>I was a Flower of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under the Moorish wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.

Hey /lit/ do any of you alumni still have access to your universities libraries? Is that a thing?

>I would like to believe this, but sadly we see very little constructive discussions, even on this board deemed "intelligent". Insults flying around, memes, aggressivity, shitposting.
Well you are free to believe what you want, but you are wrong. I can't prove it but it doesn't really matter does it?

>You would have absolutely no problems to reply with a full paragraph
Well word count is obviously a problem. Quotes helps lower that when you do not fully want to rephrase everything. It also helps with speed, since it can be difficult to keep up with multiple posters. And it does add clarity, like bullet points. You might think they can be used manipulatively, which you are right they can be, but I am not using them manipulatively here.

What you are saying does not make sense. People interested in art ask for recommendations on what to read in art. Everyone does not automatically know everything about art once they "gain interest"

>Your question is too vague/broad and you either need to be painfully specific or do your own research to find what you actually want, as the other anon replied. ;Cntemporary art' isn't a 'movement', afterall, it's things that are currently happening and right now we're in a melting pot of 'everything has been done so we'll do all of it at the same time' with some common themes in certain areas.

If you really want to gain some understanding on the subject, though, with literature as an entry point it might be best to either read some Barthes or Saussure OR read some thought provoking fiction that can in a lot of cases be considered an artwork in itself and trace the history forward from there; in which case I'd recommend Kobo Abe as an entry point to video art by way of the film adaptation of the "Face of Another" and critical theorists dealing with semiotics, memetics and a couple big name reviewers (most of whom aren't worth taking all too seriously) to gauge your findings off of.

... But mainly do your own research, at least to the point where you can specify what you're looking for.

Thanks, that is all I was asking for.

If we could really minimize the potential for word wide disaster with nukes and the environment, so much of my anxiety would just dissipate.

I seriously will scare myself shitless just looking out the window imagining that I wont even notice the blast.

But then it doesnt happen.
