Hello to my new followers! I’m a PhD student at UCLA doing research on the mutual construction of blackness and whiteness through Spanish Golden Age lit & theater. Also interested in Spain’s influence on England’s understanding of race thru its literary & cultural production.

The story of conservatism for the past 70 years or so is conservative establishment figures thinking they could temper the extremists in their movement by adopt some of their rhetoric and policies. But instead of that, they just wind up giving the radicals the car keys.
one of the big things that happened in the background that a lot of people didn't see was the Groyper Wars - Fuentes and Kirk were beefing, Fuentes controls a bunch of insane white twinks who were intimidating everyone at conservative events

What COULD be the possible connection between the measurable decline in critical-reading skills EVEN amongst people who choose to study textual disciplines at university, and the wider culture's willingness to believe ANY OLD SHIT that makes them feel better?

Currently reading this for a presentation I have on Mon in my early modern med humanities class. Fascinating how nostalgia originally was thought to be a disease of homesickness. Also interesting to read abt “animal spirits” & their influence on the brain’s production of images

As an early modern Hispanist, i still find it surprising when I take classes in English lit how other literary traditions are almost completely ignored or ostensibly have no influence on English literary & cultural production. It’s as tho all of England’s literary tradition emerged ex nihilo
