New review of Binding Media out in pre-print!

"Ortega’s terminology – “binding media” – is a useful phrase that should enter the critical lexicon. It gives us the means through which to consider these hybrid media forms, not as “just” paratextual objects, but as core parts of distributed books."

When writing a book––even more a first book––one can only hope to have such careful, generous, and generative readers as @eve.gd
Thank you!!

Hoy me ha escrito un señor muy enfadado diciéndome que vaya horror de traductora soy, que Joyce Carol Oates nunca ha usado la expresión «irse de rositas».

Le he contestado que tiene toda la razón, que ella no escribe en castellano.

Y que feliz lunes, claro.

No te aproveches del español para un posicionamiento político sin retribuir a la comunidad que vive en esa lengua.

Hey @colorado.gov! My undergrad students can help! Also, why not take your enthusiasm further and help promote and fund more Spanish instruction at all levels all over the state.

nothing like having to submit a sabbatical proposal to get you out of the short period of research complacence after your first book is out.

El problema no es si premian a tal o cual agente de la CIA, los europeos tienen derecho a premiar a quien se les pegue la gana y a darse palmaditas en la espalda;el problema es que sigamos creyendo que un club de Cñores que sólo han comido albóndigas con cebolla son LA autoridad en todos los campos.

It’s not that rare for people to stop in the street to say hi and pet this guy👇🏽 or scream from their cars “I love your dog!”

But today we unlocked the guy-runs-out-of-his-house-to-say-“your dog is super cute!” level of neighborhood canine stardom.
