Galaxies, including our Milky Way, contain giant clouds of fine dust that are light years across the ingredients for future generations of planetary systems like ours. Its a glimpse of the future: In 5 billion years, the sun will swell to engulf Earth. Dust is most commonly bits of rock or carbon-rich, soot-like grains, but in the outer solar system, far from the Suns warmth, its also common to find tiny grains of ice as well. In Thacker's hands, philosophy is not academic logic-chopping instead, it is the thought of the limit of all thought, especially as it dovetails into occultism, demonology, and mysticism.

In the Dust of This Planet explores these relationships between philosophy and horror. 4 hours ago &0183 &32 Dust intrinsically links Earth’s sands, skies, and seas. To confront this idea is to confront the limit of our ability to understand the world in which we live - a central motif of the horror genre. In this book Eugene Thacker suggests that we look to the genre of horror as offering a way of thinking about the unthinkable world. The world is increasingly unthinkable, a world of planetary disasters, emerging pandemics, and the looming threat of extinction. ![]()

![]() Smith describes this as “research through imperial eyes”. Their stories became accepted as universal truths, marginalising the stories of the Other. Under this Western paradigm, colonisers, adventurers and travellers researched the indigenous Other through their “objective” and “neutral” gaze. In the first part of the book, Smith deconstructs the assumptions, motivations and values that inform Western research practices through exploring the Enlightenment and Positivist traditions in which Western research is viewed as a scientific, “objective” process. The second part focuses on setting a new agenda for indigenous research. The first part discusses the history of Western research and critiques the cultural assumptions behind research by the dominant colonial culture. According to Smith, “decolonization” is concerned with having “a more critical understanding of the underlying assumptions, motivations and values that inform research practices”.ĭecolonizing Methodologies is divided into two parts. ![]() Smith challenges traditional Western ways of knowing and researching and calls for the “decolonization” of methodologies, and for a new agenda of indigenous research. ![]() Professor Linda Tuhiwai Smith’s (Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Porou) essential text Decolonizing Methodologies is an extensive critique of Western paradigms of research and knowledge.

Judgement Day has been making its rounds in the rumor mill for a while, and the way the first Eternals film ended, it makes perfect sense.Īs a quick refresher, Eternals ended with Sersi ( Gemma Chan), Phastos ( Brian Tyree Henry), and Kingo ( Kumail Nanjiani) being taken by Arishem, who is angered by their actions. Judgement Day seems to be poised for an adaptation in Eternals 2. One of the latest Marvel comic events, A.X.E. While the films and series are rarely a one-for-one adaptation of the source material, there is so much we can gather about the general direction of these Marvel Studio films and how they impact the larger MCU.

When the author reached college in 2004, she surpassed Rachael as an athlete and received an invitation to play in the FIFA Under-19 Women's World Championship in Thailand. Eventually, this passion for social justice became the cornerstone of Rapinoe's stances on such issues as LGBTQ+ rights, pay equity in sports, and the Black Lives Matter movement. “My sister and I have this in common: nothing riles us up more than bullying, cheating, unfairness,” writes the author. As their soccer skills developed, the sisters discovered a passion for justice of all kinds. Both began playing soccer on a boys team at age 6 and quickly overshadowed peers with their "instinctive hand-eye coordination and physical fearlessness.” Later, they played on an all-female team their father created until both were selected to join a bigger, more competitive one in Sacramento. ![]() Early in childhood, she and her identical twin, Rachael, revealed exceptional physical gifts.

Our heroine, Kim, is a former street thief, who used to live on the streets of London, masquerading as a boy, and now lives in a fine house in London as the ward of Richard Merrill, a.k.a. It’s technically a sequel… but I got along just fine without having read the first book (titled Mairelon the Magician). Basically, this is a Regency Romance with magic. Georgette Heyer meets Diana Wynne Jones (though without quite the ridiculously wild shenanigans/characters and not as uproariously funny, yet still amusing in its own right) in a Jonathan-Strange-esque historical fantasy setting. ![]() ![]() ( Also note: both books are available in a collection titled A Matter of Magic, which has the added perk of having a nicer cover than either volumes do alone.)

At the same time, local production was focused on supplying the soldiers on the front line.
