  1. #WritersCoffeeClub 20 Aug - Name something unexpected you had to learn for a work.

    "Some texts are born literary, some achieve literariness, and some have literariness thrust upon them.
    There is no 'essence' of literature whatsoever.
    Literature, in the sense of a set of works of assured and unalterable value, distinguished by certain shared inherent properties, does not exist."

  2. 🧵 1/2

    I've just finished reading Herbert Marcuse's "The Aesthetic Dimension: Towards a Critique of Marxist Aesthetics".

    Marcuse makes a powerful case for the the autonomy of art, as neither an escapist refuge nor a simple tool or superstructural reflection of social forces, but as a radical emancipatory force in its own right.

    Even though proponents of the orthodox Marxist aesthetics he criticizes must be as rare as hen's teeth today, his argument, mutatis mutandis, can still be read with profit today by all on the left.

    I read it in hard copy, but it's short enough to read online as a PDF:

    The work was originally published in German under the title "Die Permanenz
    der Kunst: Wider eine bestimmte Marxistische Aesthetik" in 1977.

    In that same year....

  4. My second pixel practice of the day is about the literary concept of "Locus Amoenus", an archetypical utopian place. The poet Ovid says that if there's a Locus Amoenus, there must be also a "Locus Terribilis", where gruesome and dreadful things happen. So I decided to represent my vision of both concepts. 160 × 144 pixels. #locus #literaryTheory #literature #illustration #diagram #volcano #LocusAmoenus #LocusHorribilis #utopia #dystopia #pixelart #ドット絵 @pixel_dailies

  14. I wrote an article for Unsustainable Magazine that is based around my dissertation research findings about what it means to wish for systems overhaul. The consequences of that desire are what I consider now in this article. It gets a bit personal; I am embedded within my own specific context and my observations come out of that situation.
