October 27, 2013 by William Eaton

A Week of Reading from . . . William Eaton, Zeteo Executive Editor [One in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading. Click for pdf of text of this entire week.] 27 October 2013: Brecht When this feature, one of my favorite parts of Zeteo, was getting under way, I suggested to my colleagues: Imagine you were strolling down Fifth Avenue or through Central Park and were taking pictures of people and scenes that caught your […]

Reading 8-14 September 2013 (ZiR)

September 11, 2013 by Ana Maria Caballero

Ana Maria Caballero, Zeteo Contributor [One in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading.] 9 September 2013 It’s hard to say how truly controversial an article written on poetry can really get, since the controversy will always be limited to the interested few. So is the case with a column published by the Chicago Tribune titled “Where competency ends, poetry begins.” And subtitled “Here’s a radical idea: a little imagination would go a long way.” It stirred […]

Reading 1-7 September 2013 ZiR

September 4, 2013 by William Eaton

Rachael Benavidez, Zeteo Associate Editor [One in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading.] 3 September 2013 I’m reading way too much right now, if that’s even possible, and it’s all rather intense. I just finished Aimé Césaire’s Discourse on Colonialism (1955). His harsh criticism of colonialism’s poetic nature serves to further emphasize the emotional impact of his subject matter as he notes that in order for the colonizer to “civilize” the colonized, he must transform himself. …. They […]

Cultural meltdown: 18-24 August 2013 (ZiR)

August 20, 2013 by Alexia Raynal

Alexia Raynal, Zeteo Managing Editor [One in an ongoing series of posts. For the full series see Zeteo is Reading.] 18 August 2013 I’ve recently heard my friends speak about seemingly “new” neighborhoods. They talk about SoHa and SoBro—which really mean South Harlem and South Bronx. . .the revitalized self in them. I guess they call them that way to avoid negative stereotypes. How would people judge them if they were to speak of the slummy Bronx, or untamed Harlem? I bet they’d […]

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 (Short) Week of Reading: 11-15 September 2012

September 11, 2012 by William Eaton

From Paul Kelly, Zeteo Chief Copy Editor 11 September 2012 I read in today’s Guardian about proposed UK legislation regarding evidence given in civil trials of those claiming damages against the government for rendition and the abuse suffered in those places of confinement, including but not limited to Guantanamo Bay. The new legislation would allow members of the intelligence services to give evidence in secret, to protect themselves and their political superiors, all in the name of protecting state secrets. […]
