It's summer, so why not start blogging again? Like most other academics, I've made a somewhat ambitious summer plan. I'm reading for my book-in-progress the cultural history of anti-fascism (on left and right). I'm also updating the syllabus for my fall class on American Studies theory which I'll be co-teaching with a newly minted English PhD, who's awesome and much hipper to current theory than I am. I'm doing an 8 minute talk on representations of prison in pop-culture, which will involve a lot of TV watching with a note-pad. For fun, I've decided to participate in this book challenge set up by blogger, Megan Troup.
So here's the start of my summer reading list for research, teaching and play.
Book project related :
Ian Kershaw, Hitler: Hubris & Nemesis; Bob Altemeyer, Enemies of Freedom, Eric Fromm,Escape from Freedom; Daniel Pick, Pursuit of the Nazi Mind, Ron Hansen, Hitler's Niece, and other stuff too, including whatever's related to my drafted chapter on the New Left and 1970s-1990s anti-fascism, which brings us to things like Mark Rudd, Underground, stuff about Wilhelm Reich, and even punk rock; as well as some pieces about right-wing anti-fascism including perhaps by and about the dreaded Ayn Rand whose Social Darwinism, romantic ideology, and love for monumental architecture leads to some interesting parallels with you-know-who. But there's only so much one can read in one three month period.
Teaching related: Brian Massumi, Parables for the Virtual; Anne Cvetkovich, An Archive of Feelings; Sharon Holland, The Erotic Life of Racism, Kelly Oliver, Animal Lessons: How They Teach Us to Be Human; Jodi Byrd, The Transit of Empire; Sarah Ahmed, The Promise of Happiness; Michael Warner, Publics and Counterpublics; Sender, The Makeover, HoSang et al, Racial Formation in the 21st Century
and then there's list for the Semi-Charmed Kind of Life Summer Book Challenge (which is at least backdated to May 1, so I can count stuff I already read). I am drawing from my existing work-related lists as much as possible while trying to include some fun reading in there.
5 points: Freebie! Read any book that is at least 200 pages long.
Louise Penny, A Fatal Grace (Armand Gamache #2) (just finished)
10 points: Read a book that was written before you were born.
Fromm, Escape from Freedom
10 points: Finish reading a book you couldn't finish the first time around. (You must have at least 150 pages left in the book to use it for this category.)

15 points: Read a book another blogger has already read for the challenge. (Yes, you will have to wait until the first check-in to choose this book! So no one will be able to finish this challenge in only one month; sorry!)
20 points: Read a book with “son(s),” “daughter(s)” or “child(ren)” in the title. No other words will count—including kids, offspring, etc.—so please don’t ask. :)
I could read Becker's Hitler's Children which I will need to read eventually, but I don't know if this summer is the time for it.
20 points: Read a book that was/will be adapted to film in 2014. (Here are 16 ideas to get you started, but I know there are plenty more options.)
Ron Rash, Serena (for fun) or in keeping with last chapter of the book, Veronica Roth, Divergent

25 points: Read a biography, autobiography or memoir.
Kershaw, Hitler: Hubris
30 points: Read a pair of books with antonyms in the titles.
Goodlad et al, Mad Men, Mad World (finished) paired with Erich Fromm, The Sane Society OR Dean Spade, Normal Life
My question to you, random people on the internet, is - do you know of a blogger who writes about fascism, animal studies or affect theory so I can double-dip? Like dude, when is this guy's book coming out?

You win! ;-)
but George, what blogger's book should I read?
well, I didn't read anywhere near as much as I hoped, but I did read two Kershaw Hitler bios, and several other books about Nazism and psychology. I also did the summer reading challenge (and am 1/2 through my last book for that). I didn't read many of the books for teaching, but I did manage the Affect Theory Reader & the Erotic Life of Racism before I went back headlong into a summer of nothing but reading about Nazis.
effectively, My spouse and i don't go through wherever in close proximity to just as much as My spouse and i expected, nevertheless I did go through a pair of Hawker Hitler bios, as well as some various other textbooks with regards to Nazism along with therapy. My spouse and i in addition go to this website does the summer months looking at obstacle (along with are 1/2 by way of our very last e-book with the). My spouse and i don't go through a lot of the textbooks pertaining to educating, nevertheless I did deal with your Influence Idea Viewer & your Lusty Lifestyle involving Racism ahead of My spouse and i returned headlong right summertime involving outright looking at with regards to Nazis.
