Amazing—congratulations

everyone is talking about getting copies of University Keywords (or other JHU Press books) for all their friends, students, and comrades for the holidays, especially when it is 40% off with the code HHOL25.

Hi! will you be at the ASA conference this weekend? I am packing for San Juan and getting excited to talk to @lalouverouge.bsky.social and @downevent.bsky.social and @lintax.bsky.social about the idea of the child in late stage empire. Join us on Friday at 4:45 pm!

Epic

The Case for Child Liberation Through Children‘s Books In troubling the idea of childhood, there is perhaps no better place to go than children’s literature. Children’s literature is where stories of childhood are produced, ostensibly, for children; it…

Sharing a practice of reading with children is also a practice of listening to children: “What are you thinking about? What are your questions?“ @lalouverouge.bsky.social

I appreciate your good vibes from afar and also we want to have more similar conversation in the future so there may be a redux

The presence of the aura of excellent vibes!!

Three people having fun discussing work and poetry.

I am full of gratitude for this conversation @redemmas.org on Saturday with @kristingrogan.bsky.social and Chris Nealon. It was such a wonderful way to launch Poetry in General. Thanks to all who came!!

Most helpful for me, @kristingrogan.bsky.social casts poetry as work, but as work beyond the wage relation. Poetry is not an escape from capitalist forms but a way to intellectualize work as separate from it and as a way to theorize abstracted forms of gender and alienated labor under capitalism

The archive is amazing-- from Pound’s interest in labor politics, to his commitment to scientific management, to his fascism; from Stein's interpretation of “new housekeeping” to charting a theory of queer communal care; from Lola Ridge's fascinating life story to methods of coalition-building...

Coming out of very fun conversation on Saturday and I would like to announce that it is wonderful to read and think about Stitch, Unstitch by @kristingrogan.bsky.social, which helps us shape the modernist canon in relation to how poets engage everyday, ordinary labor.

Book arts are never just books or arts.

Incredible work.

Anyone? Brian’s attendance is requested 💜

Kristin, this all means so much coming from you. And I truly can’t wait to gab about my deep admiration for Stitch, Unstitch tonight. You have entirely reshaped the way I think about modernism

This is tonight! I’m very excited about it

Listen up!

I have an essay contrasting theory camps and communist ones in the latest issue PMLA, which reflects on the 1983 Illinois Marxism and the Interpretation of Culture conference. I sketch a material history of the perilous assumption that professional actions necessarily constitute political activity.
