Eleonora of Arborea

Mos Maiorum

Summary

The 1392 A.D. for Sardinia is a turning point because in the Giudicato of Arborea, approximately the current province of Oristano, was promulgated the Carta de Logu, a collection of laws of value constitution, We would say today, that in fact anticipated the idea of the State of law when the concept of medieval dominus was still undisputed.To make this juridical document unique, in addition to its innovative content and form (it was written in Sardinian vernacular to be understood by all, including the uneducated), was also its author, a woman, Giudicessa Eleonora of Arborea, only woman to have led one of the Giudicati (vassal kingdoms) in which Sardinia was divided before the definitive Aragonese invasion of the fifteenth century.Eleanora of Arborea was undoubtedly a unique woman for her time, able to assert itself in a purely masculine world and to stand up to the king of Aragon for all his life, so much so as to become for the Sardinians of the time the champion of the independence of Arborea and in the centuries to follow until today an emblematic figure of Sardinian independence.THE PROJECT. Mos Maiorum is the heteronym under which hides a group of passionate popularizers of history who chose to start this project of the same name to bring as many people as possible to the discovery and knowledge of history in a simple way, clear, accessible to all and possibly not boring. The project will consist of small books that aim to make the reader curious by discovering (or sometimes rediscovering) persons, events, places and episodes of the history that may seem minor to the appearance, but that they somehow left a mark in that particular period of time, more or less noticeable. That are part of that long intertwined and complex thread that is the history with the capital "H", composed of great events and persons but also small events, women and men misunderstood or almost forgotten.

Treasure

Jemima Foxtrot

"religion's been cruel to people like usthe darkwood sluts      the good time girlsbut god as my witnesssome of us           we're just trying to wrangle our powerback from the species that took it"
Jemima Foxtrot's Treasure is a shining work of alchemy and liberation which explores power dynamics, sex work, desire, and female friendship with a fresh and playful perspective. Foxtrot investigates shimmering sexualities, the economies of desire, the theft of childhood and pathways towards reclaiming it. Her language is lush: intimate, intricate, full of fertile earth's possibility. The poems of Treasure live up to its name: showing us where the gold is—the joy—how to feed it into the soil of our lives.
"Treasure is an aptly chosen title for this collection, both as a noun (that quantity of precious ore dug from the stuff of experience) and as a verb (the imperative to seek out, sing, and cherish joy through the sharing of it). Foxtrot is a savvy, sometimes savage, sensualist; her poetic speakers alert to injustice, but alive to pleasure in every way that counts. These are superbly tactile poems, poems of being-in-the-body, and being-in-the-world; they are full of wit, vigour and feminist jouissance. These are also formally exciting poems, poems that showcase a beautifully bold and oddly tender lyric defiance." Fran Lock, Hyena, T.S. Eliot Prize Shortlist

The Red Herring Fallacy -...

William Rands

The Red Herring Fallacy is a common and effective tool for diverting attention from the main issue in an argument. It occurs when irrelevant information or topics are introduced into a discussion, leading the audience away from the core subject. The name "red herring" originates from an old English practice of using smoked fish to distract hunting dogs from a scent trail. In the context of logical reasoning, the concept is metaphorical, describing tactics that mislead or confuse.
At its heart, the Red Herring Fallacy exploits our natural tendencies to become sidetracked by emotionally charged, intriguing, or seemingly relevant details. The distraction can take many forms: an unrelated anecdote, a tangential issue, or even an outright falsehood designed to provoke. These diversions can be deliberate, crafted to manipulate the audience, or unintentional, stemming from poor argumentation or misunderstanding. Regardless of intent, the result is the same—a shift in focus away from the actual matter at hand.
This fallacy is especially prevalent in public debates, political discourse, and media narratives, where the stakes are high, and the ability to persuade can hinge on controlling the conversation. Politicians might use red herrings to avoid answering tough questions or to redirect criticism, while advertisers employ them to create appealing but irrelevant associations with their products. In our personal lives, we often encounter red herrings during arguments with friends or family, when emotions can override reason and lead to unproductive detours.
