@ethnopoetics It’s the last book I’m teaching, retiring this sept.

[steve coleman @caithne]

@ethnopoetics The Spicer article you cite is very good, thank you for this. The blindness he speaks of is now ingrained in so much anthropology this side of the Atlantic, maybe it’s a deafness at this point.

Thanks to the family of Hugh Shields, a digital version of 'Narrative Singing in Ireland: Lays, Ballads, Come-All-Yes and Other Songs', Hugh's landmark publication, is now freely available on ITMA's website.

As the ICJ case is today brought by South Africa against Israel for its genocide in Gaza, it feels kinda personally and politically relevant to the small part of Ireland I grew up in.

Muintir Gaza:
gan uisce
gan bhia
gan chógais
gan solas
gan chumarsáid
gan faoiseamh

Mórcheannairí an Domhain:
gan chluasa
gan súile
gan chroí
gan chrógacht
gan aibíocht
gan daonnacht

Go dtaga ár speiceas as an duibheagán ina bhfuil muid agus go bhfása síocháin ionainn uile.

@ethnopoetics For me it was Milton Singer and Val Daniel. I suspect that Singer influenced Silverstein, they were colleagues for a long time.

As Uisce Eireann starts its water conservation campaign, worth knowing that Meta's Clonee data centre consumed 838,654 cubic metres in 2022, double the next thirstiest DC it operates. And that 40 new large DCs are in planning. That's a lot of water.
