Bartleby the Scrivener, but he's an insufferable streamer bro who keeps banging on about his "one life hack" to get out of doing anything.

“During his final years, Melville almost certainly viewed himself as having failed to communicate with American readers …”

“His once promising literary reputation faded [20 years as a bureaucrat]. By all accounts, this […] marked a dark time of personal and professional frustration in Melville’s life. By the time he died, Herman Melville was remembered only for the popular seafaring yarns he had penned during his youth.”

“In evocatively conveying the alienating, psychosocially divisive conditions of modernity in “Bartleby,” Melville [… ] foreshadow[ed] later developments …”

„I would prefer not to.“ Statt #Aktionismus : radikaler Trotz, der sich verweigert. Kein Konsum-Rebell, kein Funktionsmensch – sondern Störung als ethische Haltung. Žižek & Waldenfels lesen Bartleby als Einladung zum Andersdenken.

Universities, law firms, and anyone else complying beforehand. Stop! And follow the lead of NY State's Education Department and refuse to comply.

If outright refusal is too hard, take a page from "Bartleby, the Scrivener," and say "I would prefer not to."

American people are reading all sorts of books to prepare themselves for the new reality that is the US of 2025, but if you work in any kind of office more or less related to any kind of government, Bartleby is the book you should be reading.

Let's face it, despite your grand declarations on social media, you're not going to go underground and start building pipebombs (and if you are, maybe you shouldn't mention it on social media, just saying). Still, there are real ways to resist that are more effective than virtue signaling.

If you need advice, also ask your librarian if they were already in the profession in 2002 when the Patriot Act was passed. (younglings don't remember it, but the US already suffered a coup in 2000 which opened to the doors to today's fascism)

@[email protected] @[email protected] I'd never read #Bartleby before. Thanks for the suggestion! I was both engrossed and frustrated by that story. Definitely left wanting more.

"Nothing so aggravates an earnest person as a passive resistance" is my favorite quote and seems like it deserves a lot more thinking than I've given it so far, particularly in the moment we find ourselves in right now.

I am so confused as to what the #Bartleby Resarch website is all about. You can search topics for grade-school #writing assignments. It returns crappy essays, that are graded as "satisfactory", "decent", or "good". They are full of typos, misspellings, and grammatical mistakes. It presents like a serious site, but why would anyone want a large collection of bad essays?

[05:45] Zelfs als negentiger schrijft deze legendarische journalist nog met een ongekende joie de vivre

In de jaren zestig ontketende de Amerikaanse journalistiek een revolutie, waarbij verslaggevers zich losmaakten van droge opsommingen van feiten en he said, she said-vraaggesprekken. Belangrijke pioniers in dit gebeuren, dat later bekendstaande als 'New Journalism', waren namens Truman Capote, Tom Wolfe, Joan Didion en Norman Mailer.

Weinig journalisten hebben meer bijgedragen aan deze stroming dan Gay Talese - op zijn 92e en nog altijd pico bello in pak. In zijn memoires, "Bartleby & Me", voert hij de lezer terug in de tijd: naar zijn beginjaren als journalis bij The New York Times en Esquire, zijn werkwijze bij het schrijven van zijn magnum opus over Frank Sinatra, en een reconstructie die zeventien jaar vergde, over een Roemeense arts die zijn woning in de chique Upper East Side in New York opblies.

Het tweede hoofdstuk is het memorabelst. Talese neemt meer dan honderd pagina's de ruimte om na te vertellen hoe hij 'Frank Sinatra Has a Cold' maakte - het fenomenale stuk van 15.000 woorden uit 1966 waarin het publiek alles te weten komt over de zanger, zonder dat de auteur hem fatsoenlijk te spreken kreeg.

Wil je ook nog lezen hoe dit stukje Manhattan via een Ierse drukpersmagnaat, een Amerikaans spionnengezelschap en een Russische zakenvrouw bij een suïcidale Roemeen en een Nederlandse diplomate terechtkwam? Als het Gay Talese is die het allemaal opschrijft: liever wel.

"I would prefer not to." -- #Bartleby

#ExcusesForCallingOffWork
#HashTagGames

You know when you reread a book and the main character is doing something awful and you just wish she would do something different than what you know she is going to do? Well, that was me rereading #EdithWharton's #HouseOfMirth. To riff on the end of #Melville's #Bartleby: Ah Lily!, Ah humanity!

#BarnesAndNoble and it’s subsidiary #Bartleby are trying to weasel their way out of their responsibility as one of instigators of flagrant plagiarism, academic fraud, contract cheating and essay mills.

Their first tactic was to send their responses to different email chains rather than respond directly. These emails are automatically sent to spam and are often inadvertently deleted. They the request the same information, over and over again.

November is #NationalCaregiver'sMonth. If you have time to read (or listen to) one #book that magnificently, painfully, and honestly shares the challenges of #caregiving, the complex workings of a #brain with #dementia, and the sheer power of #empathy, read #DashaKiper's #TravelersToUnimaginableLands. You will also learn how #Melville's #Bartleby, #Beckett's #Godot, #Kafka's #Metaphomorphosis, and other works of #literature help us understand #Alzheimer's.

En su último #libro, Bartleby & Me, #Talese recupera al personaje de la historia de Melville, el pasante #Bartleby, como modelo de aquello a lo que ha dedicado su vida periodística: un joven pasante gris, aparentemente irrelevante, que desconcierta a su jefe con su “preferiría no hacerlo” ante cualquier encargo rutinario y que acaba muerto en prisión de una manera insólita. La gran historia detrás del personaje anodino.

#DashaKiper writes about #dementia and #caregiving and identifying with the narrator of #Melville's #Bartleby. In #FindingtheRightWords, I write about identifying with Bartleby in that for a very, very long time, I preferred not to look at my father's #Alzheimer's. My dear friend, co-author, #neurologist, and empath #Dr.BruceMiller helped me look. He looked with me. My father died many years ago, but it remains extraordinarily hard and painful to look. https://lithub.com/what-melvilles-bartleby-the-scrivener-tells-us-about-memory-loss/ #EndAlz
