Roll Right Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hey - I'm curious about the reading projects that folks are engaged in right now. Take a moment and share them with the forum. I'm reading: From Max Weber: Essays in Sociology (Gerth and Mills) Rethinking Secularism (Edited by Calhoun, Jurgensmeyer, and VanAntwerpen) The Mental and the Material (Maurice Goldelier) - This is an awesome text!!! And I'm about to join a reading group for Marx's Grundrisse, pretty excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatishistoryanyway Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Marx at the Margins by Kevin Anderson Planet of Slums Mike Davis GRE Study guides. Might as well improve that score. Those are really the only book projects I'm working on right now. Spending the rest of my time looking for work during my gap year and writing a few pieces (I'm considering whether or not I should start a blog or something. Just to, you know, continue working on my writings skills or something). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breaks0 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Thank you for the reminder on the last 1 history. I should check out the Anderson too. Am preparing two talks for a semi-academic conference in NY at the end of May, one on Badiou, the other partly inspired by David Harvey on India. Last year i got offered publication of an article based on my talk at the same conference, hoping lightening strikes twice this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmu Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 More of a human geographer but right now I'm reading The Tyranny of Experts by Easley (interesting, if a bit problematic at points), The Whale and the Reactor by Winner (fascinating), and The Deleuze Reader (a great resource for piecing together the arguments in his many books.)
