Punk? Academia
I'm making this as a separate post to @librarian-by-day's very good point on this thread about dark academia.
As funny as this vibe is, I think the original ‘darkness’ of dark academia has been lost. Donna Tartt’s The Secret History is a foundational text of dark academia. But this book is all about the trap of elitism in higher education. Which is legitimately a problem. As someone from the US, I think the ways higher education fails us, promotes elitism (and oppresses the working class), and ergo supports white supremacy culture SHOULD absolutely be critiqued. If anything, dark academia should be called punk academia…or something along those lines. I don’t want to hate on enjoying aethetics, because they are fun and creative. And its lovely to consider the way you present yourself as an artform. I just think there is so much power behind these kinds of critiques. But dark academia, so perfectly set up to challenge higher education in this way, doesn’t seem to go there. (Maybe I just haven’t found those critiques yet, though?)
Really, I think they said everything I might want to far better than I ever could. Thanks for calling attention to this very real problem that lies beneath the surface of the ivory tower. My humble addition is in the form of a few reading recommendations.
I had the privilege to teach a class about Indigenous research methodologies, taught by an Indigenous professor. As part of that class, we did a lot of reading about how to work within and against an inherently colonial, white supremacist organization like a university.
I would highly encourage everyone who works in/adjacent to academia to read these two books. Both of them offer important insights on the nature of academia, and how research can be a tool of or a vector for pushing back against structural and systemic inequality.

Against past and present genocides, against those who shoot at people and plan their dispossession, against those who kidnap, torture and murder those who fight and resist, against Milei, Villarruel and this Argentinian government of sinister Nazis, these Norma Plá's (please google her story) words are more than present. Memory and solidarity with the struggles of yesterday and today, 30,000 detained and disappeared comrades present! We do not forget, we do not forgive, we do not reconcile! From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

Stop policing how Palestinians react to the so-called Israeli anti-war or leftist movements. They do not owe anyone gratitude or praise for refraining from taking part in a genocide. They have every right to resent everyone outside of Palestine right now after 21,000+ people have been martyred.

Refuse to yield to propaganda which insists your understanding of the world is "primitive" or "unrealistic",
Who decides what is primitive vs. advanced?
Who decides what is real?
Refute Colonization.

But ultimately, I don't see feel/think as a dichotomy. I see them as a choice of ways and combinations.

Mural inStrasbourg in memory of 8 May, 1945, when the French colonial army massacred 45,000 Algerians in the towns of Setif, Guelma and Kherrata.
On the same day that the French celebrated liberation from foreign occupation, Algerians took to the streets to obtain their own. Those demonstrations were repressed in blood on the orders of the colonial French State.
Today still, French imperialism exploits and plunders the countries of Africa and sows wars between the people to preserve its economic interests.
Sétif, Guelma, Kherrata!
We don't forget! We don't forgive!

Слухаю лекцію креативної директорки Українського інституту Тетяни Філевської в PRJCTR Institute про українського генія “Малевич і авангард в Україні” (безкоштовна, доступні автоматичні ENG SUB). Класний матеріал, що відповідає на такі питання, як: чи може кожен малювати як супрематист? Скільки “Чорних квадратів” існує? Чим би займався Малевич, живи він зараз? Отримую щире задоволення від матеріалу.
Якщо ви вперше чуєте, що Казимир Малевич - українець (що не дивно, бо ж він по всьому світу підписаний як russian artist), то послухайте подкаст Культурний трибунал | Справа №3. Художник світового калібру, в якому журналістка Яна Супоровська розкладає все по поличках. Взагалі всі серії цього подкасту варті уваги: це віртуальні “судові засідання” про все змародерене росіянами, від музейних експонатів до цілих історичних постатей. Для того щоб поважати себе, мати суб’єктність, треба знати своє і обстоювати його.
Подобаються подкасти? Про Малевича та інших можна послухати дискусію Як нам повернути вкрадених митців? | Наразі без назви Богдани Неборак та Анастасії Євдокимової, посперечатися з ними в коментарях і збагатити свій активний вокабуляр новими виразами.
Дізнаватися більше про свою культуру, високе мистецтво, історію допомагає мені випрямляти спину та енергійніше поринати в життя.
