Reading 26 May – 1 June 2013 (ZiR)

May 27, 2013 by William Eaton

Rachael Benavidez, Zeteo Associate Editor [One in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading.] 27 May 2013 I’m not ashamed to admit it—I’m reading J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. Again. I just needed a break from the scholarly texts that are comprised of information about the real world, which is sometimes a bit much. I usually allow myself a bit of leisure reading at the end of a semester. I love what I study. That’s why I do it, […]

Reading 25 April – 1 May 2013 (ZiR)

April 25, 2013 by William Eaton

William Eaton, Zeteo Editorial Adviser [One in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading.] 25 April 2013 “If I were to generalize,” the anarchist anthropologist David Graeber said recently to a reporter for The Chronicle of Higher Education, I would say that what we see is a university system which mitigates against creativity and any form of daring. It’s incredibly conformist and it represents itself as the opposite, and I think this kind of conformism […]

Reading 14-20 April 2013 (ZiR)

April 15, 2013 by William Eaton

Rachael Benavidez, Zeteo Associate Editor [One in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading.] 14 April 2013 To blog or not to blog. The question is does it make you a better writer? Maria Konnikova, a writer and a doctoral candidate in Psychology at Columbia University, argues that it does. In her article “Why Grad Schools Should Require Students to Blog” on the Scientific American blog, she discusses her experience working on her dissertation and how it helped her to […]

Kaufmann, Melville, Suntory time: 7-13 April (ZiR)

April 7, 2013 by Alexia Raynal

Alexia Raynal, Zeteo Managing Editor [One in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading.] 07 April 2013 I finally had the time to read The New York Times op-ed article from last Tuesday. In “Diagnosis: Human,” Harvard professor Ted Gup takes from his own loss to reflect on the lessons we miss from life, death, grief, and our (im)perfect way of coping with them through medication: Ours is an age in which the airwaves and media […]

Reading: 31 March-6 April 2013 (ZiR)

March 31, 2013 by fritztucker

Reading 31 March-6 April 2013 (ZiR) Fritz Tucker, Zeteo Associate Editor [One in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading.] 31 March 2013 On my recent trip to San Francisco, Marin, and Sonoma Counties–or what I, as a New Yorker, call upstate San Fran–I came across this funny sign in Point Reyes. From the picture it looks like the NO BARKING is a typo, or a graffiti alteration, particularly in light of the NO PARKING ANY TIME […]

March 27, 2013 by William Eaton

Reading 24-30 March 2013 (ZiR) Patrick Rea, MALS Student, Zeteo Contributor [One in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading.] 25 March 2013 I’ll quote from a person who knew Lincoln: I once heard Mr. Lincoln tell an anecdote on Col. Ethan Allen of Revolutionary notoriety which I have never heard from any one besides him and for your amusement I will try and tell it as well as I can. It appears that shortly after […]

Reading 17-23 March 2013

March 17, 2013 by William Eaton

Reading 10-16 March 2013 (ZiR) Rachael Benavidez, Zeteo Assistant Editor [One in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading.] 17 March 2013 Reading an article entitled “A Brief History of Applause” on The Atlantic Monthly website. No one knows exactly when or where applause originated, but what is fascinating about the article is that we have found new methods of “clapping our hands” when our hands cannot be heard. But we’re reinventing applause, too, for a world where […]

March 12, 2013 by Jennifer Dean

Reading 10-16 March 2013 (ZiR) Jennifer Dean, Zeteo Contributor [One in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading.] 12 March 2013 On the subway ride home from the company that rented me equipment for my weekend film shoot I started reading Martin Scorsese’s introduction to Vachel Lindsay’s The Art of the Moving Picture. Scorsese decided to publish books on film, paying homage to the books that affected him as a youth. He writes: Although film is primarily […]

Reading 3-9 March 2013 (ZiR) William Eaton, Zeteo Editorial Adviser [One in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading.] 3 March 2013 A reader on vacation—shouldn’t he be on vacation from reading, too? Before I headed off on my most recent not-quite-vacation, with half a dozen “serious” books and a Kindle, I read a piece in the Chronicle of Higher Education. It concerned “the insidious impact of new communication technologies on living and learning in another […]
