    1. Ogilvie uncovers the story of Anna Thorpe Wetherill, an anti-slavery activist who hid escaped enslaved people in her house in Philadelphia. Mrs Thorpe focused her efforts in the slips she sent to Oxford on recording the language of slavery, submitting definitions for ‘abhorrent’, ‘abolition’, ‘accursed’ and ‘attack’. Like Margaret Murray’s, her work ensured that the language of colonisation appeared in the dictionary not just as the lingua franca of jingoistic imperialism but shaded with the stories and the voices of the colonised.

    1. And expropriation to me means something like what you, Anna, mean by ‘alienation’ (Tsing 2015Tsing, Anna Lowenhaupt. 2015. The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins. Princeton: Princeton University Press. [Crossref], [Google Scholar]: 5): a being separated from what makes you alive, a condition in which you also stop thinking, imagining, and noticin

      Dieses Konzept der Enteignung fordert nicht etwas Eigenes, sondern Beziehungen, ein Miteinander-Sein von Heterogenem, das aufeinander angewiesen ist. Entfremdung setzt hier nicht etwas Essentielles, z.B. ein Wesen des Menschen, voraus. Sie entzieht Gemeingüter und trennt damit die Einzelnen oder Individuen von den Voraussetzungen ihres Lebens—ohne dass diese Voraussetzungen immer dieselben wären und ohne dass sie als idyllisch oder harmonisch verstanden werden müssen.

      Man kann einen solchen Prozess der Enteignung auch beim Web und den digitalen Technologien beschreiben, übrigens auch dort in Verbindung mit einer Modernisierungsfront. Das Web ist ein Bereich der commons, ein Gemeingut. Die verschiedenen kommerziellen Silos nehmen den an ihm Beteiligten das Eigentum—nicht etwas, das ihnen gehört, sondern etwas, das ihnen gemeinsam ist oder ein gemeinsames Ökosystem bildet— und machen sie dann zu, wie Stengers es hier nennt, beneficiaries. Um das durchzusetzen, wird die Hardware enteignet, der frei programmierbare Rechner, und das Ganze findet im Namen der Modernisierung statt, obwohl das Web gar nicht modernisiert werden muss.

    2. Ich habe dieses Gespräch gestern gelesen. Für mich passt es zu den Gedanken über das letzte Jahr, die mir gerade durch den Kopf gehen. Ich habe einiges von Latour und einiges von Stengers gelesen, aber ich kann mit diesen Gedanken und Lesefragmenten noch nicht weiterarbeiten. In diesem Gespräch finde ich dabei Motive wieder, die mich auch an Extinction Rebellion erinnern—der Bewegung, in der ich mich engagiert habe: das was Latour als apokalyptisch bezeichnet, den Gedanken des Heilens oder der Regeneration, über den Isabelle Stengers spricht, und auch die Idee einer multispecies ethnography, die Anna Tsing erwähnt.

    1. If only Santa Anna had not repealed the Constitution of 1824. If only Santa Anna had not dissolved the legislatures. If only Santa Anna had not killed every Texan prisoner. If only Santa Anna had not gone to sleep without posting a guard at San Jacinto. If only Santa Anna had done any of these things Texas would probably still be a Mexican state; however, Santa Anna did none of these things. In fact it was his failure to do any of these things that caused Texas to become an independent republic.

      This is good opinion/info to support my claim. If only Santa Anna had given mercy to the Texans, he could've used them against their side, and they could've helped him get more prisoners or win the revolution and continue his rein over Texas.

    2. The way the Alamo was destroyed also caused the remaining Texan army to be even more determined.

      This should've shown Santa Anna that he wasn't going to win by scaring them, he was going to have to use his head and his army to fight the Texans, with any hope of winning in the fight.

    3. At first Santa Anna's policy of execution carried the desired effect; all the Texans ran toward the American border (see map). However, his policy backfired. All the weak hearted Texan soldiers quit the army leaving only the hard core men.

      This is good to show how his execution of Texas soldiers wasn't working for him because everyone was willing to fight even harder, not going to die without a fight.

    1. It was almost six months ago when the woman came to our door. She looked like a film student, and at first I took her for a fan. Neil’s work wasn’t the sort to attract adoring masses, but occasionally admirers would find their way to his home. Usually he’d send them away, but sometimes he’d have them wait in the atrium while I positioned him in his studio, ready for a short meeting or Q-and-A session.
