[Alexander Yakovlev's Aeolus]
Perhaps the most striking feature of the “Aeolus” episode of James Joyce’s Ulysses is the presentation of headlines. Phrases such as “IN THE HEART OF THE HIBERNIAN METROPOLIS,” “HOW A GREAT DAILY ORGAN IS TURNED OUT,” “MEMORABLE BATTLES RECALLED,” “A COLLISION ENSUES,” “EXIT BLOOM,” and “CLEVER, VERY” are set off from the rest [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=massthink.wordpress.com&blog=1121278&post=924&subd=massthink&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Walter Mignolo’s The Darker Side of the Renaissance explores different practices of representation/expression (literature, history, cartography) and the way in which in their respective registers (language, memory, space) they have been shaped and utilized by the imperial power (Europe, Spain in particular) for its colonizing project (of the Americas).[1] [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=massthink.wordpress.com&blog=1121278&post=903&subd=massthink&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
