💡 A Postcolonial Trend in the Historiography of International Law? We're excited to highlight an article by our Postdoc @micheletedeschini.bsky.social‬! He argues that any account of the past is also an act of constructing authorial identity. 🔗

I have a new article out in the Journal of the History of International Law, and it's open access. I use Lacan and Spivak to think through a few postcolonial takes on the history of international law: Anghie + Parfitt + The Spirit of Bandung brill.com/view/journal...

Charlotte Brontë running a dagger right through my heart

Morgen im „Falter“.

Tributes and reflections on the legacy of Toni Negri usually mention Empire as his most accomplished academic work. In my view, a 1999 essay on Derrida's Spectres of Marx is possibly Negri at his best. Memorable the conclusion, to which I often return.

"Ainsi qu'il est habituel dans l'évolution concrète des choses, celui qui a triomphé et conquis la jouissance devient complètement idiot, incapable d'autre chose que de jouir, pendant que celui qui en a été privé garde toute son humanité." (Jacques Lacan, 30 Novembre 1955)

Day 6 of my first Covid run and I gotta say, the last few days have been SO heinous (has anyone else coughed up plastic-hard bits of phlegm) that I'm not sure the 'return to normal' this term was worth it. Seriously thinking about going back to my masked and cloistered life.
