That is their profession. Or at least, that is what they claim when they cash in student tuition and millions in public research funds. For several years, however, the University of Zurich (UZH) and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) have devoted an extraordinary amount of bureaucratic energy, committee hours, and institutional self-righteousness to a scandal that did not exist. Meanwhile, they managed...]]></description><link>https://www.belfagor.info/post/receptiogate-2026-how-the-uzh-and-the-snsf-protected-two-manuscript-fencers-to-attack-a-scholar</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a2ff20c098e896b85dedcfe</guid><category><![CDATA[DOSSIERS]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2026 12:57:22 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_c8cf91b1e9934fa2a1da8665af17831b~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Belzebuth</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dante a modo mio]]></title><description><![CDATA[Si diceva in altro contributo: Dante è un’opinione!

Dante lo è.   E qua non stiamo parlando tanto di interpretazione. Non si tratta, ad esempio, di intercettare chi sia colui che fece “il gran rifiuto”: Celestino, Esaù, Pilato, o forse qualcuno che ancora non abbiamo avuto voglia di individuare; non stiamo parlando di cruces, veltri, cinquecento dieci e cinque e compagnia cantante. No, qua si tratta che Dante scrive una cosa e noi ne capiamo un’altra.

Self-Portrait in the Studio tries to be a self-portrait without directly showing the self—it pieces together objects, images, names, and passing encounters. If you know Agamben’s work, you know the move: fragments lined up so that meaning kind of sparks between them.

The complaint misses the method. Han does not aim at a treatise. He works by reduction. He removes connective tissue until a structure appears. The starting point is widely sensed and rarely clarified: something has shifted in how stories operate under platform conditions.

It does not exist to circulate visibility, nor to reinforce reputations already secured elsewhere. Its function is diagnostic.

The question is simple: does it withstand scrutiny when removed from institutional protection, rhetorical inflation, and reputational inertia? The premise is that contemporary cultural production...]]></description><link>https://www.belfagor.info/post/what-belfagor-is-for</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f730187b1c42fb24f7c1ac</guid><category><![CDATA[Case File]]></category><pubDate>Sun, 03 May 2026 11:23:17 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Belfagor</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
