I still remember one of his first films. It was about Don Quijote (Honor of the Knights, 2006). The audience at the Torino Film Festival was literally shocked.

I am glad he’s developed more nuanced approaches to express complexity of the topic.

Parece que las lecturas de la escuela de posgrado les marcaron un tope y ahí siguen con la misma visión del mundo, 25 años después.

Y es además el patrón de la nación: Santiago Matamoros.
Se le celebra con fastos militares.
Cuando cruzó el Atlantico durante el periodo colonial, viró su nombre a Santiago Mataindios.
Los pogromos y la limpieza étnica están íntimamente relacionados con la historia de este país.

Algo similar le pasó a Italo Calvino, hijo de migrantes italianos en Cuba, y le pusieron el nombre de la tierra que dejaron atrás.

Hola Joaquín! Fue un gustazo conocerte en persona. No uso mucho esta app (soy más usuario de Mastodon) pero igual te sigo de vuelta.
Ojalá podamos coincidir de nuevo en el futuro.

WKCR 89.9FM NY Missed the opportunity to donate during our fundraising drive? Buy a t-shirt or sweatshirt to support the station and rep WKCR!

My god, everyone in higher education should be listening to WKCR, Columbia University’s non-commercial student-run radio station, their field team is reporting live. These student reporters are so courageous, documenting NYPD aggression against students, listen here:

It is interesting, demoralizing, yet not surprising to witness the brain drain of excellent university scholars and teachers from US states with regressive and fascist education policies for positions in US states that respect academic freedom.

Get unis to pay for more librarians to assist students in learning the pragmatics of research. Get unis to invest in actual books. Invest in more tenure track lines & TAs so I'm not solely responsible for teaching history to a room of 50 students who have never been exposed to shit pre-1500.

I am watching police officers assault professors and students at Emory, snipers lining up on the roofs at IU and Ohio State. My academic colleagues: There is no excuse for staying silent. State violence & threats of violence against nonviolent protestors are unacceptable. Period.

Columbia's president, Minouche Shafik, has given protesting students until midnight to agree to a plan to dismantle their encampment. I fear another series of big errors.
