At 20:00, the first of three programmes by Sam Dolbear and me on Ernst Schoen's musical worlds....on Resonance FM and then archived on Mixcloud. Tonight childhood. Of him. Of us. Of radio.
@britishlibrary Not to mention a massive commercial tower overshadowing Somers Town. Plus a vast cavern beneath for a now cancelled Crossrail 2. All hail the Brutish Library.
Join us to discuss at the Centre for the Study of Law and the Humanities with Federico Zappino, Leticia Sabsay and Esther Leslie Capitalism and Authoritarianism. Link with details of when and where the event is taking place and how to book👇🏼

I was in Lisbon, where there is a Painleve exhibition. It was beautiful to watch this shimmering auto animation. Squids and clumsy medieval.knoghts also feature. Plus a vampire (bat) salute that was strangely Musk-like.
What did The Strand look like in 1823, through the eyes of William Blake at Fountain Court, or Mary Shelley at the church of St Clement's?
@afoggyplace.bsky.social walks us through the buskers, crowds, and pub meetings for radicals in her fascinating article: 19.bbk.ac.uk/article/id/1...

Was the London Mechanics' Institute (now @BirkbeckUoL) a pioneer of the visual lecture? Read @Prof_JPlunkett on the university's fascinating attempts to illustrate knowledge: from diagrams & transparencies to magic lantern shows to live experiments. 19.bbk.ac.uk
Fabulous cinema. Saw the worst film ever there - Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Luckily distracted by cinema environment in-between consulting Wikipedia to work out incomprehensible plot.
Birkbeck's renown London Critical Theory Summer School is back, taking place from 23 June to 4 July 2025. The school is in-person but with a streaming option. The deadline for applications is Friday 10 January 2025. More details: www.bbk.ac.uk/annual-event...
