To find is the thing (ZiR)

November 12, 2012 by William Eaton

Zeteo is Reading / 12 November 2012 Rachael Benavidez N.B.: This is one in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading. 12 November 2012 Thinking about a quote from Pablo Picasso: In my opinion to search means nothing in painting. To find is the thing. . . . The one who finds something…, even if his intention were not to search for it, at least arouses our curiosity, if not our admiration…. When I paint, […]

A Storm-Battered Week of Reading: 28 October-3 November 2012

October 28, 2012 by William Eaton

From Dianne Stone, Zeteo Assistant Editor 28 October 2012 Reading today Marc Santora’s New York Times article on Hurricane Sandy as I scurry to hole up for the next couple of days in a nice dry spot and load up with fresh water. Santora points out that all over the mid-Atlantic, 50 million or more Americans are in this same predicament as Hurricane Sandy makes its presence known. Santora notes, “[s]andbag  joined the Halloween scarecrows,” so  I hope everyone in the region is […]

A Week of Reading: 21-27 October 2012

October 22, 2012 by William Eaton

From Rachael Benavidez, Zeteo Assistant Editor 21 October 2012 Reading Tolstoy’s early short novel The Two Hussars. Tolstoy expresses his longing for the previous generation in the story of Count Turbin, who endears himself to the inhabitants of a small provincial town, and his son, also Count Turbin, who appears in the town twenty years later, and unable to live up to the image of his father, makes the opposite impression. Interesting how we long for what was… Also reading the New York […]

A Week of Reading: 7-13 October 2012

October 7, 2012 by William Eaton

From Phillip Rhinehart, Zeteo Assistant Editor 7 October 2012 Editorial spin, an exercise; or how to make bigotry palatable with continual reference to a Chuck Bartels article: Samples from the original: Arkansas Republicans tried to distance themselves Saturday from a Republican state representative’s assertion that slavery was a “blessing in disguise” and a Republican state House candidate who advocates deporting all Muslims. Fuqua, who served in the Arkansas House from 1996 to 1998, wrote in his 2012 book God’s Law that there is “no solution to […]

A Week of Reading: 30 September-6 October 2012

September 30, 2012 by William Eaton

From Maryam Moeini-Meybodi, Zeteo Publicity/Outreach Coordinator 30 September 2012 The first thing I saw this morning was the below quote from Marc and Angel Hack Life‘s website. After a long and busy week, this was the first thing I needed to see: It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you aren’t really living at all – you’re merely existing.  You cannot always wait for the perfect time; sometimes you must dare to jump.  Sometimes all you need […]

A Week of Reading: 23-30 September 2012

September 24, 2012 by fritztucker

From Fritz Tucker, Zeteo Assistant Editor 23 September 2012 While reading Tyler Anbinder’s book Five Points for a New York history class, I came across a quote from a Chinese-American, from the 1870′s. My eye was caught by the description of America as “the country of the wizards,” and Americans as wealthy “barbarians.” I was reminded of the year I spent in India and Nepal, where America continues to be viewed by many as the land of opportunity. The people I […]

Mobility: 16-22 Sept 2012 (ZiR)

September 17, 2012 by Alexia Raynal

From Alexia Raynal, Zeteo Assistant Editor 16 September 2012 I would like to begin this week of reading by calling attention to one of Kitty Calavita’s most recent books: Invitation to Law and Society (University of Chicago Press, 2010.) There, Calavita argues that legal constructions shape human behavior, and, in turn, human behavior shapes legal constructions. As I was reading her friendly “invitation,” I came to wonder if non-legal citizens can also shape the way that a country creates legal constructions. […]
