robertogrecoPresident Trump on Friday signed an executive order that aims to eliminate seven federal agencies, including ones that focus on media, libraries, museums and ending homelessness… …The president targeted the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which is the parent company of Voice of America (VOA), as well as the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in the Smithsonian Institution and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, an agency that supports libraries, archives and museums in every state. He also dismantled the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, which aims to prevent and end homelessness in the U.S… (and more) (my emphasis) Libraries, museums, art galleries, and open universities (they all used to be, now they’re all closed) are what justify humanity: they are our glory, the pinnacle of human grace. It’s art and culture and creativity and imagination that, along with care, make humanity worth shit. (It should go without saying that the amount of money spent on libraries, archives and museums is a rounding error on Federal expenditures.) Care is the other thing that makes humans more than a bunch of brutal, murderous, rapist, cruel chimps. Universal health care, hospices, housing for the poor, food for the hungry: these are what redeem humans, that make us more than a waste of skin. Art and hospitals justify humanity. Caring for animals makes us more than beasts. I have no idea why some people want to be a bunch of murderous fucking chimpanzees, where the strong rule of the weak, and everything but power and money is denigrated. If you’ve never experienced real pain, go visit a burn ward or a psych hospital. Our bodies make us vulnerable to horror. In face of that horror, it is art, learning and caring for others that make the world more than just Hell. The people who laugh at prisoners being raped, who think that prisons should be about hurting prisoners, who think torture is acceptable, that mass murder of civilians is acceptable, become what they hate. Rapists by proxy, torturers by proxy. This doesn’t mean turning the other cheek. By all means we should defend ourselves from monsters. But in so doing we must not, ourselves, become monsters. To defund libraries, museums, archives (where our history is stored) and help for the homeless is to be a beast: less than an animal, since most social animals do care for each other. Libraries and public art galleries, in particular, are a ladder up and a solace. A place where anyone can go and experience the flower of human imagination, leave this world aside for a time and enter the worlds of creation. The internet is not a substitute, we can not be sure that the free resources here will remain free, and there is something extra to the physical presence of art and writing. Trump is a Philistine, and so are most of his supporters. The ideals of civilization, the highest expressions, are care and art."]]> civilization libraries museums art universities colleges education highereducation highered academia culture humanity humanities care caring donaldtrump policy funding society 2025 government governance archives memory history internet web writing experience imagination https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:d5dcb8a5d544/ 2025-04-11T20:52:31+00:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUdtXxzBVG0 robertogreco 2025 jenniferwaxman archives archiving libraries librarians climate climatechange environment globalwarming museums via:todrobbins history memory culture knowledge risk riskassement awareness policy planning https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:72934f8a3247/ 2025-04-04T16:53:23+00:00 https://2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/friday-2/ robertogreco audreywatters 2025 donaldtrump bigtech technology future philipbump politics policy thomaszimmer society us anarchocapitalism technofeudalism ai artificialintelligence marcandreessen siliconvalley technooptimism democracy education schools privatization jenniferberkshire museums libraries history dei inequality technosolutionism algorithms elonmusk rightwing farright fascism bigdata johnganz diversity work labor unions organizing highered highereducation colleges universities academia government governance teaching teachers howweteach eugenics heritagefoundation content edtech children childcare socialservices authoritarianism autocracy fossilfuels russia misinformation war https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:669de3762b27/ 2025-03-14T05:30:36+00:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X0FZKNJl-8 robertogreco 2025 algeria jewelers jewelery colonization colonialism northafrica muslimworld judaism jenniferbajorek alexandrakokoli emerykalema craft artisans frantzfanon revolution resistance decolonization correspondence form belonging identity ethniccleansing genocide zionism israel palestine gaza imperialism plunder revolt letters howwewrite academicfatigue crimes writing scholarship academia hannaharendt sylviawynter ariellaaïshaazoulay ummah maghreb archives jewelry france postcolonialism musilims africa muslimjews berbers berberjews algerianjews anticolonialism religion taxonomy taxonomies making unlearning ethnicity race middleeast borders butchery food ww2 wwii holocaust auschwitz art artmaking letterwriting creativity strategies history memory sound language arabic hebrew song oral aural voice sensorium racism museums silver ancestors gender anarchism communism socialism conviviality muslims islam nondumisolwazimsimanga metals knowledge knowledgetransmission prohibition interdictions destruction mines mining https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:0568e464ddc4/ 2025-02-07T20:13:54+00:00 https://timothyburke.substack.com/p/academia-what-they-are-about-to-take robertogreco timothyburke academia highered highereducation education journalism socialmedia substack elonmusk propublica us policy donaldtrump trumpism science research medicine psychology architecture museums economics information archives libraries zoos parks hillsdalecollege colleges universities https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:1d82f775b8d5/ 2025-01-17T18:42:24+00:00 https://2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/venture-capitals-epistemology-violent-masculinity-and-eugenics/ robertogrecoWe will sing of the great crowds agitated by work, pleasure and revolt; the multi-colored and polyphonic surf of revolutions in modern capitals: the nocturnal vibration of the arsenals and the workshops beneath their violent electric moons: the gluttonous railway stations devouring smoking serpents; factories suspended from the clouds by the thread of their smoke; bridges with the leap of gymnasts flung across the diabolic cutlery of sunny rivers: adventurous steamers sniffing the horizon; great-breasted locomotives, puffing on the rails like enormous steel horses with long tubes for bridle, and the gliding flight of aeroplanes whose propeller sounds like the flapping of a flag and the applause of enthusiastic crowds. The manifesto was a call for violence. Epistemological violence and literal violence. It is a call for violence. It is a demand to erase history, to re-inscribe hierarchy and order. Eugenics will be reaffirmed through today's discrimination engine: the Internet, the algorithm, AI. For all that AI seems to promise "the future of knowledge," this is a call for ignorance and for, as Helen Beetham puts it, a radical thoughtlessness. This is the antithesis of care – care and criticality are feminine, weak. This is the future, they tell us. But it is not a rupture. It is a continuation, a future unbroken from computing’s past. Over the past few decades, technology has played an instrumental role in neoliberalism and austerity – as we have dismantled public institutions and "the welfare state," we've told people they should just rely on the Internet instead. AI is absolutely the next step in this – as Sam Altman wrote in his latest blog post, "We believe that, in 2025, we may see the first AI agents 'join the workforce' and materially change the output of companies." The system wants us to be ever-more productive, and if AI cannot do that as an “agent” or “assistant” – that sure seems to be the bet the British government is making with its horrifying plans to "unleash AI" on its people – then workers will be fired. Perhaps replaced with robots, but more likely replaced with a more compliant, more precarious workforce. Technology enables this structurally, but it works for this culturally and intellectually as well, with its core ideological underpinnings — libertarianism, individualism. Technology has aided in the political project of reorienting the mission of institutions like schools away from civic goals (as well as away from any sort of human flourishing) and towards the goals of industry – hence all the talk about “technical skills” and “digital literacy” as the way in which children are supposed to “read” and interact with the world. Critical thinking (and critical theory) is, despite Paul Graham's vehement mischaracterizations, one way in which we can help students to understand the world, to understand its diversity – to deal positively, and dare I say generatively, with people and ideas that are different from their own. Despite all the handwaving about the importance of critical thinking and creativity for "the jobs of the future" (more on this in the coming weeks too), it seems clear that what the system wants is for us to be productive and be compliant. The algorithms (and the storytelling) it's unleashing will serve to identify those who it deems useless at best, dangerous at worst."]]> 2025 audreywatters paulgraham siliconvalley masculinity maga

humanity and embrace the state and its human masses. This is why millions outside the Western world are afraid of going to museums.” While I haven’t done a systematic survey of the size of museum doors around the world, it’s difficult to imagine any museum having wider doors than the Getty’s magnificent sliding glass portal through which visitors pass on their way out of the Entrance Hall toward the museum’s pavilions. The curved door, designed by Richard Meier, is so substantial that opening it requires the assistance of a machine to slide it along its curving track. Pamuk’s manifesto, however, is not a treatise on museum buildings, which has been an obsession for starchitects and their patrons. Rather, it expresses Pamuk’s love-hate relationship with our temples of culture. Pamuk—who before becoming a novelist dreamed of being a painter and architect—writes in the preamble to his manifesto: “I love museums and I am not alone in finding that they make me happier with each passing day. I take museums very seriously, and that sometimes leads me to angry forceful thoughts.” Pamuk’s manifesto envisions a different sort of museum for the future, one that presents humanistic and personal stories, rather than authoritative histories of nations and empires. Consider some of the other points of the manifesto: - Large national museums such as the Louvre…present the story of the nation—history, in a word—as being far more important than the stories of individuals. This is unfortunate because the stories of individuals are much better suited to displaying the depths of our humanity. - We don’t need more museums that try to construct the historical narratives of a society, community, team, nation, state, tribe, company, or species. We all know that the ordinary, everyday stories of individuals are richer, more humane, and much more joyful. - Demonstrating the wealth of Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Iranian, or Turkish history and culture is not an issue—it must be done, of course, but it is not difficult to do. The real challenge is to use museums to tell, with the same brilliance, depth, and power, the stories of the individual human beings living in these countries. - It is imperative that museums become smaller, more individualistic, and cheaper. This is the only way that they will ever tell stories on a human scale. - Monumental buildings that dominate neighborhoods and entire cities do not bring out our humanity; on the contrary, they quash it. Instead, we need modest museums that honor the neighborhoods and streets and the homes and shops nearby, and turn them into elements of their exhibitions. [image: The Museum of Innocence, Istanbul. Photo: Innocence Foundation and Refik Anadol, masumiyetmuzesi.org ] Pamuk enacted his manifesto by opening The Museum of Innocence in a modest 19th-century house in the Çukurcuma neighborhood of Istanbul, said to be the home where the novel’s protagonist Kemal Basmaci lived from 2000 to 2007. The museum shares more than a name with Pamuk’s novel, which has been translated into almost 40 languages. The written work and the museum were developed together from the beginning, as Pamuk collected over a thousand artifacts and knick-knacks in Istanbul’s junk shops and various other unanticipated locations to build his narrative. As ordinary objects—a quince grater, a postcard, some keys—became part of the story, they were infused with Kemal’s memory of his beloved Füsun, whom he cannot marry. (The book was published in 2008, four years before the museum opened.) The museum, which I visited last summer, consists of 83 numbered, lovingly crafted display cases corresponding to the 83 chapters in the novel, each containing objects connected to the book’s characters. (The museum does have at least one advantage over the book, as the audio guide notes: “This is a museum not a novel, so if you ever get bored, skip to the next section.”) The narrators on the museum’s audio guide lead listeners through the experience, situating the displayed objects in the lives of Kemal and those around him. The recorded voices frequently shift from explanations to monologues culled from Kemal’s thoughts as he recalls memories conjured by the objects. [image: A vitrine/chapter titled “My Father’s Death,” in the Museum of Innocence. Photo: Innocence Foundation and Refik Anadol, masumiyetmuzesi.org ] Here the boundary between the fiction of the story and the reality of objects bends. On the audio guide we hear the voice of Orhan Pamuk, the prize-winning author, who welcomes us to his museum and intermittently shares information about the museum-making process: “While making the museum, we frequently came face-to-face with the serendipitous nature of beauty.” But we also encounter the Orhan Pamuk who intimately knew Kemal, the novel’s protagonist, and who shares observations on his life of unfulfilled love. The characters of the novel come to life for us as we glimpse their experiences through display-case glass and accompanying words, much as the ancients might take shape in our minds as we see their artifacts and learn their mythologies. [Photo: Innocence Foundation and Refik Anadol, masumiyetmuzesi.org ] Do the Museum of Innocence and its kin—the Museum of Jurassic Technology here in Los Angeles, Das Museum der Unerhörten Dinge (Museum of Extraordinary Things) in Berlin, for example—pose a challenge for the large national museums housed in monumental buildings that Pamuk would have them supplement? No doubt big museums with grand historical narratives will continue to receive funding, fill the pages of guidebooks, and stand as symbols of national pride, unthreatened by the proliferation of smaller, alternative museums. But perhaps the museums “with wide doors” can learn from the narrative, inventive impulses of smaller institutions. Objects, whether they are found in junk stores, our own attics, or auctioned at Sotheby’s, encapsulate stories and can unleash our imaginations. If we shroud artifacts in authoritative information, construct historical narratives around them, and continue what Pamuk calls, in the audio guide, the soulless tradition of state-sponsored museums displaying artifacts in sequence, we quash possible creative reactions to museum displays, dehumanizing the museum encounter. We need to remember, as we are told at museum box/novel chapter #47, that “objects placed side by side can bring forth unusual emotions and thoughts.””]]> orhanpamuk museums homes collections petertokofsky museumofinnocence literature 2015 istanbul turkey small storytelling humanism size humans collecting humanity türkiye https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:7f7ef2c9ddc5/ 2020-07-21T10:56:02+00:00 http://revistadr.com.br/posts/a-fantasia-de-assaltar-o-museu/ robertogreco ikiyospiñanarváez 2020 brasil brazil museums colonialism accumulation memory race collections blackpanther history art culture aesthetics film https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:1076d2f52dbf/ 2020-07-21T06:07:42+00:00 https://twitter.com/amy_sall/status/1285259680172969984 robertogreco amysall 2020 education academia unschooling deschooling decolonization community liberation progressive progressivism radicalism museums institutions colonialism knowledge exclusion class classism race racism capitalism metrics values oppression whiteness freedom privilege diversity inclusion inclusivity frantzfanon https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:cd0d2f319e28/ 2020-07-14T04:52:34+00:00 https://www.mumforce.co.uk/guest-post-unschooling-and-the-pandemic-by-hamilton-carter/ robertogreco hamilitoncarter 2020 unschooling deschooling parenting covid-19 coronavirus learning children howwelearn education libraries museums nature independence freedom self-directed self-directedlearning strewing https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:087b9f338834/ 2020-05-18T17:10:24+00:00 http://moa.repponen.com/ robertogreco web online internet design museums antonrepponen webdev webdesign visual https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:f4de7b6c267a/ 2020-04-15T02:53:35+00:00 https://vimeo.com/21080364 robertogreco museums labels judyrand museumlabels 2010 https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:50a2b406b42b/ 2020-04-15T02:52:57+00:00 https://msu.edu/~dillenbu/exhibits/Bad/exbadlabels.html robertogreco museums labels museumlabels https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:663ed38bff45/
