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
3/14: a lightbulb moment
One of my students is trying to put together a research project for the summer but is having a little trouble coming up with something that will work well idea-wise, strutcture-wise, time-wise, and ability-wise. This morning I thought of a comparison project involving various translations of Vergil's Aeneid that I think will work very well and that gives the student a focus and structure but also space to make the project their own. And there are some recent translations of the Aeneid that seem like they'll be interesting to work on and explore.
