1/ A shout out to seriously the most stunning article I have read perhaps ever - Erin Maglaque's in the December @Journalofmoder. I was one of the readers for this piece, and I even wrote in my report that it was such an intense read that I had to go for a walk afterwards to calm down.

I’ve had the pleasure to contribute to the last Mixtape of the @jwsfh.bsky.social by putting together 5 of my best reads of the year in Early Modern History.
Here is my list as well as the great ones by @jean23bean.bsky.social and Emily Marker !

Ghosts Behind Glass How museums display extinct species—and what these exhibits say about us.   While it’s no longer possible to encounter a dodo in the wild, we can still come face-to-face with them in museums. The rema...

Ghosts Behind Glass has been officially published by @uchicagopress.bsky.social!

If you are looking for an absolutely gorgeous book that tackles a deeply serious topic, this is a perfect choice. Would make a really thoughtful Christmas gift.

Book used as a collecting tool. Image is author's own.

Don't miss! 🌿 Pocket Books and Floating Libraries: Books as Collecting Tools in Instructions to Travelers. Anna Svensson will discuss how books haven’t just described the natural world, they’ve also helped collect it. Wed. 10 Dec, 15:00–16:00 CET Zoom link, email: instructingnaturalhistory@uu.se

This is how the NYT frames this? Is there no subject they won’t force into a “both sides” framework? If the FDA failed to provide proof, that failure should be evaluated on its own terms as a betrayal of the scientific processes that are supposed to guide FDA conclusions and recommendations.

What makes historic collections difficult? And how do researchers work with “difficult” collections?

And so how was it?

Newspaper lacks worthy topics amidst the instauration of fascism all over the world

Et no comment sur le choix de l'image qui accompagne l'entretien à @liberation.fr avec l'historien autoproclamé du féminicide, qui déverse sur les RS du corps féminin ouvert et sexualisé. Mais comme c'est de la cire du 18e, ca ne pose pas de problème, hein.

On voit que le débat avance bien.

Capture de l'article cité : "Cette traversée historique, agrémentée d'une écriture séduisante et enlevée, fait œuvre de vulgarisation, sans se laisser aller à une plate condamnation du sujet abordé"

Mais oui, toutes ces rabates-joies (à lire au féminin), qui se contentent de condamner platement les féminicides. Alors que nous, on voulait juste s'amuser un peu avec un style enlevé et une histoire un peu ludique !

It has been amazing to discover the municipal museum of Lagos (Portugal), and more specificall, their museum of slavery. They were pioneer in discussing it at a national level, and still their musseography is compelling
