RSSThere’s a lot here. True to the title the conversation remains within
the academic discourse. This to my mind is a serous limiting factor
especially when looking for ways out of ‘our’ ‘Western’ conundrum,
whether we’re Jerusalemites or Athenians.
As the founders of the universities themselves proclaimed: the purpose
of Scholastic methods was “to stimulate its readers to resolve the
seeming (!) contradictions, not to discredit the principle of
authority. (Abelard 1079-1142; The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian
Church).
It is in my, non-academic opinion, M o n o t h e i s m that has
brought along the notion of choseness/exceptionalism — the One and
Only Male God bestowing exception on Hu/mans over all of life,
initiating a battle against woman, nature and Time.
There is no such thing as “Matriarchal supremacy,” Gilad, there is
plural symbiosis, ‘a kinship with all life’ or War.
In this vein, mentioning Sarah Schulman’s book as having “Zero
Academic Value” is in my mind quite a complement that reflects well on
what little I know of the book (discloser, I have not read it) but I
know Sarah and I heard her read excerpts from her book and it
resonated in its deeply authentic, and truthful exploration of her
belated opening-up to the Palestinian realities. And acting out of her
own lived experiences she come up with an authentic, quite an original
(both huge No-no in Academe; and no need to snicker, Dr. Romanello)
action brining gay and lesbian Palestinians to campuses in the US. OK
it didn’t work, it didn’t bring the desired liberation to Palestine, too bad.
What is extremely important to continue explore and expose is how
money and NGO’s are, and have been for years, destroying all
grassroots initiatives all over the world; how all libratory efforts,
BDS included, have been hijacked, harvested, corrupted and branded.
“Are the “vaccinated” now creating the “variant” that can fell the “unvaccinated”?”
Please do share should you get an answer.
Am wondering myself. 1. Why are the “vaccinated” terrified of those who are not? & 2. Are the “vaccinated” a danger to those who are not?
