Falls es jemanden interessiert, von welcher Organisation der @taz.de Autor N. Potter hier für seine Arbeit gewürdigt wird. @abgeordnetenwatch.de hatte gerade erst die Recherche "Wie Elnet Politik und Unternehmen zusammenbringt" publiziert. Hat die taz ihrem Autor auch schon gratuliert?

The ‘ceasefire’
Israel just struck Beirut’s southern suburbs for the first time in months and first time since last year’s war without a warning.
Reports saying it was an airstrike in Haret Hreik. Though such attacks usually are struck by drone

Chapter 3 of my summary of Kevin Anderson’s The Late Marx’s Revolutionary Roads. This time we dig deeper into Marx’s history of philosophy and how open-ended history could be for him. 1/6

Lots of interesting insights to gain from this passage in the book's introduction: How to approach the works of intellectuals from a critical perspective aiming to overcome metropole-periphery dichotomies?

The LMU announces the cancellation of a seminar on the topic "the targeting of Palestinian academia". The cancellation announcement is titled "LMU as a place of pluralistic discourse". Couldn't make this up.

Keine dt. Wissenschaftsorganisation und m.w. auch keine Uni hat die völlige Zerstörung des Bildungssystems in Gaza verurteilt oder irgendein Mindestmaß an Solidarität gezeigt - aber eine wissenschaftliche Diskussion über den Scholastizid verbieten, das ist Zeichen eines „pluralistischen Diskurses“
„Die LMU als Ort des pluralistischen Diskurses“ 🤪
Die LMU sagt einen workshop mit palästinensischen academics ab, die über "targeting of Palestinian academia" sprechen wollten, nachdem der workshop durch einen brief des NJH an die unleitung getargeted wurde.

They've cancelled it while describing the uni as "a space for pluralistic discourse"...No contradiction at all...

Starting with a chapter-by-chapter summary of Kevin Anderson's The Late Marx's Revolutionary Roads pbulished by @versobooks.bsky.social earlier this year. First up: the introduction, where Anderson lays out the reception history of Marx's late notebooks.

Interesting reflections on the current transition from neoliberal capitalism by Sven Beckert. Yet the question remains how to avoid the "morbid phenomena" of Gramsci's interregnum

Mansour & seine FDP connection.
Dafür hat er dann trotz durchweg negativer Gutachten ein 9 mio € Geschenk für seine Firma von Stark-Watzinger bekommen.
Ein Schelm wer dabei an Korruption & Vetternwirtschaft denkt.

Es ist kein Wunder, dass offenbar vor allem FDP-Abgeordnete das Projekt vorantrieben, dass von Wissenschaftler*innen als "nicht förderungswürdig" bewertet wurde: Mansour half der FDP u.a. 2023 im Wahlkampf und trat in mehreren FDP-Werbeformaten auf.
Das #Forschungsministerium fördert seit Juli 2025 ein Projekt gegen #Antisemitismus an Schulen – geleitet vom #Islamismus-Experten Ahmad Mansour. CORRECTIV liegen Unterlagen vor, die auf die Verletzung von wissenschaftlichen Standards hindeuten.

Morning! Fanon students, one question:
Has the Algerian journal El Moudjahid been translated into English?
Also translation is full of complex meanings.
I don’t know but ‘mort atmosphérique’ cant simply be ‘omnipresent death’? It doesn’t include ‘social death’ that Fanon’s alludes to here, right?

Currently reading: Yvonne Albers' "Biography" of the periodical Mawāqif. A history of intellectuals & the practice of producing and publishing journals in Beirut, 1960s-90s. I hope there will be an English & Arabic translation of the book soon...
