Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
11/1: original and translations
Today I had some extra time and so got to work on a translation-comparison assignment for next week. I got to choose a Greek passage from Sophocles' Antigone and think about how to explain its workings to a class of students who (with one exception) don't know Greek. And then I got to compile published English translations of the passage for students to compare/contrast. This is all a good kind of work.
