A harbinger of symbolic culture.and look what that’s brought us. But it was never a natural or inevitable development.

Time becomes a thing, standing pitilessly over us. Time and alienation are two words that are the measure of each other. Our lives thus begin an estrangement that grows and grows. ![]() I think that it is with time–that is, our consciousness of this so-elusive object–that we first enter into a symbolic field or dimension. Zerzan had this to say about his book 'Time & Time Again': Subjects of his criticism include domestication, language, symbolic thought, and the concept of time. In 'A People's History of Civilization, John Zerzan critiques agriculture-based civilization as inherently oppressive and advocates drawing upon the life of hunter-gatherers as an inspiration for what free society should look like. He will discuss his new books 'A People's History of Civilization' and 'Time & Time Again.' Friday August 3rd we will host a talk by John Zerzan. ![]()

![]() ![]() Wrong story! The "adventures" unfolding in the following pages are not only at odds with armchair-reader myths about cruising under sail in general, but examine the subject of odds-that ratio of numbers expressing the probability of an event happening to the probability of its not happening. Could this true story be about a happily married, late middle-aged couple with limited finances, romantically cruising aboard a beautiful ocean-sailing yacht after years of nose-to-the-grindstone work, sacrifice, irony and setbacks? Sorry, no dice. Do these images tell a true story? Are they not similar to those seen on TV advertising far-away locations and water parks and perfect people, perfectly dressed for their perfect fun and the enjoyment promised? Do these images represent reality part of the time? Practically none of the time? Choose the last answer, and you'll be knocking on Truth's door.

Pointing to the board, she said, “if there was C, C, C, C, then it’ll pair with G, G, G, G”, which made us collapse into a fit of giggles.Īlthough today’s book recommendation title is super cheesy (sorry, I love cheese!) and is obviously about one of their biggest songs – because, of course I love their most famous song! – I chose Dynamite as my inspiration for the title because this was the song my friends and I bonded over (where they proceeded to endearingly educate me on who each member was, followed by a pop quiz). One of my fondest memories in Biology was sitting with my friends in the back learning about DNA, and our teacher talking about base pairing rules. I remember having to explain to my friends that, yes! I can enjoy music that isn’t in English! and listening to Girls Generation, Super Junior, Shinee, EXO, and 2NE1. ![]() ![]() In case you’re new to the Pond’s book recommendation posts, the recommendation posts are brought to you by Varian, the Pond’s very own Toadshifter who is knowledgeable in all kinds of magic!

Unlike many of Bradbury's other novel-length works, such as Dandelion Wine and The Martian Chronicles, which are fix-ups, Something Wicked This Way Comes is a single, full-length narrative. The novel combines elements of fantasy and horror, analyzing the conflicting natures of good and evil that exist within all individuals. Dark's presence is countered by that of Will's father, Charles Halloway, the janitor of the town library, who harbors his own secret fear of growing older because he feels he is too old to be Will's dad. In reality, Dark is a malevolent being who, like the carnival, lives off the life force of those they enslave. Dark", who seemingly wields the power to grant the townspeople's secret desires. The carnival's leader is the mysterious "Mr. In dealing with the creepy figures of this carnival, the boys learn how to combat fear.

Dating Nick immerses Bex in ritzy society, dazzling ski trips, and dinners at Kensington Palace with him and his charming, troublesome brother, Freddie. ![]() And when Bex can't resist falling for Nick, the person behind the prince, it propels her into a world she did not expect to inhabit, under a spotlight she is not prepared to face. Yet it's Bex who seeks adventure at Oxford and finds herself living down the hall from Prince Nicholas, Great Britain's future king. Her twin sister, Lacey, has always been the romantic who fantasized about glamour and royalty, fame and fortune.

But the devil is in the detail and the devil is, of course, central to this story of mortality, a blend of Faust with It's a Wonderful Life. It's hard to know what part translation has played here as it is always harder to translate a demotic voice from one language to another. But seemingly I haven't gone wrong because when the unnamed protagonist's cat Cabbage begins to speak halfway through the novel, he reveals he doesn't like this food either.Ĭabbage's voice is a little clichéd he speaks "like an upper class gentleman. ![]() I wondered again where I went wrong with my cat-rearing.

What does Fanon mean when he says “the infrastructure is also a superstructure” in colonialism? ![]() But unfortunately, this leads the nation in an authoritarian or dictatorial direction, similar to how things were under colonialism. As a result, the national bourgeoisie, who are elites based in cities, turn to the popular leader in order to gain the consent of the rural masses. His charisma and stories of war impress the rural masses. The popular leader is a charismatic figure, usually a veteran of the anticolonial violence. What is the role of the “popular leader” after independence? Through violence, they develop a new post-colonial consciousness. But when the colonized begin to use violence against the colonial powers, they unlearn their submissiveness. Through violence, it teaches the colonized that they are powerless. Violence is the original means by which the colonist subjugates the colonized. What is the role of violence in colonialism?
