The Middle Ages still have something to say. Thursday, January 8, 2015. Charlie Hebdo and Neighborliness. I'm cross-posting this from my personal blog. There is a lot more to say, and a lot more to tease out, but these brief thoughts seem like an important reminder while so many are so busy with the Clash of Civilizations narrative. Today, I began reading David Nirenberg’s Neighboring Faiths: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism in the Middle Ages and Today. For an excellent take on it. That “Our way o...

That’s because people eventually realise that they can fill the holes in each others hearts. 8211; Kishimoto’s. Love is a pleasant fire kindled by true desire. 8211; Thomas Wyatt, A Reproof.

Books made from human skin. Based on the short story by Clive Barker, the film Hellraiser contains a simple enough premise that has spawned countless, albeit tiresome sequels. What if one could open a gateway to Hell itself by solving a puzzle? The graphic novels establish a different, and more horrific premise. in the graphic novels, the boxes made by Lemarchand are made with human body parts – fat and bone. But is the premise of boxes made from the parts of human bodies that horrifying? Responses to &#...

How to tell you are reading a Gothic Novel, in Pictures! No, this blog is not dead. Yes, it is very much still alive!

SAA 2016: Shakespearean Communities. The Anthrobscene by Jussi Parikka. June 12, 2015. This short book, one of U. Minnesota P’s new “Forerunners” series, is a great little one-nighter for those of us weighing Anthropocene thoughts. The Press blurb tells it — “This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship.”. Emphasizes the obscene nature of despoiling wild spaces:.
