Stumbled across this short essay on Stuart Hall and conjunctural analysis from an edited collection and boy, I could have used this earlier! A must-read for everyone who thinks about the present while trying to avoid the methodological risks that entails. Two links in replies:

Rather beautifully, Professor Mahmood Mamdani's dedication in "Neither Settler Nor Native" is to his trail-blazing son, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. He quotes the revolutionary Chinese writer Lu Xun's famous concluding lines in "Hometown": 「其實地上本沒有路,走的人多了,也便成了路。」 -魯迅,故鄉 #everynightapoem
For Zohran,
You teach us how to engage the world in difficult times. May you inspire many and blaze a trail!
It’s like a path across the land—it’s not there to begin with, but when lots of people go the same way, it comes into being.
—Lu Hsun, “Hometown”

From the dedication page of Mamdani, Mahmood, "Neither Settler nor Native : The Making and Unmaking of Permanent Minorities," Harvard University Press, 2020

In NLR 154, Aaron Benanav develops his framework for a post-capitalist social order: ‘From a technical standpoint, there may be no single optimal answer. But from an economic and political perspective, a choice must still be made.’ newleftreview.org/issues/ii154...

Kevin Gray on the rise of the far right in South Korea, in NLR 154: ‘The political system remained prey to polarization, anti-incumbency and popular dissatisfaction, with the electorate both ‘deeply’ and ‘evenly’ divided, as in the US.’ newleftreview.org/issues/ii154...

Please check out @adiray.bsky.social's very timely piece proposing a post colonial critical political economy approach to studying platforms and digital technologies, contesting the Asian developmental model of leapfrogging. Another wonderful article from our social media+society special issue.

I do appreciate that people are getting a look at what I think of as the “real L.A.” There’s garbage and traffic and people from all over and flowers and freeways and the best food you ever ate. And every day you see something you didn’t know was possible.

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

NEW: TikTok users are protesting a potential ban by joining Red Note, aka Xiaohongshu, another Chinese app entirely in Mandarin. “I would rather stare at a language I can't understand than to ever use a social media [platform] that Mark Zuckerberg owns,” said one. www.wired.com/story/red-no...

With a TikTok Ban Looming, Users Flee to Chinese App ‘Red Note’
Some say they joined Xiaohongshu, which translates to "little red book," to spite the US government after a ban on TikTok became more likely.
