In the recent Christopher Nolan film “The Odyssey” we see a curious depiction of Circe transforming Odysseus’ crew of sailors into pigs. The cinematic representation drips with Circe’s disdain for the sailors and their crude, vicious, animal-like qualities. Some suggest that Nolan’s departure in this regard from precise details of the Homeric narrative is driven […]

Here in the United States, history is a recent phenomenon. This summer, the U.S. celebrated its 250th birthday. That’s not nothing, of course, but it pales before many sovereign nations in Europe that have been around twice as long. Or three times. Or four. Or more. The oldest city in the U.S., however, goes back […]

On the publication of Oliver Goldsmith’s The Citizen of the World in 1762, the British Magazine described it as ‘Light, agreeable summer reading, partly original, partly borrowed’. In his Lectures on the English Comic Writers (1819), just over fifty years later, by contrast, William Hazlitt rather differently claimed that ‘For light summer reading, it is […]

Exhuming the body of nineteenth century anarchism to outline a […]

Transnational repression, understood as the extraterritorial repressive actions by states against members of their national community abroad, has become a global phenomenon. One commentator even suggested that “This is the golden age of transnational repression. More states now have more tools to target more exiles and diaspora communities in more countries for fewer resources than […]

Every day there is a media story about public opposition to immigration fueling the populist far-right in Europe. Academic public opinion research has a similar slant, with endless studies about why people oppose immigration. This could lead one to believe that Europeans all hate immigration. Especially as there is very little attention to support for […]

In the summer of 1999, I was studying English at a language center in Canada, one voice among hundreds of accents crowding the poster-lined hallways. A teacher there, Mr. Wilson, was not someone I had ever taken a class with, but he had a habit of stopping students in the hallway to correct them. One […]
