I have a vague interest in the history of attachment theory now it's become so meme-ified and I've read a bit by/about John Bowlby before but I did not expect it to have anything to do with him learning about how ducks and geese feed ducklings and goslings 🦆🪿

I can't be bothered to check if or to what extent this is true nor will I hazard a guess as to why this might be the case but my ambient sense is that only (or certainly mostly) men have reviewed Anton Jäger's Hyperpolitics book and that's both kind of funny and/or depressing

It’s weird how - when the press goes looking for racism in Britain in the 2020s - the only places it can ever be found are in left wing politics, public services, unionised professions and academia. Isn’t that remarkable, given what you can see and hear every day.

I wrote on psychic life and Palestinian resistance – to ensure more people read Abdaljawad Omar @hamayel.bsky.social. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

For the Palestinian people, psychic life is just as much a site of struggle for liberation as social life. Palestinians are persistently refused psychological amplitude, characteristics easily granted to those who are never worried they might fall out of what is constituted as the category of the human. Abdaljawad Omar’s writings in English published since October 7, 2023 (as well as writings by other Palestinians, other Arabs, and those of Palestinian descent) offer means of understanding material resistance in relation to the terrain of the psyche. Omar offers distinctive accounts of mourning, loss, and ruins, as well as of how settler colonialism reorganizes experiences of time and relations between past, present, and future. The article reads Omar’s writings against other accounts of mourning and of psychic phenomena that are indebted to psychoanalysis. Omar’s analyses of Palestinians’ resistance to unfreedom and annihilation open up other ways of understanding the psychic vicissitudes of those who suffer, grieve, and struggle to exit a colonial condition characterized by the colonizer’s repeated attempts to break psychic worlds as well as erase bodily life. Understandings of psychic life that do justice to how Palestine is redrawing the world are central to the work of ‘cracking history open’.
