Started the day with giving a seminar on the topic of Script & Digital Poetry — and discussing all things aesthetics, materiality, kinetic and static script as well as motifs of digital/analog memory writing processes in poetry film — a pleasure!
Thank you to Dr. Esther Kilchmann for inviting me!

P.S.: Meine Kollegin und ich singen übrigens auch manchmal.

Amanda Shanor, a UPenn professor and leading scholar on academic freedom, offered this apt quote in the NYTimes yesterday: The history of creating lists of Jewish people for the government is one of the most frightening in world history. And the idea that this is being done in the interest of the Jewish community is particularly frightening.
Do you think colleges making lists of Jews on a campus, at DJT's request, is a scary idea?
Please sign this petition, organized by Jewish profs at Penn, standing against Penn handing over lists of Jewish faculty or students!

I’m also very happy to have contributed one chapter on "Cultural Memory Studies" – with a focus on transcultural poetry – and another on "Audiovisual Poetry", the latter which I had the pleasure to co-write with @antjeschmidt.bsky.social – joining the many other insightful pieces in the Handbook!

Viele haben gestern einmal mehr versucht ein Datum; ein Ereignis für ihre aktuellen und ideologischen Zwecke zu missbrauchen. Diese Versuche erfolgten von allen Seiten aus und teilweise sogar „innerhalb“ gegeneinander.
Vielen Dank all jenen, die darauf verzichtetet haben!

I dag bråkar jag om AI, akademiskt skrivande och hantverksskicklighet. Framför allt gör jag ett försök att koppla samman AI-frågan här och nu med en sedan länge existerande andlig robotisering i universitetsvärlden, en robotisering som föregriper de stora språkmodellernas utbredning.

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/
“East End Jews presents a range of writers... Some might be known to students of British Jewish history, and others obscure even to them... Among the contributors are six women, who seem, if the collection is any indication, to have occupied a more prominent place in the field in its later years.”

Visited Bucerius Law School on Wednesday to see Eva Illouz and Natan Sznaider in a thought-provoking and very direct conversation on October 7th, its aftermath, (lack of) compassion, antisemitism, and the discourse on Israel and Palestine in the humanities since the 1960s.

My very warmest thank you to the team as well as our fellows and everyone involved!
It is very hard to summarise three years into one post but I have learnt so much from our collaboration and exchange – I certainly take everything with me to the next chapter and am so excited for what's to come🧚♀️
Today is officially my last day in Poetry in the Digital Age (@poetryda.bsky.social)💜
Being part of the project for the last 3 years and having the opportunity to research Jewish 3G poetry and poetry film in such a focused way within its frames has been immensely rewarding and a great privilege!
