In Summer 2006 ended my time as a regular student in the French university system with a maîtrise. This fall 2026, I make my teaching rentrée as professor at a French university. If you subtract my co tutelle de thèse and a few gigs, it's been 20 years and a change of placement in the classroom.

This is so interesting: Wikipedia and the gender gap. ‘on the one hand, the criteria for notability are not suited to adequately capture women’s achievements; on the other hand, the criteria seem to be interpreted more strictly for women than for men.’

Many have heard of the infamous "jus primae noctis" or right of first night, the purported right of a lord to sleep with newlywed peasant brides. As Alain Boureau has shown, this was (as so often!) a post-medieval invention rather than an actual historical practice (cue @fakehistoryhunter.net!)

Cover of The Lord's First Night: The Myth of the Droit de Cuissage, by Alain Boureau, translated by Lydia G. Cochrane. The sepia-tinted cover shows a modern painting of a lord leading a well-dressed, weeping woman by the hand, as others look on

Emily Wilson is having the last laugh

Wilson herself has become a target for much of the outrage, too — so much so that she added a contact form to her website specifically marked for “misogynistic trolling” alongside the other button for “kind words and praise.”

À la Bibliothèque, évidemment ! Vous commencerez par une visite guidée du jardin-forêt, puis ferez un tour en salle C où vous attend une sélection d'ouvrages sur le climat ou en salle D où ont été rassemblés des documents sur le droit et l'urgence climatique. Pour finir, dans l'exposition Cartes imaginaires.

Emily Wilson doesn’t have time for online nonsense/culture war about the upcoming ODYSSEY. 👌

From an interview in Vulture: “Have you followed the online discourse about the film so far?
It's made-up controversy. Nobody's seen this movie. It's just the usual triggers about race and gender, and I just find it very tedious.
