Kristof Titeca continually writes some of the most interesting and thought-provoking analysis on Uganda, so you really want to hear his thoughts on the upcoming elections.

The FIFA Peace Prize sounds like a throwaway 30 Rock joke about an event Jack Donaghy was attending or Jenna Maroney was performing at.

Diese Aussage ist ganz zentral, die lange bestehende Trennung in einen "psychoanalytischen" und "revolutionären" Fanon wird heute als falsch erachtet. Aber: wir haben inzwischen viele weitere Texte von Fanon, literarische, psychiatrische, politische. Sagt mal: was lohnt sich für Euch noch zu lesen?

Incredible work here tracing continuous oral traditions among Aboriginal peoples over a near-geological timescale.

The article argues oral traditions transmitted information about volcano eruptions from 9,000 years ago:

Nochmal zur Erinnerung: die KAS hat ihn eingeladen, über „Postkolonialismus“ zu schreiben, u.a. behauptet er in seinem Text, der bekannte Globalhistoriker Patrick Boucheron unterminiere den „roman national“, also eine nationalistische, weit in die Vergangenheit zurückreichende Geschichte Frankreichs
i don't think it's a surprise that the guru of the modern Quebec nationalist movement is referred to by French media as "Eric Zemmour with a human face"

8000 Artikel über zu viel "Wokeness" an den deutschen Unis; vornehmes Schweigen dazu, dass diese Unis gerade im Rahmen einer harten Austeritätspolitik abgewickelt werden.

A large stash of documents from WWII, many relating to Poland’s underground resistance, has been discovered under the floor in a historic tenement house in Warsaw.

The collection also includes the diary of a young woman living under the Nazi-German occupation.

Ja: Alle, deren Verträge an der Uni Leipzig in den nächsten zwei Jahren auslaufen, sind raus. Die Lehre soll über Lehraufträge abgedeckt werden. Sachmittel werden gekürzt. Zudem sollen alleine an der Phil Fak 4 Professuren und 11 Mitarbeiterstellen abgebaut werden. Grund sind sinkende Zuweisungen.
An der Uni Leipzig werden nach meinen Infos in 2026 keine (!) Mittelbau-Stellen verlängert oder neu besetzt.
Das hängt natürlich auch an der Landesregierung.

Au Burkina Faso, la junte va rétablir la peine de mort
Le projet de loi sur la réforme du code pénal porté par le régime militaire burkinabé sanctionne également « la promotion et les pratiques homosexuelles ». La peine capitale n’était plus appliquée dans le pays depuis la fin des années 1980.

14. Ce qui est certain c’est que ni le déni ("circulez y’a rien à voir", "calomnie") ni le whataboutism ("il y a pire à droite/au RN/sur Bfm", sans blague) ne permettront d’avancer, et que sans avancer une gauche intellectuelle déjà mal en point restera dans une impasse tragique vue la période /FIN

Me, reading theory
i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.
Oh man! This paragraph is brutal. The best thing about this review is it's not trying to be mean. It's just listing how bad the writing is.

(fil/1) À la lumière de ce qu’il faudra hélas appeler "l’affaire Théry" une série de constats s’imposent, certainement pas pour se réjouir de sa suspension ou du terrible fiasco plus général pour une partie de la gauche universitaire, mais pour ne pas laisser le monopole des réactions aux réacs
Je suis extrêmement gêné et découragé de voir tant de collègues signer cette tribune et par là même valider le texte indigent de J. Théry sur l'absence d'antisémitisme à gauche (le niveau de déni sur l'URSS est à peine croyable), sans parler du "soutien" apporté à quelqu'un repostant cette abjection
