Welche Folgen hatte & hat es, dass Soziologen imperialen Praktiken nicht nur ideell vorgearbeitet haben, sondern an ihrer Umsetzung auch institutionell beteiligt waren? Wie präsent ist die Vergangenheit in der Gegenwart des Faches – Nach den Imperien? www.hamburger-edition.de/zeitschrift-...

"...the share-price-motivated and buyback-driven public corporation, the extractive private-equity model, and the more exploitative closely held firm that dies with its founder all aim to take out as much money as possible, without much consideration for the future." jacobin.com/2021/04/take...

I solemnly swear that I had nothing to do with the creation of this graphic. But now that I’ve seen it I have to pass it on, lest it permanently haunt my dreams

In my new article, I suggest that we need a historically situated political economy perspective to understand the mainstreaming of the far-right - I show this via an analysis of the post-Brexit border regime in Britain: academic.oup.com/ips/article/...

I had a great time talking @danieldenvir.bsky.social of The Dig about the UHC CEO killing; inequality and mystified violence; gun violence and "healthcare" as indifferent, overlapping systems of human disposability; the history of "attentants"; morbid symptoms, the death drive, and much more

"Who's afraid of anti-racism?" This is not a rhetorical question 💁🏽‍♂️ please consider applying for this round table and sharing the post: Merci beaucoup 🙏

The latest @sociologicalreview.bsky.social Magazine issue is out and it’s about ‘Waste’. It offers a range of reflections on waste, wasting away, and wasted lives, thinking about gender, race and capitalism.

Amit Balmiki on the interlinkage of caste-deskilling-tourism-migration in Pokhara/Nepal: "many of the traditional waste workers ...'migrated to other countries, mostly Saudi Arabia and other countries, in search of better livelihoods. That is why we started working as sweepers.'”

"The Southern Questions series features first-hand accounts – memoirs, novels, pamphlets – written by participants in the drama of decolonisation and its aftermath. It also presents new histories, reportage, and literary criticism devoted to nations and regions in the South" @versobooks.bsky.social

Mark my words: This is going to become a classic. I particularly liked how it bridged between two rather different parts of Europe (Italy, Poland, Hungary), but it has too many virtues to narrate in a tweet. An instant add to 2+ of my syllabi: "Youth and Politics" & "Beyond the European Mainsteam."
