Hi, y'all! It's Death, your friend. Ready to paaaaaaaaarty?

#Histodons - looking for anything written about Trump/MAGA understandings of history, but with an emphasis on philosophy of history rather than historical content.

Articles that attempt to interpret the far right's particular understandings of history, why it does/does not matter, its uses/abuses, etc.

Would especially welcome more scholarly treatments from History, Philosophy, etc..

Any suggestions?

(I hesitate to share this as I'm not really looking to discuss the topic much right now. Just trying to get a feeler for what's been done. Kicking around a paper idea but having trouble getting much traction.)

The #TRANSMAT project culminated last week with the conference ‘Decolonising Museums and Colonial Collections. Towards a Transdisciplinary Agenda and Methods’ and the opening of the exhibition ‘Facing the Colonial Legacy in the Museum’, both hosted by the Santos Rocha Municipal Museum in #FigueiraDaFoz.
