golden Moment"

2/
There's been no obituary for Ken, but here's an oral interview from his undergrad @ColbyCollege

It's painful, though to me that even as late as 2010, Ken was asked (and graciously let pass by) questions like this:
