If you say "artist" everyone will think about visual arts

If you're a musician, a movie director/actor or an architect and you call yourself "artist" everyone (people on /lit/ incouded) will call you pretentious

>>9288176

Musicians and actors get called artists all the fucking time, don't know what you're on about.

Architect I'll agree, no one calls them artists, but what people think Architects do is actually what Blueprint Engineers do

Those damn frenchmen and their bloody revolution, amirite?

State capitalism is totally communism

re-work the first part-- it seems to come from the perspective of a comic, whose bread and butter is laughter; whereas the second part seems addressed to someone who perhaps takes life far too seriously, and needs to lighten up..

It lacks harmony of intention.

>>9287992
Sometimes it's not that you laughed, but the fact that you laughed.

The bugbear's 'important' -get rid of it.

>>9288042
>>9288055

txh, but without 'important' it doesn't really sound liek a full sentence.

What about:

'The essence lies not in the (source of) laughter, but in the fact that you laughed at all.'

Harold Bloom says he is garbage.

It's interesting how the grammar hasn't aged that much over the time period, compared to other European languages

Try uh, Jacques le Goff on time and work in the Middle Ages, maybe also try Georges Duby.

Try also uhhhhh Emmanuel le Roy Ladurie, both "Paysans de Languedoc" and "Montaillou"

Also Marc Bloch's Feudal Society, and his French Rural History, both his most famous works though the former is more synthetic and the latter more for its methodological groundbreaking (which was inspirational for the above dudes)

All of these guys are Annalistes (historians of the French "Annales school"), sometimes called New History or "history from the bottom up" in France, basically the era of social-economic historiography that displaced the older narratives of top-level politics and kings and all that. That's a simplification, but it works.

In England and Germany things are a bit harder. England took a lot longer to transition to that style of history, famously associated with the Marxist EP Thompson in the 60s and 70s. Even then, for medieval stuff, legal history is much more prominent (Maitland etc.) I think. In Germany, you get a weird mixture of volkisch history and then a LOT of focus on magisterial and legal history (I think). Of course there are exceptions, but France is probably your best bet for specifically rural history.

Maybe also look at Natalie Zemon Davis, her general stuff from the 70s (which is collected in an anthology somewhere) but particularly her book on Martin Guerre and Ginzburg's book on Menocchio

I can read French and don't give a fuck about England if it helps

/lit/ is a slow board! Please take the time to read what others have written, and try to make thoughtful, well-written posts of your own. Bump replies are not necessary.
You get no answer for not reading the sticky, fuckface.

I read an account a doctor had in the 1800's of a woman that had a panic attack because of a horror novel she read. It was apparently the first "jump scare" in written history. Imagine it, being such a pussy that you get jump scared by words, lmao

if you like Cohen, I recommend checking out Warren Zevon and Randy Newman (yes the toy story guy). Better known musicians like Tom Waits and Nick Cave also kind of fall into this category of americana/blues/folk/rock stuff.

I forget what it's called but it was a simple civil ware cipher. I don't really know this but I swear I remember reading about it in some "kodes for kids" type book when I was a little guy.

Ohh that's right it's called Pigpen cipher.

MBTI is a terrible model of personalities, but you're getting at is a real phenomenon. When people with certain personality types try to write, it's as awkward as normies trying to start memes.

I don't know what it means, but I was expecting him to shrug at some point.

>>9287629
It was poorly written, that's for sure

i think i understood it but it seems mean and narcissistic.
basically "the poet" aka author's self insert, says he loves his woman but is struggling with his physical limitations in actually doign so (he refers to his back but means his soul's center and body, aka use of his mind/self). He would probably dramaticize it by saying it's stressed by a weight on his shoulders, hence the name atlas.
He can't promise the woman anything so he basically just lies to her because she's apparently very dumb by telling her that they'll go somewhere aka death instead of giving a straight answer.

i dunno he seems kinda autistic? maybe's she's playing him?
