in one of my final seminars we discussed #Balibar and the impact of #LeftPopulism on real politics.

turns out none (!) of my (European, Dutch) students had ever heard of either #Podemos or #SYRIZA. they knew #Fidesz and #PiS, but left populism was a primarily theoretical concept to them.

that is perhaps a strong argument against it, no?

New blogpost, on #translation and @poetry

What kind of lived experience is it necessary for a translator to have? Is it possible for white authors to translate Black poetry? I argue that while, certainly, lived experience is important for poetry, this does not render translators incapable simply in virtue of their social location.
