The Empire's New Clothes By Frederick Luis Aldama I read with great enthusiasm Timothy Brennan's timely, and informative essay, "The Empire's New Clothes" (Critical Inquiry. Vol. 29, no. 2, 2003). First, Brennan's essay on Negri and Hardt's academic best-selling Empire leaves almost no stone unturned. He shows how these two alchemists use their best rhetorical shots to persuade their readers that the fight against capitalism and all its monstrous consequences is no longer necessary because capitalism--as Brennan phrases it--has already provided us with an "inchoate communism." Crafting against the Grain: an Interview with Zulfikar Ghose With the publication of eleven beautifully crafted, stylistically varied novels, five collections of poetry, several works of criticism on Shakespeare and writing, and an autobiography, Zulfikar Ghose is one of our late-twentieth century's great and prolific writers. Why Study Chicano/a Music? By Frederick Luis Aldama After receiving an interesting, though not very constructive review of my essay, "Frontera Musicscapes: Grinding Up a Bad Edge in Borderland Studies", I take the opportunity to think about the purpose of studying music (borderland or otherwise). Troubled times: A Conceptual Approach to Understanding Barbarism ON CONCEPTS. A concept is a mental representation of a class of objects in the world. It is the "glue that holds our mental world together", according to Gregory L. Murphy. Michael Nava: tooth and nail survival In 1986 Michael Nava published his first mystery novel, "The Little Death," breathing life into the first gay Chicano lawyer-as-detective, Henry Rios. Michael Nava hasn't stopped to look back since, churning out seven more award-winning novels that fully contour Rios's life as he solves grisly murders and crimes against the disenfranchised, has affairs of the heart, and struggles to survive in a xenophobic, heterosexist world. I met with the gracious, soft spoken, clean-cut Michael Nava at his office in San Franciso. With penal code books lying heavy on the desk, milagros hanging on the wall, and Giants paraphernalia filling up shelves, Nava and I discussed his life and fiction. Interview with Jose Latour Known in Cuba for his crime novels and as the vice president of the Latin American division of the International Association of Crime Writers, José Latour makes his English-language, U.S.-published debut with "Outcast."

RSS
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based format for distributing and aggregating Web content (such as news headlines). Using RSS, Web content providers can easily create and disseminate feeds of data that include, for example, news links, headlines, and summaries. Sites like Syndic8.com list thousands of RSS feeds.

How can I use RSS?
Typical applications for consuming or using RSS include:

Using a program known as a News Aggregator to collect, update and display RSS feeds
Incorporating RSS feeds into weblogs

News Aggregators (also called news readers) will download and display RSS feeds for you. A number of free and commercial News Aggregators are available for download. Popular news readers include AmphetaDesk, NetNewsWire, and Radio Userland.

Another way many people use RSS feeds is by incorporating content into weblogs, or "blogs". Blogs are web pages comprised of usually short, frequently updated items and web links. Blogging as a publishing tool is used for many purposes: traditional journalism, personal journals, group discussions around a topic, and many combinations in-between.
