It’s ill to loose the bands that God decreed to bind;
Still we be the children of the heather and the wind.
Far away from home, O it’s still for you and me
That the broom is blowing bonnie in the north countrie. [1]
Even below the Missouri-Compromise Line, the mornings now have a delicious coolness, faltering on the edge of a “chill,” and I found myself yearning for an old-fashioned, nineteenth-century ghost story. (more…)

To say that Aleister Crowley was a very colorful individual would be an understatement. He was known for his many talents arising from his great intellect, as well as some disagreeable personality quirks. In his time, some called him the “world’s most wicked man,” which certainly was an overstatement. He was a favorite target for hordes of third-rate journalists. We understand!
He called himself “The Great Beast 666” and took it seriously. (more…)

Protesters march on Avenue Habib Bourguiba in downtown Tunis, 14 Jan 2011
One spark can ignite the whole world, or at least one part of it. It was December 17, 2010, when a young man named Mohamed Bouazizi pushed his handcart down to the market in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia. Police approached him and accused him of violating regulations he hadn’t. They demanded money, and when he had none, they humiliated him and took his vegetable scales. Bouazizi went to the town office to complain, but was refused. (more…)

Note de l’Auteur :
A cause des réponses positives – online tout comme offline – à ma première série de notes, j’ai décidé de continuer les séries jusqu’à ce que j’aie terminé Moïse l’Egyptien. Ensuite nous discuterons les livres ultérieurs d’Assmann : The Price of Monotheism, Of God and Gods: Egypt, Israel, and the Rise of Monotheism, Religio Duplex: How the Enlightenment Reinvented Egyptian Religion, et le livre à paraître From Akhenaten to Moses: Ancient Egypt and Religious Change. J’ai décidé de nommer ce projet le Assmann Seminar, bien que dans le futur j’étendrais peut-être cette étude pour traiter d’autres auteurs liés à ce sujet.

En Teología Política, su pequeño libro sobre el concepto se soberanía, Carl Schmitt afirma que: “Soberano es quien decide en la excepción.”[1] La soberanía significa la suprema autoridad política, en oposición a la subyugación política. Dentro de una sociedad, el soberano es el gobernante, en oposición a los gobernados. Una nación soberana se rige a sí misma, en oposición a ser gobernada por otros.

Em Teologia Política, seu pequeno livro sobre o conceito de soberania, Carl Schmitt afirma que “Soberano é aquele que decide sobre o Estado de Exceção” [1]. Soberania significa autoridade política suprema, por oposição à sujeição política. Em uma sociedade, o soberano é o governante, por oposição ao governado. Uma nação soberana se governa, por oposição a ser governada por outros.
