http://michaelhaag.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Friday, 26 June 2015. Gaston Zananiri and Nomadic Theory. Michael Haag talking with Gaston Zananiri in Paris in 1996. Alexandria: City of Memory. I was asked by an academic, one who had not yet read my book, what ‘theory’ I had used. ‘Nomadic theory’ was suggested. I had to look that up. I explained to my enquirer that I used no theory. I read letters and diaries, studied photographs, went to places and learned about them, and interviewed people who were there, and then I wrote my book. The prologue to a...

Michael Haag: The News from Greece is OXI
http://michaelhaag.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-news-from-greece-is-oxi_5.html
Sunday, 5 July 2015. The News from Greece is OXI. Celebrating 'OXI' in Syntagma Square, Athens, 5 July 2015. In an earlier post. I said I agreed with Nanos Valaoritis that 'what has happened in Greece will eventually help . most of the countries in Europe'. And that was in January. Today I am thrilled that the Greeks have had the good sense and the great courage to stand up against the bullying, the threats and above all the stupidity of the EU and to have said No. Issued an ultimatum in 1940. And this a...

Michael Haag: Postcard from the South of France 1939
http://michaelhaag.blogspot.com/2015/06/postcard-from-south-of-france-1939.html
Monday, 15 June 2015. Postcard from the South of France 1939. Saint-Raphael in the South of France 1939. I was about to use this old postcard to write a note to a friend when I took a closer look and got drawn into the hidden story it has to tell. I communicate with friends by sending them letters and postcards. Any old postcards, new or old. And so the story of this postcard from Saint-Raphael in the South of France, written and postmarked on the same day, Tuesday 4 July 1939. WTA probably means the Wor...

Michael Haag: Cavafy and English Decadence
http://michaelhaag.blogspot.com/2015/06/cavafy-and-english-decadence.html
Saturday, 6 June 2015. Cavafy and English Decadence. Constantine Cavafy's cousin Maria Zambaco. By her lover Edward Burne-Jones. Constantine Cavafy’s adolescence in England has long been buried in obscurity; and much of his creative life in Alexandria has been unexplained. But now we have a work of literary criticism backed by genealogy and solid ethnography. The revelations are startling yet suddenly everything falls into place. I have been reading Reframing Decadence. Venus modelled by Maria. The theme...
