Tree Goat: May 24, 2009; argania spinosa

not quite marginalia, but my wilfred owens collection has a big coffee stain right smack dab in the middle of dulce et decorum est, so it reads:

quote:

missing � An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound�ring like a man in fire or lime.�
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

does anybody know what the missing text reads? it's such an important poem that i feel silly that i've never read the whole thing

It's:

I wasn't clever enough to say anything funny about it, but at least we now have a literary in-joke way to point out when the thread has gone to poo poo.

If you cannot recite your complete stable of critical influences when challenged you are a fraud imho

Tell me some of yours and I'll read a few and tell you what's up. I bought Mythologies by Barthes when it was discussed. I stopped going to college because doing drugs on the beach and having sex were way more fun, and all my professors were idiots that wanted me to read Ayn Rand's Anthem or some other poo poo.

# ? Jun 7, 2018 18:40

Mel Mudkiper: Jan 19, 2012; At this point, Mudman abruptly ends the conversation. He usually insists on the last word.

Barthes
Derrida

Hegel
Butler

I've got some books on Lacan and Hegel already, since they come up a lot in CineD. I'll add the others to my list.

Legit though Lyotard owns and makes one of the most direct and convincing arguments for the post modern reconstruction of artistic judgement I've read

Edit: You should group them though

Saussure-Barthes-Derrida-Butler

Hegel-Lacan-Lyotard-Foucault

Are there specific works I should read for most of these recommendations, or will I glean their theories from whatever?

# ? Jun 7, 2018 18:55

Squashing Machine: Jul 5, 2005; I mean boning, the wild mambo, the hunka chunka

You caught me, I'm not much of a reader of the critical theorists. I am, however, a reader of books, and if that makes me a fraud in your eyes then I can't change that.

What I will say, though, is that I'm glad I've stayed far away from the theory if this is where it gets you. It's a sad, cynical approach to the novel. It's about fracturing, setting up boundaries, saying you can only look over the fence but never really climb it.

Had to catch myself from crying a bit at Lincoln in the Bardo on the CTA today. Embarrassing, really, when it's just about some dumb dead rich kid and his stupid grieving privileged father. Can't believe I let my guard down. Hopefully next time I'll stop myself before I actually feel something for the wrong people in a book.

Foucault, Lacan and Hegel can be whatever

Saussure- course in general linguistics
Lyotard - The Postmodern Condition
Butler - Gender Trouble
Barthes- s/z
Derrida - Differance
