I wrote my PhD thesis on 15th century professors, and i`ll never stop smiling about the countless complaints about academic life in their letters and notebooks. "I`m overcommited" "I should have finished my dissertation before joining my order", "I lost count how many things i`ve written". :D
We always think of monks and canons being all so dutiful. But they were only human, after all.

Ooh, Simon Schaffer reader coming down the pike. I blogged through a good chunk of his oeuvre back in the day, which was really illuminating. Too bad they didn't include "The Show That Never Ends" (on perpetual motion), which is probably my favorite: doi.org/10.1017/S000... #HPS

Det pratas om performativt läsande, om boken som accessoar i det offentliga. Testar att ta det till nästa nivå, sätter mig på spårvagnen om en stund med en TLS i nävarna, får se om något händer.
