This little essay on spirit photography and commodity secularism ("The Ghost and the Gimmick") was a lot of fun to write; I hope some of you will find it fun to read. And even if not, I'd love to know what you think. Gift link: read.dukeupress.edu/american-lit...

The Biden administration announced last Tuesday that they were totally fine with Israel's ongoing violation of basic humanitarian conditions in Gaza, and plan to continue feeding the genocide machine. Call your congresspeople and tell them to support the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval!

In the last three days, Columbia University President Shafik and her administration have seriously violated both.
We are shocked at her failure to mount any defense of the free inquiry central to the educational mission of a university in a democratic society and at her willingness to appease legislators seeking to interfere in university affairs.

"How the Earth Feels" by @danaluci.bsky.social examines how the impacts of geology on 19th-century US culture catalyzed transformative conversations about the intersections between humans & the nonhuman world. Read the introduction for free now: ow.ly/QLU250Q5vln

Cover of How the Earth Feels: Geological Fantasy in the Nineteenth-Century United States by Dana Luciano. Cover is a landscape painting. An individual and an alpaca walk in the foreground of the painting underneath tall, green trees. A river runs through the landscape before flowing into a waterfall over a rugged cliff. Black smoke plumes into a large, orange-hued cloud as a volcano erupts in the background.
