Weekend in London and New York

Sun, 27 May 2012 12:19:59 -0400

Off to London for the weekend and I can’t wait to get there. Shopping in Covent garden and Oxford circus will be fabolous. I’ve already booked a London cab and will meet up Sarah and Nicole tomorrow. Finally, we also booked a flight to New York after inspiration from ny.co.uk, a new site about New York with tips and advise for Manhattan shopping. Which city would you rather go for a long weekend?

FEIST - The bad in each other by martin de thurah

The many narratives of Martin de Thurah’s new music video for Feist create something mysterious and intentionally incomplete, yet also undeniably touching. On her website, Leslie Feist herself offers this insight: ”This video captures glimpses of something human, we get a peek inside something real between people — could be loss, longing, and love… It is told in a way where it opens up more aspects than it concludes.”

The first paragraph of Matt Cartmill’s review of Donna Haraway’s Primate Visions book. It appeared in the International Journal of Primatology (Vol. 12, No. 1, 1991)

This is a book that contradicts itself a hundred times; but that is not a criticism of it, because its author thinks…

This is awesome. I regularly use this example in class. I’ll have to be sure to assign it this semester, when we talk about political economy. I wish they would also do the other side of my classroom analogy: European sports leagues. The irony is that “socialist” Europe has truly capitalist league structures (e.g. no salary caps, relegation, no draft) while “capitalist” Americans insist on their sports leagues being “fair” and “equal” (e.g. salary caps, no relegation, a draft where losers get a better shot at picking top players).

The downside, obviously, is that it’s partisan (so I’ll get slammed by right-leaning students). Besides, I don’t think Democrats are “socialists” any more than I believe Republicans are “capitalists.” The irony, as I tell my students, is that the US has two liberal parties. In fact, most people in Europe or Latin America seem confused as to what the big brouhaha is between these two parties, since they stand for nearly identical platforms (at least relative to party systems in countries that actually do have ultra-nationalist parties, communist parties, and everything in between).

From theatlanticvideo:

A Short Animation About the How the NFL Is Like Socialism
Fraser Davidson, a London-based animator, created this video inspired by Bill Maher’s comparison of the economics of pro football and baseball. He brings a two-minute excerpt from the audio version of Maher’s book, The New New Rules, to life with a blend of 1950s-style sports imagery and Soviet-era graphics.

So, Bill Maher won’t be watching the Super Bowl on Sunday?
