The Word made Flesh is out today! I've not seen it in the flesh myself yet, but this is a happy day after many years of work.

Cover of the book The Word made Flesh: Lutheran Bodies, 1600-1720 by Karin Sennefelt. The over image shows an etching of a young woman in a dress but bare foot flying through the air during a lightning storm.

A reminder that my book on the history of protest is now published. It is superbly produced with a great cover. Buy it now from @reaktionbooks.bsky.social
Contested Commons Formidably erudite, compellingly argued, and dryly humorous, Contested Commons will change the way you think about the politics of space, the "myth of the commons", and the history of England since the eighteenth century: MATTHEW KELLy, author of The Women Who Saved the English Countryside "Starting with Kennington Common, and ranging from Steeple Bumpstead to Sheffield, Stonehenge and Brixton, and with a cast that includes ramblers, ranters, revolutionaries and ravers, this is a superb, sweeping but fine-grained history. It's also a highly necessary, politically urgent reminder of what public space is - places for everyone, owned by everyone, accessible to everyone, whether carefully tended or wild - and what it isn't, the tradition of pseudo-public space that runs from Victorian parks to privatised malls.' OWEN HATHERLEY, author of A Guide to the New Ruins of Great Britain

När allt blir psykologi är det vi som ska ändras, inte samhället.

"Det är polariserandet från samhällstoppen, inte minst från höger, som borde diskuteras. Istället får vi artikelserier, radio- och tv-program där folk med olika åsikter ska uppfostras till samsyn." Jag skriver om psykologiserandet av politiska åsikter och en aggressiva konformitetskultur.

En mans värld består sociobiologiskt av jakt och expansion av klanen eller “socknen”, vad vi idag kallar skydd och försörjning. Ingenjörsskap och handel. I denna värld lämnas egot hemma av nödvändighet. Kvinnors värld består av socialt utbyte inom ringmuren och diskursen på torget, det som grekerna kallar agoran.

Sommaren 2026 avslutar SJ all internationell nattågstrafik efter att regeringen stryper finansieringen. Anslaget på 95 miljoner motsvarar statens årliga förlust för Bromma flygplats.
Bromma flygplats blöder lika mycket som SJ:s nattåg till Tyskland kostar

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Due to Academia(.)edu licensing agreement, which permits the use of your likeness, voice, and publications in any manner they choose, I, like many others, have decided to leave the platform. You can now find my research on ResearchGate instead.

The vast amount of willing collaborators really is shocking.

UC Berkeley gives the Trump admin the names of 160 faculty + students for a federal investigation into “alleged antisemitic incidents.”

Judith Butler, one of the targeted scholars, tells me: "It is an enormous breach of trust... It's shocking. Did you consider not complying with this request?”
