Friends, it's a new academic year, and I come with news for those of you interested in #PoliticalEconomy, the development of the #UnitedStates (political and economic), and the US in a #comparative framework.
Noam Maggor, Sofia Valeonti, Ariel Ron and I are launching a new website: https://www.politicaleconomylab.org/
It's a companion to our scholarly discussions on all of the above, and to our monthly Zoom seminar (and after our Paris conference of last May).
Come check it out!

Happened across this book. Looks cool, but how can it be "a #comparative study of #breath and #breathing as a core #poetic and compositional principle in modern #literature" if it doesn't discuss #qi #氣 (vital breath)?
Qi, and breathing more generally, are crucial concepts in #Chinese and #EastAsian #poetics over 2 millennia.
Books like this should be renamed "A Poetics of Breathing in 20th-century American, British, and German Literature."

New article from Arabic for Nerds:
"الصَّلاةُ خَيْرٌ مِن الْنَّوْمِ: “Prayer is better than sleep” – Is it really “better”?"
The Islamic call to prayer is a tricky construction. In Sunni Islam, the muezzin uses khayr (خير) which strangely denotes a comparative (better). Why?
