>>4170787

Well, to some extent - yes. Both Hegel and Danto play pretty significant roles in many of the theories put forward, but it's a growing sub-discipline of aesthetics that explores art before the existence of art an established medium. I would go into further detail, but I don't know your background - you sound well read, but how well read?

There's three writers because I really admire Ballard but it's hard to enjoy someone so brutal at times, Bolano because he's lovely to read, there's no other author whose works I consume quite so fast and Queneau because he's hilarious.

Sorry for my late response; not sure if you are even still here, but Jung's shit is pretty interesting. Well, all I've read was his books concerning archetypes, personae, and shadows, which I decided to pursue because of vidya (ie, the Persona series). Also I am a psych major and I hate Freud, so that factored into my drive to read Jung. But yeah I recommend his works.

Have any of you cunts actually read the World as Will and Representation? He contradicts himself on his central idea. Brb, can't know the thing in itself but can know the "will" in itself? Schopenhauer is laughable as a metaphysician. You plebs have probably only read an aphorism or two.

I believe he put it like stuff is objectively/externally experienced as presentation in that not really knowable sense and we can observe ourself in this way as well. But we can also observe ourselves from the internal perspective, as being what we are in addition to merely observing what we are, and thereby know the will as we are will. We are the only thing we experience directly and in ourselves we can experience the will. We can know one ding an sich because we are it.

The problem with this interpretation is that it ignores that fact that Schopenhauer was obviously stating that one could recognize the will in itself of all things, hence 'world as Will'. If Schopenhauer believed that we could only know our will's in themselves, it wouldn't be all that profound because one individual could have a differing 'will' than another, and you really couldn't recognize that there is an inter-connectivity of Will--which was another of Schopenhauer's main points. Now, I'm not trying to hate on the guy, but I hope that we all can see how problematic his attempt at creating a metaphysical lens of the world was for him. I mean, this isn't Heidegger's Being we're discussing, this is a kind of subterranean Energy that Schopenhauer thought that one could perceive in itself of all things--whilst simultaneously being stuck in one's phenomenal experience. How does that make any sense...?

I've read Great Expectations, Copperfield, Tale of Two Titties (every fucking time) and am about to start Oliver Twist. That's not his full body of work, but it's enough to consider him a favorite. Even by reading Moby Dick and really really loving it, you can consider Melville your favorite.

It's not the will of a person but rather a person of the will. Very important difference. We're manifestations of it, not the other way around.

Because of the duplicity of our experience of ourselves. One of those perspectives is phenomenal, but the other is direct. Like maya/atman. We only see the other waves and call them waves and speculate about their being, but we're a wave ourselves and we feel wet as shit, thereby knowing our nature to be water. Something like that.

I did my BA in English and philosophy and have read enough heavy sledding celebrated Western canon books to last me a lifetime. I enjoyed a lot of them (Moby-Dick's my all-time fav) but I have a lot more fun reading fantasy and more lighthearted stuff like Steinbeck.

>Also, do you really need to read a full body of work for an author to be your favorite?
No, but if OP wanted to know a single book s/he'd have asked exactly that. I read it as choosing someone we consistently enjoy.

Perhaps. Tolkien popularized high fantasy, and Steinbeck is a big name in regional American writing. Both are often dismissed (wrongly in my opinion) for exactly those reasons.

You must be an amerifat.
In Europe, we appreciate american literature, also movies, but one thing we never hear about is american TV and talk shows.
I heard about Franzen through the usual channels, probably a cultural guide magazine.
The editor may have mentioned "best-seller" in the USA, which didn't stop me, as I'm not a snob, I don't despise the masses or wide success by principle (Oscar Wilde was selling a lot too).
Now, after I absolutely loved "The Corrections", I started looking up Franzen online.
That's when I heard about his bittersweet relationship with an obnoxious fat feminist talk show host, targetting the desperate housewives of Murrica.
Chance is, were I an American, I'd be like you, I'd never have read Franzen, like I have never watched "Untouchables" or "The Artist", which were big hits here, or Avatar. When I'm almost forced by all the medias to watch something, I become suspicious, almost paranoid. I'm afraid there will be subliminal messages hidden in isolated frames, like "obey", or "take responsibility for yourself".

I suggest you gave Franzen a try.
Maybe Oprah Winfrey is not that stupid.
The Corrections is an ambitious book, the beginning is rather difficult (no captatio benevolentiae...).
I thought Murkans were less snobbish that us, and didn't despise success or money?
Now, I'm not a Franzen fanboy, I read his latest work, "Freedom", it was pretty bad.
I think The Corrections were largely autobiographical, he knew what he was talking about, and the characters were probably already-made. In Freedom, the characters appear as stereotypes (the cuckold loser, the aging womanizing rock star, the judgemental housewife...).
It's often the effect great success has on an artist : it gives them too much confidence, makes them too ambitious, like when Radiohead made Kid A or when Nick Hornby started to write about ethics.

Nice assumptions. I'm European so I'm not buying your bullshit about our patrician continent free from American television. The filth trickles through and we've also become great at making our own.

Wut?
Where le foutre have you heard that?
Sure, some Murkan TV concepts were imported here, like you imported Big Brother from the Netherlands.
But ask a random frenchman who doesn't spend his days on the english-speaking internet who Jerry Springer is, 99% will be unable to answer.

The closest thing we had to Jerry Springer was "C'est mon choix" (it's my choice) by Evelyne Thomas, at 2p.m. (designed for the housewives after they took the kids to school), produced by Jean-Luc Delarue.
It stirred a strong debate about thrash TV. Also, the host was a real feminazi, maybe because of her desperate housewives audience. For those who speak french, you can look up the only good show she made about being a woman, when she invited author and sociologist Alain Soral (which is a kind of brainy Charles Bukowski) (imagine Oprah having the guts to invite Bukowski, that's what Evelyne Thomas did, several times. Probably because it stirred the most madness in the show's live audience. Though not as crazy as Springer's, obviously) (I heard about Springer in American indie movies, btw)

The show was produced by Jean-Luc Delarue, known for a show he ran 20 years, "Ça se discute" (it's debatable), where he was the TV therapist who was speaking too fast, acted too sincere when the guest's stories were making him cry, and is now known for being a cokehead in rehab.

I guess I'll stop now before the discussion gets moved to >>>/tv/ .
Jerry Springer is totally unknown in France.

there would be so much to say about Bourdieu and La Distinction.
I guess I am so confident in my literary taste that I can allow myself to name The Corrections as my favorite novel.
It used to be high-fidelity by Nick Hornby.
It's pretty easy to make obscure books like Ulysses or Finnegans Wake. You don't have to worry about structure, meaning, or truthfulness. You don't have to worry about critics, who won't spit on your book, for fear they'll look like they're not bright enough to understand the beauty of deconstructed post-postmodern literature.

In music, I love The Dresden Dolls. Palmer is trying to start a new movement, I forgot the name, something about honest artists banding together against pretense.
Later, I've heard that there's been a similar literary movement before (though weaker).
Dresden Dolls's Amanda Palmer is married to Neil Gaiman. One of her references (esp. when she was a teen) is The Cure's Robert Smith, particularly his "sensitive man stance" in songs like "Boys don't cry" (I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies...).

My old man was a nouveau-riche, a total snob, who would go on and on about fine wine and his fine cave.
As Stendhal would put it, his only pleasures were "plaisirs d'orgueil", pleasures of pride.
Meanwhile, you miss out on all the pleasures of life, connection, relating, belonging.
This is a correction I'm trying to make.
I abseiled down the ivory tower.
