I've written a short piece on Aby Warburg's use of everyday photography to document the presence of ancient "Pathosformeln" (emotionally charged representations of the body) in his own time. Out both in IT and EN in a wonderful exhibition catalogue: lnkd.in/eeeS67yN

🟥 Today, academics in the Netherlands are striking to put pressure on the government to remove the devastating cuts to higher education that are still under discussion. Send solidarity! 🟥

🔴 Un barchino di ferro sta affondando ORA nel Mediterraneo centrale, circa 20 persone sono in acqua. Il nostro aereo Seabird è sulla scena. Abbiamo allertato tutti coloro che si trovano nelle vicinanze e le autorità competenti. Devono essere soccorsi e salvati subito!
These two guys have made my teaching so much better. Deeply grateful. – at Maastricht, The Netherlands

Is academic twitter dead? Only things I still see on this site are spam and mostly low-quality politics posts.
Starting an intro to philosophy course next Monday @FasosMaastricht and I found this short text "On the Very Idea of Western Philosophy" by @chrisschuringa quite useful as a discussion prompt for students

A huge loss. A great scholar and a sweet human being. RIP – at Maastricht, The Netherlands

Striking to see the difference in retribution / securities between 🇩🇪 and 🇳🇱 parts of the contract. But that's a bigger problem we won't solve until Germany finally decides to walk away from "Stipendium" formats for postdocs. (@HenkelStiftung - if you could set an example..)

It turns out they've known for days that the 🇳🇱🇧🇪🇩🇪 cross-border train is (yet again) interrupted due to rainfall + shortage of personnel. But @DB_Info only notify travellers about an hour before the trip. And needless to say, nobody organizes any substitutive transport
@DB_Info is accomplishing the ultimate level of reliability: when you buy a ticket, you can be almost 100% sure that the trip will be cancelled
In che senso "studenti" @you_trend? I seggi elettorali per fuori sede in Europa non sono per tutti i residenti all'estero? Come si fa a separare gli studenti dagli altri? – at Maastricht, The Netherlands
Nel voto degli studenti #fuorisede trionfa Alleanza Verdi Sinistra, che supera il 40%. Segue il PD (25,5%) e in terza posizione Azione (10,2%).
