polis: Revisiting Henry Miller's Paris
Brassaï claims that a large reason why Miller came to Paris is that he felt he could live a more dignified life in the midst of poverty than in the American city, where being poor was viewed as a "moral failure," a commentary on the differing experiences of poverty and class between American and French global cities with which I am grappling today.

Wikileaks could be thought of as the 2010 Conceptual Art masterpiece: It reveals and mediates contradictions and tensions from nearly every angle one looks at it. And not just any contradictions, but the key ones for this unfolding century. Let us look at some of these issues in detail.
Transmedia: A Naive But Omnivorous Form - JawboneTV
by gregg
there is no clear agreement on what defines a transmedia project, though Henry Jenkins, MIT Professor and author of the canonical Convergence Culture, has defined 7 core principles of transmedia narrative.
More generally I’d argue that all transmedia properties exhibit the following four properties:
1. all platforms are considered from the inception of the project as valid vehicles to support narrative;
2. different platforms are used to tell different aspects of a story;
3. participation and sharing is encouraged (but not necessary);
4. while users are encouraged to draw connections between platforms, stories can exist separately from one another in the fictive universe.
Like any genre it’s defined by cliché, so many transmedia properties feature one or more of the following: a conspiracy theory, a young girl in peril, a kidnapping, some hackers, a sinister corporate organization subverting the state, a pandemic, an eco-disaster, a war in Africa/the Middle East, terrorists, CCTV cameras you can hack, clues in the source code that require you to phone a journalist’s mobile answering machine, etc…

“Popular culture demands more of us and our children than most of the classics ever did. In Pokémon, each character has antagonisms, friendships, powers, weaknesses, multiple states of being. It’s more complex than the periodic table. And schools say our kids can’t learn 12 Greek gods. This is what they’re learning on the playground. ”

"Jen: I wonder if they’re going to auction one of those, do you think?
Cusick: You know what, I gave it back because they did give me one that I auctioned off. I thought I couldn’t steal one and auction one off. You know what I mean?"

Mist by Henry David Thoreau
by tadeufilippini
Low-anchored cloud,
Newfoundland air,
Fountain head and source of rivers,
Dew-cloth, dream drapery,
And napkin spread by fays;
Drifting meadow of the air,
Where bloom the dasied banks and violets,
And in whose fenny labyrinth
The bittern booms and heron wades;
Spirit of the lake and seas and rivers,
Bear only purfumes and the scent
Of healing herbs to just men's fields!
Henry David Thoreau

Les baisses d’impôts préconisées par les politiques de l’offre sont néfastes aux salaires, par Henry Liu
by marco
Dans une économie à bas salaires, pour soutenir la demande, on propose aux salariés de l’argent facile sous forme crédits subprimes, au lieu de payer aux consommateurs des salaires décents, créant ainsi des profits fictifs pour le secteur financier au détriment du secteur manufacturier.
Save Money The Scottish Way
