On Turning her up in her Nest with a Plough, 2025. Beautiful work by Daisy Miller at the City & Guilds of London Art School MA Show, some subtle notes on the rural and nostalgia.

Spending my last few days in Lima sneaking into Mario Montalbetti's seminar on Saussure's écrits. A delight...

that said: I think the "it's not fascism unless they're good at it" brand of analysis probably isn't the move

Outstanding anthological exhibition by Miguel Aguirre at ICPNA Miraflores.

Facebook just suspended my account after I revealed Perú’s Army will manufacture arms for Elbit Systems, Israel’s company profiting from genocide and using Palestine as testing lab even though the news of the contract is on Elbit’s on web site. Please spread widely. Peruvian media is silent.

Portuguese translation of IMMEDIACY is coming soon! Here's a preview of sorts, thanks to @boitempo.bsky.social! blogdaboitempo.com.br/2025/07/18/a...

50 years ago today, JAWS premiered! "Reification&Utopia in Mass Culture" still the greatest "all contemporary works of art-whether high culture modernism or mass culture-have as their underlying impulse fantasies about the nature of social life as it ought be lived" www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/4...

Available in Spanish: "La vida es dura. Machismo, peligro e intimidad del poder en Nicaragua" (prometeoeditorial.com/productos/la...), Roger Lancaster's fantastic ethnography of post Sandinista Revolution Nicaragua. Tremendously creative and beautifully written, it has been a pleasure to translate.

Kudos to Professor Kornbluh. Last year, I translated some excerpts from this fantastic book for my course on contemporary art and its discontents. We read Kornbluh (immediacy), Kunst (politics/care), Pfaller (form/truth), McGowan (identity)... Younglings were absolutely delighted.

first person dominates in the anglo novel in the 21st century, a radical change from the previous 300 years of the novel form. for an explanation of this historical mutation and the ideology around it, check out chapter 3! (happy to send a copy to anyone) www.versobooks.com/products/303...

From Chicago, USA to Chiclayo, Perú, and now off to the Vatican: Robert Prevost, Pope Leo XIV. An American Pope (with a Peruvian ID Card) was not in my bingo card…

"L'Or des Images. Art - Monnaie - Capital" (2013), by Marxist scholar Isabelle Garo. A beautiful, well-written book that should soon be available in Spanish, fingers crossed. (Why is it not available in English yet?!). The section criticising post/neo-operaismo is some serious, sharp stuff.

Muy recomendado "Capitalism Hates You. Marxism and the New Horror Film", de @joshuagooch.bsky.social; especialmente encantado con la lectura que hace del "new Black Horror": un ejercicio de pensamiento dialéctico de gran nivel, y preciso para un libro de análisis marxista. Kudos!

I'm sorry but I'm absolutely stunned to report that CAPITALISM A HORROR STORY is a finalist for the 2025 Locus Awards 🔥 and just LOOK at the company the book gets to share!

Marxist theory is not family research. The progressive character of art, its contribution to struggle for liberation cannot be measured by the artists' origins. Neither by the presence /absence of the oppressed class in their works. The criteria are given only in the work itself as a whole. Marcuse

Distant rumours of conspiracies: fascination with body positions, contemporary apartments that operate as old war rooms, things that seem out of place in time, loose ends that remain unresolved. Fantastic works by Alan Martí (Santiago de Chile, 1995), Taller Navarrete.

“Regret requires perspective. It requires space for reflection. It requires the ability to imagine a future and picture different possible paths your life might have taken.” @chriswblackwell.bsky.social author of Ending Isolation in @nytimes.com

Opinion | I Should Never Have Picked Up That Gun

I am surrounded by men who live with regret. And that regret is an incarceration every bit as real as the towering walls around us.
