Knowledge for humanity / Le savoir pour l'humanité

[Amalion @Amalion]

@erikinscience @BrankoMilan Right about one of the roles of peer review! Authorship is an essential incentive to and for creativity. We go further from where authorship ends to where knowledge begins. What knowledge is being shared?

Dans le droit fil de l’imagerie coloniale, Charlie Hebdo incapable de confronter les idées d’une femme noire sans la réduire à un corps dansant, exotisé, supposément sauvage.
Ce dessin hideux vise à me rappeler ma place dans la hiérarchie raciale et sexiste.

"the novel as a genre tends toward excess. ... proliferation, the plot develops like a cancer. If the writer follows a novel’s every lead, it becomes a jungle. The ambition to tell the whole story is inherent in the genre... there comes a moment when you have to kill the story"

[The Paris Review @parisreview]

“Faulkner was the first novelist I read with pen and paper in hand, because his technique stunned me.”

We're deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Kenyan author Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o at the age 87. His words shaped and reshaped our grasp of African resistance and decolonisation under colonialism and the postcolonial era. Rest in power. #NgugiWaThiongo

🕊️ Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o est décédé ce 28 mai 2025, à l’âge de 87 ans.

Monument de la littérature africaine, il a consacré sa vie à la décolonisation des esprits et à la défense des langues africaines.
Rest in power
