Joanna Latimer on 'Manifestly Haraway'
No full textIn this article I review Donna Haraway’s book,’Manifestly Haraway’, that brings together the Cyborg Manifesto, The Companion Species Manifesto and a Companion Conversation with Cary Wolfe. What I want to do is show how Haraway’s work taken together is inspiring and revolutionary, offering us a basis for thinking differently about how we can intervene in dominant power relations in ways that are not simply critical but constructive of new ways of doing and being a social scientist. So like Foucault before her she offers not just exceptional tropes to think with – the cyborg, the companion species – but practices, ways of thinking and writing and relating, through which to make worlds differently. Making kin, becoming-with – not post-humanism but compost – these are the messages of her manifestos for doing our theorising and our researching differently

No full textThis is one of four twelve-page oversized (9 x 11¾) pamphlets I bought from Marie Gervais together. There seem to be two others in the series beyond these four. The illustration style is highly reminiscent of that found in several works: Les Plus Belles Fables d'Animaux, published in 1982 by Deux Coqs d'Or; El arca de las Fabulas, published in 1983 by Sigmar in 1983; and work published in English in 1979 by Falcon Books. The surprise is that the artist listed for those is Sergio Cavina, while these pamphlets are explicit in proclaiming P. Latimer as the illustrator. The bibliographical notes here mention a 1976 copyright by Falcon. Someday this mystery will be solved. Here five fables get either two or three pages each, with an abundance of clever and fine-grain illustrations. Though La Fontaine does not seem to be mentioned, these prose fables seem to follow La Fontaine's versions. Readers of this volume will remember particularly the images of the mosquito as a traveler with satchel and umbrella; of the mosquito upbraiding the sweating horse; and of the weasel stuck in the hole through which he had entered leaner.Language note: Frenc
Letter Written by George T. Latimer to the Bryant College Service Club Dated January 25, 1943

Dear Sir,
I just received a letter from my mother saying that you had written her concerning the candy you sent me for Christmas. I’m very sorry you did not hear from me.
I received the candy at Mitchel Field, N. Y. after it had gone to Florida and back. I received it just before Christmas when I [was] just about to leave for home. I’m sure I wrote when I got back but there is a possibility I forgot because I’ve been jumping around quite a lot. I’ve been to Westover Field since and am now at Hillsgrove.
I would like you to know that I appreciate your sending the candy and hope you will forgive my forgetfulness if I did forget.
Sincerely yours, George T. Latimer [Transcription ends

Dear Sir,
I have just received your package and letter with the latest news from Bryant. I’d like to express my appreciation and thanks to you and all the members of the Bryant Service Club.
I am still down here at Hillsgrove but we have been requested to have our address listed a little differently. The one above is the way it should be.
Glad to hear that Mr. Shors and Mr. Hammond have received their commissions. I hope they do as well in the army as they did at Bryant. I’m sure they will.
From your letter, I can see that everyone is working hard. I know how they’ll feel in the summertime. Last summer, I was attending a radio school in St. Louis, which I believe is one of the hottest spots in the country. However, there were plenty of things to compensate for the heat. The people in St. Louis are very hospitable and go to great lengths to keep the boys happy. I believe it rates second to New England. I was out there and in the south for ten months so you can be sure it felt pretty swell to back home in New England. I don’t know how long I’ll be here but I intend to enjoy myself while I’m here.
I hope everyone did well in the exams as I’m sure everyone did (?).
Sincerely yours, (Pvt.) George T. Latimer [Transcription ends
The Case Against Localism

Sunil Dasgupta talks with political theorist and author Trevor Latimer about his new book. Small Isn’t Beautiful, where he takes on the widespread presumption that the government closest to us is necessarily the best. Local news re LGBTQ+ book protests, Maryland opens to marijuana, and the Anacostia River opens to swimming after a half-century. Music from the band Finster.

Dear Sir,
I just received a package you sent to me at Hillsgrove. It had been moving around for quite a while but it arrived in perfect shape. It was a very nice package and I\u27d like to thank all the persons in the club who send these things to the men in service.
It was an unexpected pleasure to receive a package way over here. This is so far from everywhere that it is nice to receive something from home.
Sincerely yours,George T. Latimer[Transcription ends

The bibliographical notes here mention a 1976 copyright by Falcon. Someday this mystery will be solved. Here five fables get either two or three pages each, with an abundance of clever and fine-grain illustrations. Several work off of better known fables. The Revenge of the Old Dog features a lame forgotten old dog who learns to dig up truffles and so wins his master's renewed love. The Monkey and the Giraffe has a monkey who falls on a giraffe's head and enjoys sliding down his long neck. The monkey can repay the giraffe by getting tender foliage for him from the highest branches. They become friends and enjoy each other. This story has one of the pamphlet's two best illustrations: the annoyed giraffe looks up toward the monkey who has plopped onto his head. The Donkey and the Lyre seems to embellish the standard Iriarte fable: he talks a good game about playing the lyre but cannot do it. The Eagle and the Dove puts together two fables I know. The eagle begins by offering to protect the doves from a marauding stone marten. He proceeds to carry away one dove after another, eating them as soon as each is out of sight of the others. The Bat and the Two Cats embellishes the standard fable by having the bat compliment each of the two cats on his particular strength, respectively against mice and against birds. The illustration of the pondering cat is the other outstanding illustration here.Language note: Frenc
