>"Has anyone actually read these books?"
Is she being serious? Not that I'd expect anything better from someone like her, but what is so hard to imagine about people reading established classics?
Maybe I'm being biased because I don't study literature and can read books of my own choosing and whenever I want to, but if I studied this stuff, I'd definitely be interested in it and have more time to read anyways since it'd be part of my studying. As a student of medicine, I have to pick my books and time carefully.

Based.

It's unbelievable that it has taken this long to respond to the 'canon' with a big YIKES. Should have been way sooner imo.

Pre-modern people may have been ignorant, but that's no excuse to blindly accept the misogynist rants of while male 'artists'. Their work is overrate, boring, and pompous.

And look where they are now. With equality in the publishing industry white men are hardly getting published, which just goes to show that oppression was the only thing making them popular.

The canon got a much needed makeover, and this can only be good for the future.

The question I find more interesting is "Why do schools fail so badly at teaching students why the great novels and their themes matter?" I got a better understanding of why to care about themes from a couple of people on tumblr contrasting Game of Thrones with A Song of Ice and Fire than from more than a decade of English and Literature classes. I have gained a greater appreciation of many great works of literature (and film, etc) from bloggers and video essayists talking about them than I did from any classroom.
I'm not even sure why what the Internet people say is better at making me care. The two obvious possibilities that come to mind are either that they need to explain why themes matter to retain their audience, or that they're willing to criticize the works they analyze. (When was the last time you saw anyone question whether or not Romeo and Juliet was a successful satire on courtly romance stories?)

The canon as a concept is quite useless, I dont quite see the point of it. When we "defend the canon" do we defend the works in the canon or the list/collection itself?

If the former, then we dont need the term canon to defend them. If the latter, I dont even care, who cares about a made-up list

This type of attitude really irks me because I had to deal with it in my teachers a lot in school. They actively discouraged kids from challenging themselves when they caught students reading books they felt were too difficult and that's the type of attitude you have. How they judge a book to be too advanced is anyone's guess.

How the hell are you supposed to become a better reader and thinker if you're not constantly challenging yourself? We have to encourage kids to read these books because we have losers like you trying instill your loser philosophy in them.

I'm a non white. Critisisim of the canon is 100% resentment for being born into a country and culture your people didn't build and formulate, and then having to come to terms with your alienation when seeing it's creators not being like yourself in the most basic way possible. I've accepted it and vowed to use my deep seeded resentment to fuel my own work. I don't deny the value of the canon as much as I would feel better in doing so

if people in academic positions of power are openly skeptical of the idea of a canon then they will dilute it and destroy it over time. what the general public or bloggers think does not matter, but general academic rejection or even only suspicion of the canon will ruin literature.

What annoys me most is not that this video was made, it's the retarded comments in the comment section which have this general theme:
>we're not saying that Melville and Tolstoy are bad, we're just saying there should be more females and non-white authors included in taught literature courses
Then they fail to provide any examples of such authors that should be included when asked. The thought never occurs to them that perhaps the list of greats truly is representative of the greatest works of literature, and that non-whites and women just haven't produced many notable works of fiction. Of course, to think this would involve questioning why that is the case, which would cause great discomfort to them.

Then you have the Gauls, that mixed with the romans, the celtic tribes, the nordic tribes. Europe isn't a single ethnicity, you have to hate whites to assume it is. Do you think pollacks and irishmen look the same and share the same history? The britons and the swedes?

I don't get how people fall for this surface ideologizing.

It's pretty clear that people like her only argue against the canon and even traditional art in general because it gives them clicks and earns them money to be edgy.

This is literally the same kind of logic that drives the massive inflation of administrations at universities; if you have educated a horde of literal parasites in Post-colonial and gender studies, where the fuck are you going to put them since capitalists refuse to hire them?

Let it be known that people like her are only doing what is materially in their interest; getting paid to produce ideology.

Assigned high school books are an encoded message from rule-abiding, conscientious teachers to the ~20% of students who are rule-abiding and conscientious enough to read the readings. They tell these students, "Yes, you are right. Your peers are insane (Lord of the Flies, A Separate Peace). The socially powerful will use their social power to crush you (The Scarlet Letter, Animal Farm, The Crucible). And it's not only individuals. The entire system is fucked (1984, Les Miserables, Heart of Darkness, The Jungle, To Kill A Mockingbird, Wright, Baldwin). And the social/class system (Dickens, Steinbeck, Great Gatsby). And in the off chance that America is currently engaged in a war (odds > 1:1), that war is fucked (Catch-22, War and Peace, The Things They Carried, All Quiet on the Western Front).

Oh, and you can't even believe yourself. You are currently, right now, inhabiting one in a series of painfully obvious, delusional identities that will look silly in retrospect. You can't see it, but almost every adult can (Catcher in the Rye). You, as one individual, can't really fight the root causes of your circumstances. Any outsider can see how misguided you are in your choice of target for this anger (Moby Dick, Don Quixote).

Enjoy this island of exploratory reading. Most adults in your life have settled on media that valorizes people like them and makes low-status clowns out of people from another age bracket, class, or gender. You will probably fall into this trap too. I can see it already. In that book about the famous, rich, athletic wizard, or the average girl with the hot, immortal boyfriend, or the one about the badass warrior/reality TV star who shows the whole world how laudable she really is. Or the one about the guy who saves the world by playing video games.

These assigned books, if all goes well, will serve as a lifelong gravitational pull away from self-delusion and mass market indulgence-peddling. But you have to actually read them, word by word, sentence by sentence, page by page.
