Maya Kronfeld’s “Spontaneity” is now available on Political Concepts (https://www.politicalconcepts.org/spontaneity-maya-kronfeld/). Check it out!

“I need to make it absolutely clear at the outset that the spontaneity that concerns me is epistemic spontaneity; it has more to do with the imaginative underpinnings of knowledge production than with vitalism. This may be confusing to readers steeped in the colloquial use of the term . . . . My claim here is that verbal and rhythmic art can make palpable the spontaneous possibilities of knowledge-making that are always there but are either negated through structural violence or just ignored.“

1) My great aunt Dr Tikva Honig Parnass ( ז״ל), talking with her then-teenaged nephew, my Aba, Dr Amichai Kronfeld (ז״ל) . I miss them both terribly, but I cling to the authenticity they remind us is possible in our lives, our work and our love.

2) Me today visiting the Sociology Dept at Duke where Tikva completed her PhD in the 1960s.

Love to all those around the world mourning the loss of Tikva . May her vision of justice live on.
