With this novel, the author attempts to scour the failure of progressive culture’s great projects of emancipation and education, as well as the failure to rework an ending and a trauma: those of a dualistic geopolitical system. more Blog Post Returning to Order through Realism bySantiago Zabala Law and Order is the familiar rallying cry for a generation of contemporary right-wing politicians from Poland and Turkey to Brazil and the USA. In the context of such a political program, difference, change, and cultural others must be avoided as disruptions of the safety that order is supposed to represent. more Blog Post Online Learning in the Time of Corona byMohammad Salama I grew up in the aftermath of Nasser’s Egypt, where public education was made free for all.

International scholars, artists, writers, and activists offer a range of timely perspectives on the Charlie Hebdo attacks. How a controversial Cervantes story and its French version help us reimagine early modern religion as circulation and mediation rather than sacralization How the treatment of gypsies changes from the Cervantine original to its French translation and adaptation.
