Shakespeare in the Bardo | Tana Wojczuk
Shakespeare is no longer just a playwright, he is an industry.
"Shakespeare is no longer just a playwright; he is an industry. Beginning with the waning golden age of the theater in the late nineteenth century, Shakespeare became the property of academics. In the mid-nineteenth century, Shakespeare was popular culture". thebaffler.com/latest/shake...

Everything Is at Stake | Apoorva Tadepalli
In everything he publishes, Amit Chaudhuri pursues a “poetics of unfinishedness.”
"In Chaudhuri's novels, every paragraph reads like the first; he writes fiction that gives these self-contained fragments 'primacy over the superstructure of narrative.' They exist for their own sake; they can be read and revisited independently."

Serralves mostra no Porto 31 projetos do estúdio de Alvar Aalto
"Os Aalto, naquele período, inventaram uma linguagem contemporânea para a jovem Finlândia do pós-guerra. Era, no fundo, o que procuravam os jovens arquitetos em Portugal, também", analisa o curador. @lusa.pt www.noticiasaominuto.com/cultura/2823...

"O dinheiro não deve valer mais do que uma lágrima humana. Defendo um desporto de alta competição em que haja respeito pelo jogador, e por vezes este tem de subordinar-se aos imperativos dos media ou dos homens da televisão. Tem de ser respeitado em todas as circunstâncias, como qualquer ser humano"

Manuel Sérgio, o grande pensador do Desporto pós-25 de Abril de 1974
Nunca teria espaço suficiente para fazer jus a 1/16 avos do legado que deixa. Era um homem bom e das mentes mais brilhantes que conheci. Vai fazer muita, muita falta.

And that’s when you’re beginning to go under. You’ve been beaten, and it’s been deliberate. The whole society has decided to make you nothing. And they don’t even know they’re doing it.

A Ceasefire Is Not Enough | Tariq Kenney-Shawa
The ceasefire is not a solution but a mirror. Decades of Israeli occupation, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid against Palestinians brought us here.
"There’s nothing quite like a ceasefire to make the world feel better about itself-as if it were an excuse to close what has been an unpleasant book, return it to its place on the shelf to collect dust, and get on with more pressing business" thebaffler.com/latest/a-cea...
