Loch A’an, Loch A’an, hoo deep ye lie!
Tell nane yer depth and nane shall I.
Bricht though yer deepmaist pit may be,
Ye’ll haunt me till the day I dee.
Bricht, an’ bricht, an’ bricht as air,
Ye’ll haunt me noo for evermair.—Nan Shepherd, “Loch Avon”

“In Shepherd’s writing… true learning—like hill-walking—is arduous. True knowledge of the mountains is only possible through the suffering of the body brought on through the relentless motion of the feet.”

Reversing the camera for a #Photo down the cascade at #UnazukiOnsen, which ends in the #Kurobe river. The red bridge structures, cobble-lining, the moss, the ageing #Modernist hotels - It's all here (in 2019).

#ModernistMonday - today in Czech Koprivnice, where the most beautiful Eastern Block car, Tatra 603, was made 🚗
The city center is a complex of office buildings, with restaurant-commercial building in the middle, on the side of the latter hangs a mosaic. Big lawn with trees is a nice addition, makes the concrete-dominated space liveable. Obviously #Tatra87 stands in the middle ❤️

CW: nations, nationalism, social theory, origins and reevaluation
#sociology So I'm reading an early edition of Gellner's #Nations and #Nationalism. I had read an excerpt- his main case for nationhood and nationalism being heavily #modernist, rooted in the #industrial age, and the most controversial claim I think he makes- that a nation's #history
and a lot of what constitutes its #culture are, well not "fabricated" but a reconstruction.As Anderson talks about in Imagined Communities, the very nature of a nation is it is a binding agent between a group where no one person can ever meet everyone in the outlined group. A lot of unifying culture can be understood as very particular, but through writing, cultural showcases, and the like, made to say they were in time immemorial a widespread unifying practice.
What I'm getting to is reading #Graeber and #Wengrow in The Dawn of Everything, how it invites us to think about what prehistory and the dawn of history were like, and the nature of a nation's origins.
Graeber through all his works was about using his deep knowledge of living communities as a way to propose alternative ways of living, alternative explanations, and create a critique of assumptions. In #Debt he goes on an attack of the believed barter period that predates societies that adopted money.
In Dawn the question is whether the thinkers of classic social thinkers are working off an ahistorical or lightly empirical view of "the state of nature" and how so much social theory derives from thinkers that predate modern archeology and anthropology.
I saw some academics be dismissive of Graeber and Wengrow. They do come into political philosophy with an interpretation but it's a difficult task to bridge knowledge of what Hobbes and Rosseau and others allege, and those thinkers themselves. I do think Graeber always issued important challenges to his readers and the larger community that studies bureaucracy, or kingship, or modern work, or value.
The challenge is thus: when we are discussing, writing, shooting the breeze at a cafe or a late night establishment, how do we relate the ongoing task of assembling primary sources, archeological sites, and the everlasting process of rediscovering scholars who were left out of our education or reading list? In some cases, are we really basing "knowledge" on a series of assumptions going back decades or centuries in social thinking?

Following up on my last post on the Faro 2, Gran Canaria it has some incredible details to which I need to look into the architect more. But there is a slight Brunswick Centre vibe I’m getting.

A bit of slightly processed #Modernist #Architecture from #Salou in #Spain taken on a holiday there with my family back in 2016. You can see immediately that there's some #Brutalism in effect here but the curved corners to the matching buildings hints at Streamline Moderne #ArtDeco influences too. What I liked about these buildings was how the effect on the edges was almost to make the hard, gritty, concrete buildings look soft and cushioned.
