return

I haven't visiting my blog in awhile, I've been thinking of how to make this experience a little more worthwhile than just spouting off catchy remarks. I've doing an independent study this term on Palestinian Cinema and I'm pairing movie-watching with reading theory, history, and fiction by Palestinian authors. I'm considering setting up a new blog (or adding on to this one) reflections on all this activity. Not today though, as I'm in the midst of grading a 12lb. stack of undergraduate papers on aspects of 1930s cinema. But tomorrow perhaps, I'd like to start with thinking about Emile Habiby's "The Secret Life of Saeed: The Ill Fated Pessoptimist".
