Republican congressman calls for halting of disaster relief to California

Warren Davidson of Ohio says aid should be withheld until the state ravaged by wildfires reforms forestry management

The Guardian

It’s so refreshing to be reading an older #philosophy book that has true #footnotes instead of #endnotes. In addition to the obvious, it reminds me of a conversation with my favorite philosophy professor — when I complained about the frustration of dealing with endnotes, having to bounce back and forth between text and notes, he said “Oh, I just read all of the endnotes first, and then read the text itself.” Would that I could.

Personal observation. I've written my fair share of articles, books & other stuff. As not so uncommon in the Humanities, especially if you're not one of the "big names," you don't get many citations, even on well-received publications. The one time I wrote a chapter about #VideoGames & the use of the #Paratext concept in #GameStudies, in a bit of an odd anthology, it turned out to be by far the most famous piece of academic text I have ever written! Published in 2015, it just keeps on giving 😂

Today brings the latest edition of #TheXenopod on #AlienVsPredator: @simonxix & @JimGR on why the #film doesn't work, how its white supremacist premise fits into racialised readings of the films, and its weird contested position as a #paratext in the multi/#transmedia franchise.

...i feel like #paratext is a piece i've been missing from my art. i keep sending little cards with hand-written notes to go along with my art packages, & now i realize these are paratexts: a little extra text to help you understand what you're looking at. i love it. y'all are about to get 20 pages of paratext with every art order lol.

wow, i'd never heard of paratext!!!:

"How can fiction contribute to the “truth” that the Uluru Statement asks us to tell? Allen and Unwin’s answer to that question is, in part, one of paratext. By composing a book’s paratext, a publisher addresses the reader about how to experience the book. The paratext of Paul Daley’s Jesustown includes 12 signed commendations on the first four pages and a four-page “Author Note” at the end of the story." https://theconversation.com/paul-daleys-jesustown-a-novel-of-lurid-postcolonial-truth-telling-185498

Paul Daley's Jesustown: a novel of lurid, postcolonial truth-telling

Tim Rowse concludes that Paul Daley’s new novel, inspired by true events in Arnhem Land, is fluent and skilfully paced – but doesn’t risk complicating the critical narrative of our colonial history.
