Poland’s Missing Other
This has me thinking a bit more about the Other. Of course all people’s have multiple others that exist at different levels of abstraction. When I said that Poland’s Others are Russia and Germany (usually in that order though sometimes … Continue reading
Feminism…. is still Dead
This gruesome spectacle (warning: the worst graphic in the world might induce seizures) provides more evidence, as if any was needed, that feminism is dead. Just two sample quotes from reporter who originally reported this case (including reporting the suspect’s … Continue reading
Let’s Shake…. Your Hands! Your Hands! The Horror! The Hooooorrrrrooooorrr..

This is indicative of the tendency of magazines like Slate to treat every ethnic disagreement as a problem of discrimination. Sorry. I’m not buying it. Yes, the Estonian government could probably make it easier for Russians who are fluent in … Continue reading

I was delighted to see this on youtube. Back in the late 1970’s I had started to develop a taste in non-anglophone music starting with some Latin American pop and then some Arabic Levantine music and Indian movie songs. Then … Continue reading
Cahiers du Cinéma de Sexe Cannibale
