my review of Critique of Critique by Roy Ben-Shai--- "Critique of Critique of Critique": muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/…
Lots of great academic books out there. This is rarer: a necessary one. It shows how the humanities can be positive, productive, and joyful — not just critical and suspicious. If we’re going to make the field attractive again, it’ll be through books like this. A++
@EmpireSimulacre @acidhorizonpod An except of this wonderful book is in the History of the Present special issue!
Check out this terrific conversation on @acidhorizonpod with Max Tomba, Loren Goldman, and @OLSilverman about their special issue of History of the Present on Thomas Muntzer and the 1525 German Peasants Revllion @DukePress open.spotify.com/episode/200Ku7…

another new thunderbolt @OLSilverman: the idea of Utopia was born in the imagination of Thomas More as a counter-insurgent concept, an attempt to smooth over the tremors of popular revolt and early stirrings of communism..read about the Tale of Two Thomases (More & Müntzer) here!
