This review of a book about Eric Hobsbawm manages to avoid saying where he worked for his whole career: Birkbeck. He was (t)here from 1947-1982, then emeritus, then President, 2002-2012. A university focused on giving education to working class people. www.theideasletter.org/essay/the-ce...

#18thc pals, pls RT: @kasiaiskasia.bsky.social & I are assembling a roundtable for the American Society for 18th-C Studies mting in Philly in April, on Olga Tokarczuk's 18th Century. Abstracts due 9/22. Pls help us think together about this fabulous novelist's wayward ways with our period & its 📚.

Olga Tokarczuk's Eighteenth Century, Co-chairs Katarzyna Bartoszyska and Deidre Shauna Lynch We are assembling a roundtable on the novels of Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk. We hope to identify other scholars who are interested in how her fiction lays claim to the legacy of eighteenth-century literature and philosophy, repurposing the Enlightenment’s encyclopedism and universalism and its concepts of print communications, the public sphere, and the trans-national republic of letters. How do we re-see our period —its modernity, its concerns with gender, nature, violence, nation—through the lens provided by this 21st-century Polish novelist? Alternately, how might we trace continuities from the eighteenth century to the present in the formal experiments or thematic concerns of novels such as Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead and The Books of Jacob, and what new architectures of totality or concepts of voice might we discover by doing so?

79 people shot in Gaza over the weekend: There is no excuse for starving people and then opening fire on civilians desperately lining up for food. None. Congress must not give Netanyahu another penny of unconditional military aid.

The Arts and Humanities Alliance have written an open letter to Bridget Philippson, Secretary of State for Education, on the recently announced cuts across the sector. We are concerned that these measures disproportionately affect our disciplines and call for an urgent government review.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Can’t be repeated often enough ‘The UK’s creative industries are vital to the economy. Valued at £124bn, they are worth more than the life sciences, aerospace and automotive industries combined. Arts and culture alone contribute an impressive £34.6bn.’ on.ft.com/42hzVmL
