Any euros here that know where to get The Recognitions, without paying huge shipping costs? I'm in Belgium if it helps. I tried bol.com, who had 8 weeks to ship, then prolonged that with 4 weeks, to cancel my order and give me my money back after 12 weeks.
>tfw orderd The Recognitions for 18 euros, waiting 12weeks, then having it canceled.

Amazon.de doesn't have it anymore and i saw a secondhand copy there go for 397euros.

Also: who remembers the memequads?

Erotic poetry thread? Something really subtle, yours or of poets you like. Don't give me distasteful shit.
I'll start with an English translation of an Arabian poem:

Star Woman,
the memory of our embrace still lives
in this bed, adjacent to your dreams
and desires, and near these handkerchiefs
drenched in your scent.
You woke in the dawn
at three exactly, drowsing,
still dazed…
Beneath the sounds of your breathing
lurks a worry: where is your mirror?
And this droplet of light
reflecting a passion
that found a name for everything…

Or get some old ass greek shit from Loeb, that's always nice.
Carl Jung as well

Why is it so difficult to define deconstruction? It's almost as if not even Derrida knew exactly what it was supposed to mean
17 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
It's not hard to define: deconstruction is a theoretical approach which rejects the decidability of meaning as a response to the supposedly limiting and contradictory nature of structures (in the structuralist sense)

Deconstructionists would be against any kind of attempt at definition it's against their entire approach, but thankfully we're not deconstructionists, are we?
>>
>>8836820
are you just now coming to the conclusion that deconstructivism is totally bullshit (and responsible for the downfall of academic humanities)?
>>
>>8836832
I should add that this definition should be informed by an understanding that deconstructionists tend to hold the erroneous belief that a concept is something that is either a) properly and rigidly defined and essentially platonic or b) is fundamentally undecidable

The critique of structuralism contained within deconstruction is valuable, but it's not terribly nuanced in its understanding of "ideas."

Linkola is by far the greatest thinker in my country. If you enjoy reading him, give Industrial Society and Its Future by Ted Kaczynski a try.

Thanks, I have read Industrial Society...along with Ted's letters and other books about his life (Secret Life of the Unabomber)

But Linkola is very pro-life and pro-society?

fucking amazing

>>8836567
Really good book honestly. Read it in french and it was delightful.
>>
I really like Dumas, but I'm always amazed at the fact, that he wrote this and the Three Musketeer series as well.

Like, Count of Monte Cristo is this really important book about pain and revenge, and Three Musketeers is basically a story about D'Artagnan fucking bitches and getting into fights.

Any books that come on par with Studio Ghilbi films?

Part of me wants to read Lolita, but every time I read a chunk of it I can't get over how tryhard it all seems. It's like with each verse and sentence Nabokov consciously thought, "How can I make this astoundingly beautiful?" It's kind of grating in large doses.
