Weekend Reading: Building a Bliss Station Edition
Jason B. Jones

We are getting near the sharp pointy end of the spring semester, where everything is a breathless sprint toward exams and graduation (and beyond that, dreams of summer), but hopefully this weekend you have a minute to take stock and get yourself together.

Here, for your weekend enjoyment, are five links and some videos.

  • Donna Lanclos has a terrific post on what happens when we assume no useful digital work is already happening on campus: When leaders, managers, lecturers, or consultants (who are becoming more common in higher ed, she said, advisedly) or indeed anyone suggests that there are no valuable digital practices in their particular context, they set the stage for the wholesale import of a set of practices. They ignore what is actually there because it's more convenient, or more politically useful, to suggest that there is no pre-existing landscape of behaviors that deserves attention.
  • Yasha Levine's Baffler essay on "The Crypto-Keepers" unpacks the ways techno-culture elevates app-based solutions to surveillance rather than political ones: In our post-Snowden world, we have outsourced our privacy politics to crypto apps. By doing so, we've entered a paranoid game theory nightmare world—a place where regular people have no true power and must put their faith in the people and organizations stoking the algorithms that make this crypto tech.
  • Quinn Dombrowski and Joan Lippincott explain how campuses can best develop support for digital humanities work, as a kind of user's guide to last year's ECAR working group paper, "Building Capacity for Digital Humanities: A Framework for Institutional Planning" (disclaimer: I played a modest role in the working group that produced this paper).
  • Malcolm Harris looks at the myths and realities around child soldiers, including the child soldiers at . . . Hogwarts: Think about the boy wizard Harry Potter: a war orphan seized from his surviving relatives at age 10, Harry is brought to a secluded academy run by former militants, told he is destined for glory, and taught to fight. When the warlord who killed his parents returns to make a power play, the teenage Harry raises and trains an armed cadre of his fellow high-schoolers to fight internal and external enemies. One of these child soldiers is killed in an ensuing battle. Post-war, Harry and his best friend Ron, both still teenagers, join the new government's military police unit.
  • Abigail Fradkin explains "why virtual reality needs literary realism": Literary fantasy and virtual reality both have the power to help us escape for real the ways of living that bring economic struggle and instability to so many. But to imagine ourselves out, we also have to do the hard work of imagining ourselves into those lives, and for that we need truly expansive literary realism.

For this week's video, check out Austin Kleon's great talk on keeping up with creative work during difficult times:

Also, though no one needs to hear me say it, Janelle MonĂ¡e's new record is going to be great.
