En la biblioteca de Ian Gibson: “Lorca me salvó de la desesperación” | EL PAÍS

Ian Gibson (Dublin, Irlanda, 1939-) en su biblioteca personal en Lavapiés (Madrid, España) comenta cómo su amor por Lorca se convirtió en una vocación y pasión que le salvó la vida:
"Te juro que me salvó de la desesperación. Mi hermano terminó sus días en una clínica y yo tengo la misma semilla plantada en mi persona. Me habría desesperado sin vocación. Cuando tienes vocación, puedes superar cosas depresivas y negativas, porque tienes ojos fijos en una meta. Yo no sé qué habría sido de mí sin Federico, si me atrevo a llamarlo así."
Obras completas de todos sus poetas, en especial de Lorca.
- El libro que comenzó todo:
The Bull of Minos (1955) de Leonard Cottrell (1913-1974), sobre las excavaciones en Troya y Grecia. Gibson soñaba con ser arqueólogo.
Gibson dice que repara que también hace arqueología: hay aventura e investigación en lo que hace.

Tres imprescindibles
-
Poesías completas (Aguilar Editor) de Ruben Darío (1967-1916) (profesor en Brooklyn sobre Darío).
Azul... (1988) de Darío (romance primaveral... nicaragüense, primaveral...).
- Romancero gitano (1928) de Lorca (1898-1936).
A pesar de su español "muy defectuoso", el francés y los cognados fueron de ayuda.
Romance de la pena negra.
Romance sonámbulo.
Magia en Lorca. Investigación. Hacer tesis sobre Lorca y "su mundo telúrico".
- Ulises (1920) de James Joyce (1882-1941). Ya lo leyó siete veces.
Gibson dice que Finnegans Wake es más difícil que Ulises, y que Luis de Góngora (su poema "Soledades") también es difícil y que hay que estudiarlo.
Descubriendo a Joyce más que antes. Lorca cuarenta años y ahora con Joyce...
- Libro que nunca prestaría
A Handbook for Travellers in Spain (Manual para viajeros por España y lectores en casa) (1845) de Richard Ford (1796-1858).
Viajeros románticos, británicos... Inspiración grande para Gibson.

the Deformed Humanities shares affinities with Ian Bogost’s notion of carpentry, the practice of making philosophical and scholarly inquiries by constructing artifacts rather than writing words.

Im Meer bei Florida wurde eine Oberflächentemperatur von 38,43°C gemessen – möglicherweise ein neuer globaler Rekord. Der Bericht des Guardian geht auf andere marine Hitzewellen und Studien über ihre Zunahme ein. Nach Daten der amerikanischen Wetterbehörde NOAA wurden in diesem Jahr schon im April, Mai und Juni Rekorde bei der Oberflächentemperatur der Ozeane gebrochen. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jul/25/florida-ocean-temperatures-hot-tub-extreme-weather

How I annotate books as a PhD student (simple and efficient)
She's definitely not morally against writing in her books, but there are so many highlights and underlining that it's almost useless.
She read the book four times because she didn't take good enough notes on it the first three times.
Bruno Latour's Down to Earth
Tools: - sticky tags (reusable) - purple for things that draw attention - yellow/green referencing sources, often in bibliography - pink/orange - extremely important - highlighter - Post It notes with longer thoughts she's likely to forget, but also for writing summaries in her own words
Interesting to see another Bruno Latour reference hiding in a note taking context. See https://hypothes.is/a/EbNKbLIaEe27q0dhRVXUGQ

Now, I've made a number of documentaries about fake news. And what interests me is the first person to use the phrase mainstream media was Joseph Goebbels. And he, in one of his propaganda sheets, said “It's very important that you don't read the mainstream media because they'll tell you lies.” You must read the truth by the ramblings of his boss and his associated work. And you do have to watch this. This is a very, very well-established technique of fascists, is to tell you, don't read this stuff, read our stuff.<br /> —Ian Hislop, Editor, Private Eye Magazine 00:16:00, Satire in the Age of Murdoch and Trump, The Problem with Jon Stewart Podcast

serotonin has another function: It can act as one of those molecular Post-it notes. Specifically, it can bind to a type of histone known as H3, which controls the genes responsible for transforming human stem cells (the forerunner of all kinds of cells) into serotonin neurons. When serotonin binds to the histone, the DNA unwinds, turning on the genes that dictate the development of a stem cell into a serotonin neuron, while turning off other genes by keeping their DNA tightly wound. (So stem cells that never see serotonin turn into other types of cells, since the genetic program to transform them into neurons is not activated.)
Serotonin can bind to H3 Histone and cause stem cells to become serotonin neurons.
This research led the same team to wonder if Dopamine might act in a similar way.
The serotonin paper is here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30867594/
-
they showed that the same enzyme that attaches serotonin to H3 can also catalyze the attachment of dopamine to H3 — a process, I learned, called dopaminylation.
The same enzyme that helps serotonin bind to H3 can also help dopamine bind to H3.

n the process of trying to assess Huntington’s views, it occurred to me that what is happening globally today resembles European experience in the Renaissance and Reformation era.
Similar point argued by Ian Goldin and Chris Kutarna in Age of Discovery: Navigating the Risks and Rewards of Our New Renaissance.

uring the primary race for South Carolina Trump said, “My opponents lie …Especially Cruz. He’s the single biggest liar I’ve ever seen.” He continued to effectively trademarked the name “Lying Ted Cruz” doing significant damage to Cruz’s election chances.
Good example of insulting language. The examples are interesting and reveal ad hominem (a fallacy RM associates with demagogues) but I'm not sure they are dehumanizing or demonization.
Interesting, lively analysis of Trump's rhetoric using RM as a lens. I do think you could zero in more on the characteristics she stresses. However, this is thoughtful and shows promise.
-
There is often an incredible amount of animosity between republicans and democrats and this is divide expands with demagogic rhetoric.
Yes, and I think these two dynamics reinforce each other.

While I could not find a source to confirm or deny the statistics Shieh gave on second hand smoke, many sources adamantly deny his claim that second hand smoke is harmless. However the majority of sources posting about the dangers of second hand smoke are special interest groups like the ones Miller talked about, so it is important to acknowledge their bias, and take their warnings with a grain of salt
Good work on claims and appeals for both texts.
I think you could push your evaluation of evidence, sources and strategies further. For example, you seem to accept Miller's claims that there is a monolithic "anti smoking lobby/special interest group," rather than lots of research from many different organizations.
You do start to look at Shieh's use of sources but this doesn't get far, and you could dig deeper into Miller's.

While I whole-heartedly agree that these skills are necessary to become a fully involved citizen, Boyd does little to teach these skill. Boyd focuses on why digital literacy is crucial to our new society, but it would be helpful for her to give ways to learn, or teach these skills.
Indeed. Although given how long books take to publish there may have been a strategic decision to outline a framework and leave it to others to fill in the details.
That is a project that could be investigated in this class.
-
She compares the need for media literacy today to that of post-WWI Britain, and the United States in the 60’s.
Yes - she suggest we face a comparable set of challenges, although one could argue the need is even greater today.

The ability to use technology to find information can only get you so far if you don’t understand where or who the information is coming from.
Good point, and surely one Boyd would endorse.
-
By telling students what sources to use or not use, you remove the need for a student to analyze a writing, and the biases and motives that may have influenced the data within it. Students should learn that sources coming from the most popular sites may hold extreme biases and may not be reliable even if they are the first result you can find doing a basic search.
Good discussion. Make sure to frame your discussion and analysis so it's clear when you are giving your view vs. describing Boyd's. Some "framing" language will help.
-
The phrase digital literacy describes a person’s ability to seek out information, and weed out information that may be either irrelevant or inaccurate.
Need to explain whose definition this is. Some use this - but Boyd thinks it is inadequate.
-
digital literacy is to break down the term, “digital natives”, and the connotations the phrase has
Yes, but I'd add another part of her purpose is to challenge its use and suggest we need new terms for talking ab out digital literacy.

Ong’s claims coincide with the claims of Young and Sullivan in that they both acknowledge that memory is the limiting factor of spoken word.
Yes, the texts clearly reinforce each other. The math example is used to support their claim that without writing their are important kids of thinking we cannot achieve.
-
You can also see that the spoken word is much more concise than the written story. The written version gives much more background to the story, and includes much more detail in the young king’s activities. This is because when speaking the audience can only retain so much in their memories. It is important for spoken word to minimize superfluous details, so that the audience can focus on relevant points. The written text allows for in depth descriptions of settings and characters because the reader is able to go back and re-read anything they did not retain.
Thoughtful discussion of Ong and the Sundiata text. I think you could discuss both in more detail. This starts to get interesting but finishes as the analysis takes shape. Give yourself more time in future homework assignments.
-
This supports Ong’s viewpoint that oral rhetoric holds more gravity than written word.
A bit vague - wasn't sure how this connects to Ong.
-
this kind of redundancy isn’t used solely to make the audience remember the words. This repetition adds an increased sense of drama and accomplishment when Sundiata finally is able to stand on his final attempt. While this kind of repetition would seem cumbersome in standard writing, this style would not seem so out of place in spoken word. This supports Ong’s viewpoint that oral rhetoric holds more gravity than written word.
Good point - there is a functional, mnemonic dimension and also an artistic one.

Pacific Science Congress
The Pacific Science Congress is in core meeting for the Pacific Science Association. These meetings take place every four years in various locations throughout the Asia- Pacific Rim and Basin. Various scientists, at different levels of expertise, present at the congress. Presentations are based on the central theme and have anywhere between 1000 and 2000 people in attendance. Each meeting has a President and a Secretary-General who represent them. The first meeting took place between August 2 and 20, 1920 in Honolulu, HI. The meetings and the
Starting in 1969, there have been twelve Pacific Science Inter-Congresses. These meetings are smaller and focus on a more central theme. They, like the Pacific Science Congresses, take place every four years, staggered between them. They also are located in similar locations in the Pacific region.
The article quotes Dr. Ian McTaggart-Cowan, who was speaking on August 26, 1975, during the 13th Pacific Science Congress in Vancouver, Canada at the University of British Columbia. Dr. McTaggart Cowan was the President for this meeting. For that year, the Pacific Science Congress's theme was “Sublethal Effects of Pollution on Aquatic Organisms”. Since this meeting, there hasn’t been another meeting in Canada or one with focus on the issues Arctic Canada faces. The most recent congress took place summer of 2016 in Taipai, Taiwan, with the theme “Sceince, Technology, and Innovation: Building a Sustainable Future in Asia and the Pacific.” These meetings are so important because they bring together a group of scientists with similar studies and interests. By presenting and sharing their ideas, scientists can work together to have a conscious and sustainable Pacific.
