If i tell students that not a single word produced by me in a class (not an email, not a prompt, or even a title slide) will be AI-generated, do you think it could encourage them to … do stuff themselves?

reading just enough german to get Marx’s “Sie konnën sich nicht vertreten, sie müssen vertreten werden” in Orientalism is spooky chilling & not recommended

In my Calcutta house: dad’s 1980s copy of volume 1 of capital, published by Progress Publishers in Moscow (1978 reprint edition). The success of Moscow publishers in Kolkata and the presence of these editions in the city has so many stories to tell. Also, I thought these loose papers were love+

Progress publishers copy of Marx’s Capital vol 1 (reprint 1978)

Inscription on fly leaf “Sarbajit Sengupta, University of Calcutta, 1980”

Old yellowed notes in loose pages inserted in the book

Notes on “capitalism and agriculture” written in hand.

"The Alchemist", a painting from Mattheus van Helmont from mid seventeenth century, is rich in detail, and full of #earlymodern paper details. Here is a 🧵, dear #skystorians, unfortunately not about the large écorché figure, a distillation apparatus over a fire, but about #paperhistory. Enjoy.

Painting from Mattheus van Helmont: "The Alchemist". mid c17.

A room with a working table is shown: an old man works at the table which is full of objects and books. Assistants are too working in the busy alchemist's shop.

Hi. My department is hiring two tenure-track assistant profs in American lit -- one pre-1900 and one post-1900. WVU is, to say the obvious, a complicated place. What isn't complicated is that our students are amazing and deserve so much more than they've received. More below.

Wistful train ride to NYC... thinking about how disinformation is not just fake content in the wild of a free market of ideas. No, it's farm-produced and piped through platforms that have been refining sentiment analysis, network analysis and targeted messaging to bamboozle a hell lot of our kin.
