The late, great CD Wright is going to be honored at Post45 Contemporaries with an incredible, moving, expansive cluster of essays edited by @aliciaawwright . We are SO excited for this cluster, and we’ll be debuting it this week. Stay tuned for these pieces!

This ‘flash’ by Krasznahorkai is so teachable. A maestro of temporal fugues and forked tongues, K runs the gamut in form/genre, often mixing or shifting pieces into larger works. Neologisms, “petcocks,” as rendered by @caringerel! Also: the way he works two-sides of tenses!

I am so proud and excited to finally be able to share something that’s been in the works for months. Introducing…MID THEORY COLLECTIVE: a space by and for early career scholars in the humanities to think, learn, read, and write together:

Mid Theory Collective is a true labor of love: to build the kind of space that we want to be in, that we want to invite others in to. For a brief history of how this project came to be, check out this essay by our genius editor in chief @farahbakaari:

I couldn't be more thrilled with our Post45 issue celebrating TCM's 50th. So grateful for the brilliance and collaborative spirit of my co-editor @InfraBrutalism and Post45 editor @franciscondine, along with stunning contributions by @multimimetica , @kayteterry and more!
On October 1, 1974, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre premiered in Austin (the wider premiere was October 11). October 1, 2024 is the 50th anniversary of this premiere, & we've got a cluster for it!

Fredric Jameson has passed--what an unmatched American intellectual presence for the last 50 (at least) years. "Marxism and Form" is his best book, imho, but my favorite line of his comes from "Brecht and Method": "History puts its worst foot forward." Rest in Power, Fred.
