just watched Oliver Laxe's SIRAT. It shakes you to the core, stays w/you, hypnotizes you. Profound sadness, hopeless pursuit of hope & helpless resignation to hopelessness masterfully combined. The political background is nicely inserted. Captivating ambiance. Intense, jarring, memorable.

Thrilled to announce my new book (electronic version out now, print next month) — it proposes a new value theory grounded in the longue durée of literary institutions, 1800–present.

The book’s intro is ready to go…
The final title might still change slightly, but for now it’s:
“Uncertain Knowledge: The Science of Making Relevance between the Ottoman Empire and Early Modern Europe”

does one include the sources mentioned in the footnote in the biblio of one's dissertation? e.g.: I wrote a footnote to provide additional context to my argument & cited a source in the footnote. Do I include that source in my biblio OR do I only write sources I cited in the body of the writing?
