The Origin of the Work of Art by Heidegger
On the Sublime and the Beautiful by Burke
The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction by Bejamin
Poetics by Aristotle
Aesthetic Theory by Adorno

Hegel and Kant's aesthetics are certainly more challenging but also important, as many philosophers draw ideas or try to criticise them

bump for interest

does urban mean black people? i kinda think it has to if you can't easily think of an example.

This is a pretty broad theme, there are probably a bunch of books that fall under it. Just off the top of my head you could check out the works of Jerome David Salinger and Haruki Murakami.

Yes I do.

What does one use a diary for?

>>9496184
I do, but not regularly. I spend more time writing other things and find journal entries to be mostly masturbatory "I'm so awesome".

>>9496349
I mostly only use it to write down dreams I have and spend some time trying to explore what it could mean.

nobody cares

>>9496135
what is the POINT of doing this?

stupid fuck

Pro: It would be easier since you're starting with your own culture's works and slowly moving towards literary works that can be alienating if you down put the work in.

Con: Texts build upon one another, so there's quite a bit you would miss (or misunderstand) in Shakespeare if you're not familiar with Roman playwrights.

Or, and this is a suggestion, you can read whatever the fuck you want without seeking the approval of strangers on a Cambodian basket-weaving forum.

>>9496130
That's pretty broad. What are you interested in?

Assuming that "critical theory" and "literary theory" have some overlap, you could do worse than pic attached.

Why the fuck would you want to learn critical theory instead of the scientific method?
Do you want to be cucked by the kikes?

>There is a video of Pinecone playing the bongos in a James Wood mask on YouTube.

Anyone want to look for it?

Commence with the Hellenes.

>>9495925
Ok, but is there like a read order? Where do I start?

Iliad and Odyssey. If you finish them read some Plato. Throw Clouds by Aristophanes in there to take the edge off.

Dying is literally a spook.

Goffman's the Presentation of Self in Everyday Life is a good read for understanding the way in which people interact and will better you as a person.

Here it is online for free:

>>9496034
Even the sticky has an almost overwhelming amount of material but I will make sure to check out some of the recommended Greek books from the library.

>>9496085
Thanks anon! I'll 100% read this in the next few days.

God fucking damn it threads like this makes me hate /lit/ with all the power of life I have in me. If /lit/ was a little kid and it said something like this I would whip it with pic related and then rub my dick cheese all over its wounds. Everyone in this thread is so stupid that I am literally pulling my hair out right now. You were supposed to be the chosen ones you fucking walls, you were supposed to be the last bastion of intellectuality in this degenerate world and yet you still only post idiotic shit like this. You know what would have been a better question, one that I would have giggled and clapped at? Whether the Complete Works of Aristotle volume is better for rubbing your dick in than the Complete Works of Plato volume. Instead you post shit like this that is neither funny, nor insightful, nor respectful in any way towards our time and our lives even. Nobody will ever remember your shitty thread you fucking bottle dweller. It's as if you gave us a glimpse into death itself. FUCK.

My diary desu

I think of the coolest story possible.

I don't motivate myself to write, I just write. At least 2000 words a day. If you have to motivate yourself you're not cut out for it.

>>9495671
>Where do you get your inspiration and topics/subjects to write about
Usually from things i'm experiencing like amalgams of different "storylines" going on within my life.
Or I have a feeling or idea that I want to explore so I think of a scenario or story that WOULD explore that or really embody that feeling for me and then i try and write it.
>how do you motivate yourself to write?
i'll usually be sitting around not doing anything and think "i should be writing right now" and then I start writing

You gotta just start doing it. You can't think about it. Action creates new pathways in your brain. If you do the same thing for 30 days in a row, it sticks as a habit. Write everyday for 30 days in a row, you'll keep writing everyday. Setting patterns in your behavior is remarkably easy to do with brute force.

Oh, I also quit wasting my time. When I completely swore off video games my productivity sky rocketed.
