Philadelphia anthropologist, playwright and poetic ethnographer Kimmika Williams-Witherspoon recently collaborated with photographer Joseph V. Labolito on a project where she performed a poem to accompany his 1980s shot of a little girl hanging out with her dad. Here's what she wrote — seven stanzas of pure love called "There Are Black Fathers; To Daddy, Father's Day, June 19, 1983" — how she composed it, and what it means. "Because of stereotypes and popular culture – media, movies, news stories – that tend to demonize and pathologize Black men, there’s a myth that men in our communities are all cut from the same cloth," she told @TheConversationUS. "For me, the poem discounts that stereotypical narrative and celebrates the African American men that I knew growing up – Daddy, my uncles, the deacons in our church, the neighborhood dads on my block."

"Within the larger metaphor Banks is building, the relationship between politics and strength is supposed to be the other way around. The #Culture is not good because they are strong. Their strength is a metaphor for their goodness. They have the best technology because that shows that they are rational, that they value intelligence, that they are motivated to give their citizens the best possible quality of life.

[...] What the broligarchs’ love of the Culture series reveals is that they see the world through the lens of power and spectacle first and foremost, and have no particular problem evading the work’s deeper meaning"

"If you’ve ever wondered what it was like to work as a #Jewish #districtattorney in #Soviet #Ukraine during the post-#Stalinist era, now’s your chance to find out. Marat Grinberg, a scholar of #Russian and #Jewish #literature, #culture and #film at Reed College, has expertly translated the #memoirs of his grandfather, Mikhail Goldis (1926-2020), who worked as a district attorney and #detective in Ukraine for three decades and wrote his memoirs in the U.S. in the early 1990s.

The book is comprised of chapters devoted to different cases that Goldis is expected either to solve or preside over. In most instances his voice is technical; he plays the part of an observer rather than a critic. It’s clinical in some instances rather than passionate, but every scene to which he bears witness and every conversation in which he engages is worthy of attention."
