I got to borrow Sandrine’s office with a view towards the rooftops of Louvre. I definitely cannot complain about the view and I will really miss it when I return to Lund at the end of the month

A super short visit over the bridge to Roskilde university. It was actually the second time ever to visit the campus. I had a generative discussion abt. right-wing populism, retrogressive conservatism as alternative Europeanization process & how a gendered perspective provides a new research agenda.

Paris has been extremely generous with its sights this past month. The surprisingly good weather has allowed me to take long walks discovering both the touristy and less touristy corners of the city.

W/h 99,9% of votes counted (2272 of 2274 voting stations) it seems it seems that Moldova 🇲🇩 will continue its careful balancing act away from Kremlin. W/h a 52,19% voting presence the elections mark the victory of pro-European PAS (50,16%) ahead of pro-Kremlin Blocul patriotic (24,19%). 1/

Parliamentary elections in 🇳🇴 are another example of collapse of right-wing conservatives: H performed badly & is replaced by radical right populist FrP as largest party on the right. Center-left Ap is largest party though difference between latter two not so big #Norge

Maybe it was the best of times (see around) to try (& finish) reading Le Guin’s beautiful book. The pace is slow (reason I gave up last time) but perseverance is rewarded w/h seeing though the eyes of a (male) human from Terra the complexity of societies from Gethen whose people are ambisexual 1/

These days I’ve enjoyed deep & generous conversations w/h Mia Liinason, Marta Kolankiewicz & Luisa Voss abt. democratic decay, transformations of social contract & epistemic contestations at the kickstart of project Conjunctures of Struggle: Gender, sexuality & future of human rights in 21st century

Nothing says late summer than having a whole cloud of swarming mosquitoes (surprisingly, not visible in the pictures) over one’s head when picking blueberries (look at these beauties) in the Ostrobothnian forest in western 🇫🇮.

And it gets even ”better”. The White House itself has at present some 55.000 sq ft (5.100 m2 for us Europeans). The extension alone will be some 90.000 sq ft (about 8.361 m2)! I suspect is the Big Beautiful Ballroom to celebrate all that big beautiful tariff-winning?!

And the architectural tumor sorry extension (to the right in the official rendering below) is basically dwarfing the original building (to the left). Who needs a functioning democracy when they get to have such a massive ballroom?!

What is resemblance btw. the architectural tumor Tr*ump’s sycophants are going to inflict onto the White House (for ”only” 200 million $) in 🇺🇸 & Ceauşescu’s Bucharest-build monstrosity unironically called ”People’s House” in 🇷🇴 ? I suspect it may be called ”monumental autocratic chic”.

Not sure it was the wisest decision to visit Alhambra Granada in the dead of summer in July, but here you have a snapshot to (sweatily) brag about it. The white marble was simply blinding, but a whole fountain with felines was worth the effort.

Early this week, I welcomed to Lund researchers from 🇩🇪 , 🇷🇴 , 🇸🇪 & 🇬🇧 to explore European inter-imperial peripheries, benefiting from the conceptual insights of Manuela Boatcă’s keynote. I’m tired, but extremely satisfied after this generative intellectual exchange & projects to spring out of this

2025 re-run #Romania #presidentialelections results indicate that both candidates qualified to runoff are so-called anti-systemic: George #Simion, leads the far-right “suveranist” front; Nicușor #Dan, independent candidate, behind whose candidacy right-progressive mobilization has taken place.
