“One of the hallmarks of lamentation is its excess. Talking becomes screaming, singing becomes wailing. Mourners act out their pain on their own bodies, tearing their clothes and hair, beating their chests, even inflicting injuries. This intensity sets it apart from other forms of public witnessing. Lamentation is communication as it reels toward the unsayable, the inexpressible pain of loss. I see in practices of exhumation, in the lengths gone to recover the dead after annihilating violence, something of this excess. The enormous forensic undertakings are scientific and legal efforts, but they are also expressions of pain and acts of faith. As a postcard pinned to an office door at the FAFG forensic laboratory says: “Archeology is my religion.”

“Despite what the SIS:TUM implies, not everything is a business. Not everything is for sale. There are swathes of potential students with first class minds who can't meet the Faustian deal passed off as tuition fees, so instead of formulating scientific hypotheses or writing the next great masterpiece, they're on zero hour contracts stacking the shelves in supermarkets...”
