yahya m madra

yes indeed.

when I watched when I was 17, this movie made me a leftist. Have Donald Sutherland made his appearance in full force?

I think the conversation in Power/Knowledge with the Cahiers pour l’Analyse crowd is an interesting and revealing exchange.

Teoman Madra’nın Disiplinlerarası Sanatsal Pratiği « Teoman’ın sanatı, teknolojiyi hiçbir zaman nötr bir araç olarak görmedi. Kamera, bilgisayar, yazılım, internet… her biri onun için hem imkân hem engel, hem oyun hem mücadele alanı oldu. »

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

Being an political economist who is transitioning to psychoanalysis, I totally missed the story of Theory and Society’s demise. Is there an account of it somewhere?

“The reality that liberal politicians are desperately trying to disguise is that the people vastly outnumber the invading force, … and, if even minimally organized, the [working] people therefore have the ability to defeat the invasion on their own.”

New article by Phil A. Neel examining the post-2020 political order, arguing that liberal myths about law, elections, and restraint function as counterinsurgency in an era of open state violence.

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:

“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

A brilliant read. Yet, I am left wondering what would be articulated otherwise if the essay weren’t written exclusively from the perspective of the clinic of neurosis. The crisis of symbolic investiture and the foreclosure of the Name of the Father has far reaching political implications.

Michael Bernstein’s Perilous Progress might have somethings if I remember correctly

Pragmatizm derken felsefi bir yönelim olarak. John Dewey, FDR, Rorty. Beyaz Saray’da FDR’ın resmini çekmiş, Mamdani. Eğer insulate edebilirse NY’u önümüzdeki bir sene yeniden seçilebilir ve yapacaklarına zemin açabilir.

American pragmatism. Olumsuz olarak söylemiyorum

This is a bold statement. They attack and he perseveres. Impressive.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Her article Marx and Derrida was pretty spot on.

looks very interesting. Following Malabou’s path?

Only half joking: Is he spiraling out of control?
