/lit/ - Literature

>>14265007
1/41

>>14265007
no

How many have you read /lit/?

Leftists theory while it might be fun to play around with ultimately is pointless.

With the monumental failure of communism last century, Leftism with eventually go the way of mercantilism

>>14265067
ok fukuyama

>>14265007
Many of these books are laughed at today. Shit chart.

>>14265007
0/84, proletarians of the world unite! Start killing intellectuals already.

>>14265084
Communism is dead, left to the be the opium of sheltered intellectuals

>>14265007
would theory get me laid?

>>14265090
They are laughed at by /pol/ incels that don't read

>>14265104
No, but you might get to watch when two government sponsored and drug fueled Antifa Chads fuck the living shit out of the Antifa chick you fell in love with and which always listens intently to you rambling about how evil white men are.

>>14265104
with art hoes

>>14265109
Anybody who has read these books is a bourgie Intellectual on whom any based proletarian would spit on.

>>14265007
>nonfiction
eww

>>14265131
t. /pol/incel that doesn't read

>>14265007
Nice

>>14265007
>Marx before Kant
eww
I've fully read 8; and read significant parts from 22 others
Based for including Bataille and 4 Blanchots
The marxoid, American, poco stuff is rather dreary tho

>>14265109
>>14265157
why do you have to bring /pol/ in every conversation

>>14265157
Shut the fuck up Bourgie, nobody gives a fuck about your intellectual circle jerk.
Of course Proletarians don't read, else they wouldn't be Proletarians.

>>14265174
There really isn't any order

Does anyone outside of /lit/ take Whitehead seriously?

>>14265175
because internet leftists have no identity beyond being the opposite of /pol/

I'm a coomer and I don't give a fuck

>>14265190
Yea. Deleuze, Prigogine, Stengers, Has away, Steven Shaviro, China

Haraway*

>>14265097
*trillion dollar corporations

since incelism will probably be the next Marxism, we should probably compile a list of incel theory and praxis
I'll start
Weininger "Sex and Character"
Eliott Rodger "My Twisted World"

>>14265249
Start with greeks

>>14265204
It's actually the other way around. /pol/ and the right as a whole has no original thought and is just contrarian to whatever the "left" is.

>>14265320
tu quoque

>>14265320
my point exactly. they can't even make a post without referencing /pol/ it is part of their inferiority complex

>>14265343
>no original thought
>literally cites one of the most original thinkers of late 20th century

>>14265352
get over it leftoid your theory is bunk

>>14265343
Just proved my point with that image. Literally no intellectually rigorous theory on the right.

>>14265366
you wish

You need THINKING not alienating, materialist theorrhea

lmao

I’ve long detested Heidegger, for a number of reasons. (Did I ever mention the academic conference where a militant Heideggerian, regarding me with the same scorn and disgust he would have shown if he had accidentally stepped into a pile of dog shit, told me with lofty condescension that my problem was that I was unwilling or unable to “patiently hearken to the voice of Being”?). Heidegger embodies for me, more than any other thinker in the Western tradition, what Nietzsche called the “spirit of gravity.” He’s heavy and morbid, without an ounce of humor or irony or even sense that we human beings are/have bodies. He picks up on the worst part of Nietzsche, the heavy-handed, pompous, self-obsessed, doom-laden, apocalyptic, romantic rhetoric — so stereotypically “Germanic” — of Zarathustra, but completely misses Nietzsche’s gaiety, sarcasm, “French” scepticism, and general sense of dancing over the abyss. I’ve never been able to decide which part of Heidegger is worse: the existential part, all about authenticity and resoluteness and the earth and the dwelling and being-towards-death (i.e. the Nazi side), or the ontological part, with its endless dissection of concepts by returning to their etymological roots, its walking on forest paths, its idiotic hatred of technology, its mythology of (capital-L) Language, its waiting and hearkening, its twisting of its own formulations into an endless process of self-confirmation through self-undoing (i.e. the deconstructionist side).

Whats the point of theory when Communism has failed every.single.time.

>>14265007
Imagine I read all that, what am I supposed to do next?

>>14265447
Be smart. Think about things in different ways. Know more and not be ignorant. Have critical thinking. Hit up art hoes.

>>14265007
>writes a book about "post-semiotic" FAGGOTRY in cinema
>is a retarded reddit techno-optimist, "hurr these science-fiction books reveals so much about the world bro"
>associaties with the con-movement SHITULATIVE REALISM
>is a fucking JEW and on top of that a Deleuzian
cringe, your critical/media theory departments will be destroyed you leeches

>>14265473
Shaviro is based.

>>14265473
>>14265392

>>14265007
>Nietzsche, Deleuze, Kant, Hegel, Whitehead, James and Foucault are Marxist theorists

>read theory
you first

>>14265007
Where the fuck is Pensées?
Read Pensées holy shit.

Also read Spinoza.
Anytime past the 17th century is a waste of time.

>>14265480
>Shaviro is based
go get pozzed

>>14265483
The chart says theory not just Marxist theory.

>>14265470
Reading volumes of political theory that will probably never end up being realized sounds like a waste of time desu.

>>14265494
I unironically like Pascal but he wouldn't fit with chart. Forgot to put Bourdieu though.

>>14265366
>intellectualism and intellectual rigor are real things and not just reassertion of power within a technological society
>the creative and intellectual legacy amounts to little more than mountainous tomes of masturbatory and contradictory garbage, engineered propaganda, and popular entertainment

>>14265509
It all has application.

I’m sure Chomsky would really appreciate being on this chart.

>actually caring about the "working class"

lol

>>14265007
How are you going to include Whitehead, but not the two guys that retroactively refuted him?

>>14265505
I thought the "read theory" meme was always a Marxist larp.
I'm not convinced it's not. Especially given all of the mutual contradictions in that chart.
To me it seems this was made by a Marxist who has read maybe part of Capital and some summaries of Adorno or something. This Marxist then created a list of authors he thought would make him look intelligent, so he can "own the stormweenies" or something.
is that a reasonable analysis?

Leftist "Theory"

ahh yes, Insisting there is an alternative but failing miserably to provide such.

i cant imagine anyone here reading Mulvey and Said although they are both essential reading.

>>14265190
One of my phil profs in undergrad liked him a lot. I think he was a closet neo-kantian though

>lists of books the list maker has never read

>>14265007
Why should I? I'm not proletarian.

>>14265007
golden eye dubs
also this nigga finally went all out and made a chart

Based

>>14266154
was Marx black? or at least biracial?

>>14265521
Reformed protestant theology has application too.

>>14266355
Yes. And so were Kant and Shakespeare.

>>14265392
>>14265473
One look at this man's webpage was enough to make me laugh uncontrollably.

Lmao at nu-/lit/ for taking second rate intellects like pic related and Land seriously.

>>14266419
DAS RITE

>>14265007
Oh man is that what they meant by read theory?
Alright, I'm already ahead.
>Go me

>>14266529
He doesn't take Land seriously

>>14266583
Am referring to the people on /lit/ now who make 5 "uhh h-hey guys, should I read Fanged Noumena?" threads per day.

>>14266599
You should really read Fanged Noumena.

>>14265007
i want to read incel theory, not communistic timewasters
everything pales in comparition with the women question

>>14266614
I'll spell this out for you.

A large percentage of women are vapid cunts, the percentage is similar with men and people who for whatever reason decide they aren't part of those categories.

You are on /lit/, you probably don't have much in common with a lot of people, even the nice ones. You're isolated because you have a lot of filtering traits and interests. Maybe there are social factors here at play, I don't know you though. Then again you type in lower case, so assuming you aren't on a substance which inhibits you're judgement, you're likely either shy and awkward and trying to compensate, or just hopelessly lazy and trying to pass that off as a cool factor. Either of those could be part of the issue.

There is no "women question".

>>14266648
I am also retarded and can't spell or into grammar. So goodnight.

>>14266614
Women's degeneracy is a good barometer for how healthy a certain culture is, just like the level of jewish influence, really.

That is to say, they are symptoms rather than causes. If you want to get rid of the "women problem", you have to deal with the degenerated body and its weak immune system, not the bacteria that infect its festering wounds.

>>14266702
how would you like some bacteria from my cock, smartypants?

This some new le ebic discord meme to fight the le /pol/ menace

>>14266722
I don't use discord

Bump

>not having Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 by Karl Marx here

>>14267068
I can ohp you bitch

>>14265007
Give me one reason, tranny

>>14267068
Chapocels don't read much

What the fuck does theory even refer to

>>14267133
excuses for trannies to mule about

>>14265190
He was retroactively refuted by Guenon.

>>14265054
I've read the wiki page on the authors' ideas for most of them

>>14267068
its wrong, and i know its wrong, but i felt a sort of visceral disgust upon first seeing this image
>"this is why bullying exists, to curb this kind of behavior"
i had to take a step back and remind myself "these are human beings with their own human being problems" in order to reel myself back in

>>14267133
I think it's referring to "critical theory"

>>14265007
This is like a meme compilation, I'm hoping no one will fall for it.

>>14265343
Ted hates righties too cause they suck the cock of capitalist which suck the cock of technological progress.

>>14267178
only discord trannies

>>14267171
>Critical theory is the reflective assessment and critique of society and culture by applying knowledge from the social sciences and the humanities to reveal and challenge power structures
So it's literally what retarded twitter journalists parrot about everyday? lol

>>14265007
So do I still count as incel if I do not hate woman and just do not talk to them because I know the only person below me in rank is common criminal or druggie?

>>14267199
No. It's stuff in that chart. Apply yourself.

>>14267218
Give me a reason to and I'll consider it

>>14265007
Most of this stuff is being used by right wingers these days. Leftists have given up on intellectualism

>>14267113
Post body with timestamp then.

>>14267199
Replication Crisis invalidates Humanities. These people are deluded faggots. Learn their material only if you have to argue with them and respect their deluded terms.

>>14266648
>"you type in lower case... you're likely... or just hopelessly lazy and trying to pass that off as a cool factor."
shit, this nigga just called me out. straight up. and im not even the OP he responded to.
can you psychoanalyze me?

>>14267232
Sounds about right desu

>>14267225
No one on the right reads. There are no right intellectuals.

>>14267246
Kill yourself, go back and dilate. In that order, reddit tourist, discord tranny, chapo faggot.

>>14267252
read theory

>>14267255

>>14267246
Or maybe there are, you just don't notice be because your methods of literary interpretation are so dogshit fucking retarded that you can claim any text that is short of neo-nazism as left wing and your retarded "intellectual" friends will not realize it because they also are incapable of reading objectively

>>14267269
No it's more like no one on the right reads.

>>14267286
lol ok retard

>>14267264

Behold the power of tranny intellectualism.

Notice how none can explain the reason for reading theory

seems eclectic as fuck

>>14267341
See >>14267269

>>14267246
Nah there's plenty. Your conceptualization of right wing is just very narrow

Leftists don't read

>>14267896
Kill yourself.

>>14267896
Nigger that just told me that it will change my ideas

At least give me a quick rundown of what kind of ideas your "theory" deals with and then maybe I will consider reading it actually gives me a valuable perspective on things

>>14267988
not an argument

>>14267987
>I posted “read theory” over and over again I totally BTFOd that alt-reich chud
GOOD one.

What book is that anime girl on the right reading?

>>14267993
"Read theory" also is not an argument desu senpai, sorry.

>>14267993
Nor is a shitty song with meaningless lyrics, tourist faggot.

Is read theory their new epic catch phrase to take over 4chan from the ebil /poltards? I just wish /leftypol/ refugees would fuck off.

Well at least they recognize they can't meme lmao

>>14268022
How fucking old is this screencap? I've seen it posted here for years.

I think so, this looks like the doings of someone two years into a doctorate in continental.

>>14265067
And with the monumental success of consumer Capitalism we'll all go the way of the Neanderthals
Doesn't matter what the fuck you read

>>14265249
Schopie "On Women"
Houllebuecq "Whatever" or "Elementary Particles"

This idea is super interesting actually. But most incels are depressed coomers so I'm not sure they'd have the attention span to read the books
