Wow this board has turned to utter shit. This will be the last time I ever come here. To all the people I enjoyed chatting with here a few years ago, goodbye and good luck with your lives. To all the people who started posting here in the last ~2 years, fuck you for ruining something great. Moot might as well just delete it now.

Art is nothing more than a faltering and inadequate attempt to express what has been thus experienced and to give some form to its content. The work of art captures not the experience, but only what its creator has been able to express of the experience.

I have to ask /lit/, how is it that one is supposed to fight against the power of media bandwagons and "viral marketing".
Fifty Shades keeps selling while making news for the most ridiculous reasons
>http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/367348/20120726/50-shades-grey-fifty-bible-hotel-england.htm
>133 days in the top 100 Amazon bestselling books
and we keep reaching new lows every year.
Is this going to stop at a certain point? Is there a group to blame?

when something is burning and has stopped,
what would you call it in the pass tense:
burnt or burned?

I am a taking an English class at an extremely liberal university. I, being an atheist and political independent, am looking to make an argument against the blind, liberal respect which is extended to the various interpretations of a text. That is, I am looking to criticize feminist, queer, Christian, etc. readings of a text. I am looking towards make an argument for an objective quality. However, I am unfamiliar with any authors/texts which may assist me. (I have found that I am able to attack religious readings of a text through reference to the dangers of religious moderates, that is, the dangers of respecting any form of religion. But, I am looking for something more theory-based.)

Any thoughts?
Thanks for your time.
