Hey /lit/,
Been thinking about starting a literary magazine for the past year/two years with hopes of building it into a press. The goal would be to fight back against the extreme liberal bias that is found in the arts communities and give other views/authors with other views voices without fearing being silenced by the entire community with no other opportunities. It's kind of obvious the progressives dominate all types of art and we need to fight back.
Lit Mag would publish short stories, essays, poetry, short comics, and maybe some visual art of some kinds.
What do you think?

/lit/ is a Marxist/Communist board. You won't find help here. Go back to /pol/ Drumpftard
there are not many good right wing authors (there's hamsun etc....but not manyn others). there is no conspiracy within the publishing industry to exclude right wing authors.....they simply don't exist in any considerable numbers.
by starting a magazine with the premise of using right wing authors you are shooting yourself int he foot by essentially trying to sell a poor product....i.e a literary magazine full of shit work.
good luck

It's amazing how a mainstream movie is so much more powerful than all the literature. Literature really is for plebs who are in denial.
>>9292065
You're a big shitposter
their thugnotes was gimmicky but tolerable, earthling cinema as well but it became pleb-service featuring shit movies. That fucking 8-bit philosophy and the wisecrack director/creator weighing in with Game Theory brand of fucking 'the philosophy behind' is just fucking cringe and should be enough to take the shitty channel down.
Would McCarthy fall under postmodernism?
Why?/Why not?
>>9292019
Absolutely not. McCarthy is a storyteller, not whatever postmodernism claims to be.
>>9292019
Later McCarthy are little better than adventure novels, and as such could probably be put under genre fiction.
Suttree, Blood Meridian, and Child of God are all subversive and inconoclastic takes on traditional Americana (the southern gothic, the western, the serial killer) and as such could probably be considered postmodern. The obscurantist end of Blood Meridian for example, or the sympathetic take on Lester's search for "love".
There are practically no authors who identify themselves as postmodernists. It is a term used by critics that has come into currency because of its convenience for critics. Don't get hung up on the term, or in trying to suss out whether your favorite author fits neatly into a category with no clear borders or definitions.
My hot take:postmodernism doesn't even exist. We are still in the late stage of modernism where inferiority is the focus, it's just that the landscape of the inner has changed/is changing fast and drastically.
What is the role of the visual arts in modern society?
Does anyone even care anymore?

>he thinks capitalist-mandated art has any purposes beyond creating weath for the entity that comissioned it
At least socalist realism and relgious iconography aspired to be trancidental.

What did he mean by this?
>>9291928
Sez in the footnote it's about a little birdo whom flies smack into Shade's windowglass
hes a bird who hit glass and died
>>9291928
he identifies as the shadow of a bird that flew into a window

That does seem like a strange mistake to make if you read the book.

Meaning what, method? Depends on style. Maybe picture a scene. You don't have to start at the beginning
Or motivation? Forbid yourself from fapping until you've completed a certain amount of pages
I'm updating my résumé and I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile to include "Able to read and write Latin". What do you think? Are there any literature related skills you include on your résumé? Is there any way I can incorporate being well-read in ancient Greek philosophy without sounding autistic?
You want to make sure your resume isn't too long, only a couple pages. But if you have the space then I'd say sure, go for it. People think Latin is a magical litmus test for intelligence, so it may help a little.
>>9291494
Which sort of jobs are you applying for OP?
>>9291494
You might get away with mentioning Latin, but it depends on the job really.
>Is there any way I can incorporate being well-read in ancient Greek philosophy without sounding autistic?
I don't see this working for you.
