Apropos of Nothing

Hachette Book Group on Friday dropped its plans to publish Woody Allen’s autobiography and said it would return all rights to the author, a day after its employees protested its deal with the filmmaker. - Hachette Says It Won’t Publish Woody Allen’s Book

...Hachette executives had discussed the matter with its staff and, “After listening, we came to the conclusion that moving forward with publication would not be feasible for HBG.”
...
Hachette announced the book deal on Monday, saying its Grand Central Publishing imprint would release Mr. Allen’s autobiography, “Apropos of Nothing,” on April 7. Ronan Farrow, Mr. Allen’s son, whose book “Catch and Kill” was published by another Hachette imprint, criticized Hachette, calling its decision to publish Mr. Allen’s book a betrayal.

Staff walk out of Little, Brown in support of Ronan Farrow and his sister Dylan.

Stephen King Jumps Into the Woody Allen/Hachette Dispute for No Good Reason: Not everyone is entitled to a book deal, Steve. - writes one Chelsea Steiner, replying to Stephen King, who said

The Hachette decision to drop the Woody Allen book makes me very uneasy. It's not him; I don't give a damn about Mr. Allen. It's who gets muzzled next that worries me.

problematizing and rethinking

The Möbius strip has the advantage of showing the inflection of mind into body and body into mind, the ways in which, through a kind of twisting or inversion, one side becomes another. This model... provides a way of problematizing and rethinking the relations between the inside and the outside of the subject, its psychical interior and its corporeal exterior, by showing not their fundamental identity or reducibility but the torsion of the one into the other, the passage, vector, or uncontrollable drift of the in side into the outside and the outside into the inside.

- Elizabeth Grosz, Volatile Bodies: Toward a Corporeal Feminism

это пишет знатная феминистка Elizabeth Grosz, professor of Women's Studies and Literature at Duke

интересно, она читала про торсионные поля, или сама придумала

название книги кое-что напоминает: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity

журнал Social Text тоже издавался в Duke University.

feminism redux

наконец-то ознакомился с одним из основополагающих трудов современного феминизма Men Explain Things to Me одной Rebecca Solnit. это она на фото. это она придумала термин mansplaining.

ну что тут скажешь кроме того, что у нее на лице написано... да ничего не скажешь. ну и по содержанию ее текст подтверждает, что это классическая ТП™

зато есть Laura Kipnis, вполне вменяемая женщина. прочел ее Sexual Paranoia Strikes Academe, пишет она замечательно, правда длинновато, видно, что получает от этого занятия удовольствие. учитывая ее взгляды, странно, что ее до сих пор не побили камнями на рыночной площади.

ну и наконец совсем свежий скандал:

CERN had the nice idea of hosting a workshop on gender and high-energy physics. Then a senior (male) CERN scientist got up and told the room full of young women that they aren’t as smart as men, and get all sorts of unfair advantages. Ugh. @seanmcarroll

очередная буря в стакане воды, там много ссылок, вот одна полезная на слайды этого морального урода (CERN их уже убрал под ковер): Experimental test of a new global discrete symmetry
