/lit/ - Literature

And so it starts.

Fuck you, Adorno. Fuck you for starting up the same old blatant bullshit trolling that you always used to do.

>>2561890

I've never seen him troll. Do tell. I don't speak Spanish by the way. I guess I'm out of luck.

>>2561890
>Fuck you for starting up the same old *bland* bullshit trolling that you always used to do.
ftfy

Are you like the absolutely lamest person irl or what, Adorno?

>>2561899
Then you're fucking stupid.

>>2561899
I am certain in myself that Adorno is the same poster who used to be Deep&Edgy.

Even if he's not, this is incredibly boring and obvious trolling. Come on.

>>2561898
>>2561890

>stop trolling

You're quite literally trolling yourself if you read Borges in translation.
=

Why arent you out right now getting into chaka shit and trying to bang random hipster broads in hopes of drowning out your memories of Zizekgirl?

As to Borges, he is wasted on these monoglot Anglophone swine. Let them go suck off Gabo or Allende.

>>2561901

I'm asking you a question faggot. Just because you disagree with a tripfaggot doesn't mean he's trolling. Now point to examples of his trolling or gtfo with your crying. I haven't been on /lit/ for all that long shithead.

>replying to tripfags seriously
>Chinese year of the Dragon
認真，我希望你不要這樣做

>>2561913

>I haven't been on /lit/ for all that long

Then you are in for a treat friend.
The last thread Adorno blessed us with was, no lie, the best thread we've had in some time.

>>2561913
>>>/b/

It's already been pointed out that Borges helped with his own translations. Spanish and English aren't that far apart and aren't that difficult to go between. I have no idea why Adorno keeps complimenting himself and the Spanish language so peculiarly. For the record, I can read Spanish.

>>2561913
Look at his picture. He constantly goes on about how reading anything in translation is a horrendous offense to everything sacred in the world.

You're a fucking moron and should get the fuck out you faggot.

>>2561910

Well I would, but as I clearly stated above, I happen to be house-sitting. Now unless I can somehow manage to master the art of astral-projection in say the next four hours, I won't be able to do what you've suggested.

>Spanish and English aren't that far apart and aren't that difficult to go between.

What? You have no idea what you're talking about. No wonder you think OP is trolling you. You're an idiot.

>>2561922

What was the thread about?

Just want to point out explicitly that Adorno is a motherfucker

>>2561899
>>2561913

>>2561935
Good argument mate.
Move along.
>>>/v/

adorno you're minimal moral book was wack what is wrong with you why did I buy the hard copy you're thoughts on music are all wrong

>>2561930

Oh ye of little imagination and courage.
How hard would it be to step out for a drink at your local dive (the grimier the better) and dazzle some drunk whore with your knowledge of all things Frankfurt School.
You seal the deal with an appropriately clever line or a line of perico and fuck her in front of the pallid bust of Borges.
Of Zizekgirl youll think of nevermore.

>>2561928

>It's already been pointed out that Borges helped with his own translations

Did he translate the text in its entirety? The gaps in the text only fuels my claim.

>Spanish and English aren't that far apart and aren't that difficult to go between.

Yeah, guy, I can totally see the similarities between the two. You're a master linguist.

>For the record, I can read Spanish.

Enjoy Casa de Asterion. It's a personal favorite of mine.

>>2561952

iz thsi real life?

>>2561940

As to the original topic I cant recall.
But tortellini, coffee, cheesecake, Sabato and Dick, a Lacanian analysis of young Adorno, and Arthur were among some of the topics discussed.

>>2561952

Do I know you?

>>2561960
>Enjoy Casa de Asterion. It's a personal favorite of mine.
Don't you mean "La casa de Asterión"?

>>2561965
There was some Wittgenstein thrown in there somewhere for good measure as well, if I recall.

>>2561904

Hmm, interesting. What evidence do oyu have to back up this theory?

>>2561969

I said that, look at the picture.

>>2561980
It's all fucked mate.
You have to have some pride in your work.

>>2561967

I should hope not.
While I enjoy your posts I think should we ever meet we would be mortal enemies like Ash and Gary.

>>2561985

nothing because D&E was fucking awesome and tripfag Adorno is a slut

>>2561995

deep and edgy was not awesome.

>>2562009

lol so edgy. here on /lit/ everyone loved him

unlike that dick lord quentin

>>2562013
They were both dick lords, dude.

>>2561995

D&E's presence is sorely missed as evidenced by the fact that fantasy peons think it is safe to discuss their tripe on /lit/ again.

>>2561993

I was listening to 'camino de guanajuato' a while ago.

>>2562020

I don't think quentin even had a dick. anyway you clearly don't remember D&E

>>2562025

shut up Adorno we're having a D&E circlejerk here

>>2562023

>Implying Adorno didn't troll the fuck out of fantasy and scififags with his aesthetics thread

>Implying we haven't seen a drop in genre threads due to this

We don't need deep and edgy. We got this faggot right here>>2561887

>>2562026
Eh.
sage

I can kind of read spanish. Like I get it, but not all of it. 70ish percent. Spanish is the easiest language on earth to learn, if you know some french or other romance languages. The hardest part is gendered nouns (but you don't really need to know that that well to read it). As for word order, it's much more flexible than English. Plus it sounds amazing.

But I think the historical Adorno would be disappointed in this offering by his eponymous tripfiend.

>>2562036

If there is a hell, then I would think that the historical Adorno would be far more preoccupied with figuring out what he did to deserve being anally penetrated with a flute until Christ returns to us than with the musings of a young political theorist on translation.

>>2561951

Did you get the Verso clothbound? Beautiful edition. Wasn't expecting that. Their editions are usually shit.

>>2562052

actuallly yes lol. I haven't read it though. I just have it sitting open to a page so arts majors will suck my off when they see it (I"m a maths major)

>>2562054

Why would he be in hell?

>>2562062

>2012
>trying to impress vapid whores with Adorno

Sinceramenta espero que uds. chavos no hagan eso.
You'll want Hegel and Kant around for such occasions.

>>2562077

yeah I use those when I need Lana Del Rey (Lana = anaL)

>>2562083

Ay como albureas, que hombre.
The bitches must love your wordplay bruh.
At that point namedropping is moot.

>>2561965

>a Lacanian analysis of young Adorno

My memory fails me.I regret not screencapping that wondrous post. ;_;

>>2562099

I like your doubles. Want to hook up?

>>2562110
It's probably still up, it hasn't been that long.
Also: http://fuuka.warosu.org/lit/

>>2562109

Only if you power bottom and can teach me number theory.
No homo though.

>>2562113

hey it even has the thread a was trolling with chops of sentences from the Stanford dictionary of philosophy. What is this site?

>>2562116

I am an aggressive power bottom and algebraic number theory is my specialty. If you can't cum to Euclid anymore that's fine because I'm above that too.

>>2562117
One of the lit archives.

>>2562113

>According to Adorno Sabato>Dick.
>Dick looks like Zizek.
>Adorno got dumped by a Zizek fangirl.
>Checkmate.

:D

>>2562122
>Dick looks like Zizek.
see >>2561961 it's a morph of their faces lol

>>2562120

Funny you should mention Euclid.
I recently read Flatland and as a result I now find his geometries abhorrent and petty.
As long as you are into docking or any faggy shit like that we should get along wonderfully.

>>2562133
that was a mistake honey, now you'll never be hard during the elements.

>>2562137

lol I jerk off in books and give life to words

>Dick looks like Zizek.

I'm sorry, naive one, but Dick *IS* Zizek.

>>2562166

>implying Slavojshz would ever let fucking Robert Heinlein take pity on him

>>2561887
What I don't like about OPs picture is that simulation is used for two wildly different processes. If simulation really denotes both the translation of a novel (I assume it is one, in any case a literary work) and the relation between the original work and its 'content', simulation is far too broad a term to be in any way useful.

>>2562168
haha remember his book, "How I spent my summer away from mars starting a sex cult on earth" ?

>>2562176

I prefer "How I exposed a secret demon lobby in Congress and fell in love with an old lady."

adorno is boring, at least deeP&edgy is funny sometimes

>>2562357

>Adorno or Deep and Edgy?

go go go

boring mexican try hard troll

jaja, soy argentino y estudiante de letras, leí El Aleph, y es más que recomendable leerlos en su idioma original.
Tambien leí Antología de la literatura fantástica de Borges, Bioy Casares y Victoria Ocampo, pero es una recopilación de cuentos fantásticos y no todos son de los susodichos.

Spanish is such a shitty language

>>2562623

uh, no it isn't? in fact spanish is one of the most efficient languages in the world.

How does one go about getting asked to house-sit? Do you need wealthy, older friends? ;_;

>>2562953

>>2562939
>efficient, widely-spoken languages in the world

ftfy. you might want to look to certian native american languages if you want effieciency

>>2562953
Sabbatical professor student pet situations usually. Ratio of this goes up in private universities.

If you are a model student and an instructor fancies you to follow in their footsteps they naturally like to simultaneously "show off" and give you an "opportunity" to enjoy the finer life academia provides.

I've seen it happen a few times in my life.

Well, I'm assuming poor people don't need someone to watch over their hovels. In fact why would a poor person leave for an extended amount of time, unless they're fleeing a collection agency or something. Also, being in a poor persons house can't be fun. I would kindly decline if asked.

Why are Verso books so ridiculously priced

adorno how many piercings/tattoos do you have?

>>2561887

>Claims to know Spanish
>"Si aun no haz aprendido a leer el castellano no tiene caso que intentes leer cualquier obra de Borges en Ingles o cualquier otro idioma,"

Better brush up on your language skills before you go bragging about them. The point of reading a work in its original language is to catch the subtleties that get lost in translation, something you won't be able to do if your Spanish is still a learner's one.

worst thing about /lit/ is the people who get all butthurt when they spot a troll, e.g. >>2561890

it's so fucking lame

>Implying the collaborative translations between Borges and di Giovanni aren't god-tier and among the best intra-language translations in history

>>2563008
I was about to post the exact same thing
>claims to understand spanish
>cannot use antepresente, uses "si no", instead of "
sino"

>he thinks Baudrillard is not a simplified Debord!
>he actually believes Borges was good enough to be a literary master and not just a reactionary with a few good short stories

>>2563043
>Baudrillard
>simplified Debord

you do them both a disservice by saying such.

>>2563043

Stylistic differences vary among spanish-speaking countries. You'd know this if, you know, you had the slightest clue as to the workings of Spanish as a whole. A for effort though.

>>2563039

>best

That's not the point now is it? Translation is a farce. And Borges is the farcical figurehead for translators.

Tú eres un maricón que se estrelló poco de su madre detrás de la escobilla de baño en el coño.

>>2563230

google translate i presume? that syntax makes little sense.

>>2563569
he's just a modernist.
