That Hart Crane's "Emblems of Conduct" is almost wholly composed, and with no acknowledgment, of collaged lines from several poems by Samuel Greenberg?Kent Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15233688630151467658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052308.post-81619312226747418382011-01-22T12:01:55.842-06:002011-01-22T12:01:55.842-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kent Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15233688630151467658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052308.post-79392196526243346922011-01-21T07:14:03.479-06:002011-01-21T07:14:03.479-06:00That's a kind of making-it-new I can get behin...That's a kind of making-it-new I can get behind.

As so much of what people know, or think they know, or have access to knowing, is delivered corrupt from the get-go, or is soon corrupted, why not give ontology a whirl and let epistemology have a needed time-out, at least for a period of reassessment? <br /><br />I've been reading Levi Bryant and the gang at Larval Subjects for a year and a half, and I do think he's "all that." He was previously a Lacanian psychoanalyst and is most welcoming to non-professional philosophers. <br /><br />For literature, OOO is potentially super-invigorating: POV, voice, character, all the categories are blown all the way open. And perhaps the greatest boon is that it lickety-split extracts us from the quicksandy realism v. post-modernism "debate" we're all so very sick of, and for some of us, I would argue, from. <br /><br />Life is new again.Frances Madesonhttp://booktour.com/author/frances_madesonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052308.post-65644114647696577352011-01-20T18:05:54.292-06:002011-01-20T18:05:54.292-06:00Aw, gosh.

The notion of a double movement marching in grubby sneakers warmed me so I lowered the setting on my electric blanket. But isn't it a double double movement? Yes, the beautiful girl comes and goes, but the stuff moves too, Bob. Maybe it's all this object-oriented ontology I've been reading at Larval Subjects that makes me focus equally on the non-human actors, but the stuff is to be sent both "down" and "all around the world" in its own double movement. Makes it all the more dynamic as we move away from stasis.Frances Madesonhttp://booktour.com/author/frances_madesonnoreply@blogger.com
