Back to basics. (Yes, I write on books and I also doodle on their pages.)
By sheer influence of @caffeinebooks I’m debuting on the #studyblr and #gradblr tags. :)

Retomando as atividades do blog
Olá! Passou um ano de Mestrado e eu não fiz o que me propus a fazer neste blog: falar sobre o meu trabalho, sobre a minha pesquisa e qualquer coisa relacionada ao Mestrado. Bem, pretendo fazer isso agora.
Espero que ainda estejam lendo! (translation after the cut)
So my advisor told me to write an article, based on any part of my dissertation, to send her by monday.
Which should be, allegedly, easy pie. But considering I still didn’t start to write anything for my dissertation…

First week of the Master's classes and I'm already late on all the readings.
This must be a record or something.
In other news, today is Hug A Medievalist Day. You can hug me now.
Anytime. Anytime now.
You can also hug Bruno and Julie.
So my Master's classes start on April's Fools
Seriously.
I'm still waiting for the super joke when I enter the classroom, like "WHOA, you don't belong here, go study somewhere else."
If reproduction was the key to patriarchy for some, sexuality itself was the answer for others. Catherine McKinnon's bold formulations were at once her own and characteristic of a certain approach: "Sexuality is to feminism what work is to marxism: that which is most one's own, yet most taken away." "Sexual objectification is the primary process of the subjection of women. It unites act with word, construction with expression, perception with enforcement, myth with reality. Man fucks woman; subject verb object."

This is my very humble and little pile of books.
Now that I finished writing my project I should engage in some reading for the master’s degree test that is coming over but…Which one?
Had Camões chosen to limit the tone and scope of his epic to the strictly military and religious aspects of chivalry, Os Lusiadas might well have emerged as a poem totally lacking in references to womanhood. But the fact that he wrote under the powerful spell of Renaissance humanism required him to pay his courtier's debt to the current concept of love as a highly formalized standard for measuring human conduct. (...) and Camões could no more have omitted this theme from his poem than he could have neglected to turn to Vergil's Aeneid as the model of the Renaissance epic. In short, Camoes, like Spencer, strove in his poetry to join his humanistic learning to the chivalric ideal of perfect manhood "fused with female grace."
PIPER, Anson C. The Feminine Presence in Os Lusíadas.
I finished it.
I finished the bloody project.
I've been suffering for weeks. The first version of it was rejected by the professor and she said I should write something "more formal" and more detailed. With a ten-page limit it was quite a challenge. This new version has twelve pages (ten of proper text and two of bibliography) and I'm now trying to shrink it to ten pages, kinda unsuccessfully for now.
I'm going to send a copy to the professor by next tuesday morning, being so, I have the whole rest of the weekend to review it over and over again.
I'm extremely tired.
“I am very cold”
“The parchment is very hairy.”
“Oh, my hand.”
—Notes from medieval monks and scribes in the margins of their work
Our latest issue “Means of Communication” is now online. Take a break from the scriptorium to check it out!
This is awesome.
“Now I’ve written the whole thing: for Christ’s sake, give me a drink.”
Some of these are really moving, it’s easy to forget that the people transcribing these works weren’t just monk-shaped automata slaving away tirelessly on some different planet. But some of them are also hilarious.
“the hand that wrote it is no more” IT CEASED TO BE IT EXPIRED AND LEFT TO SEE ITS MAKER THIS IS AN EX-HAND
You’re officially my favorite. Okay.
This is History porn.
It's on!
So I just started typing the project to my Master's Degree. For months I scribbled it on several notebooks, making notes and looking for quotations, thinking how the hell I'm going to make those people at the University believe I'm gonna make an amazing job. I figured it out today.
I've also read a lot (a lot!) all this time, mostly theoretical books. Today I began writing in fact. I'm so excited! I have deadlines again and to me this is the greatest motivation.
I have a scheme to my project glued to my wall and I'm not afraid to use it!
*happy*

I had already picked out 4 books on the online library catalog. This is why me browsing the stacks is NEVER a good idea…
On the plus side, they were all books on the various topics I’m writing on this semester!
Oh, we all do it.
(...) I can see a young historian at the subway or at a Luxembourg street bank. He just bought, with the money of two sandwiches, The Identity of France. Starving, he devours Braudel's introduction (...)
Marcel Detienne, picturing most of us, young historians of our age, buying books with the money saved for food and reading at streets.
