This, Alfred Hitchcock

>>8816933
>In Writing with Hitchcock, a book-length study of Hitchcock's working method with his writers, author Steven DeRosa noted that, "Although he rarely did any actual 'writing', especially on his Hollywood productions, Hitchcock supervised and guided his writers through every draft, insisting on a strict attention to detail and a preference for telling the story through visual rather than verbal means. While this exasperated some writers, others admitted the director inspired them to do their very best work. Hitchcock often emphasised that he took no screen credit for the writing of his films. However, over time the work of many of his writers has been attributed solely to Hitchcock's creative genius, a misconception he rarely went out of his way to correct. Notwithstanding his technical brilliance as a director, Hitchcock relied on his writers a great deal."

beating up on Derrida in anonymode in the 21C is beyond moronic. only retards think the sokal affair meant anything. it makes you look naive, superficial and like a gigantic faggot all at once

positivists positivize
deconstructionists deconstruct
news at eleven

shed some of that edge and try and shit on a philosopher /lit/ actually cares about. you might write something interesting. nobody gives a flying fuck about your hot takes on philosophers you obviously haven't read you degenerate plebcuck

>Mais notre livre, contrairement à la parodie, a une cible strictement limitée - l'abus systématique de concepts et de termes provenant des sciences physico-mathématiques. Jacques Derrida n'entre pas dans cette catégorie. Nous écrivons dans l'introduction: "Bien que la citation de Derrida reprise dans la parodie de Sokal soit assez amusante, elle semble être isolée dans son oeuvre; nous n'avons donc pas inclus de chapitre sur Derrida dans ce livre." Nous prévenons d'ailleurs le lecteur contre l'"amalgame entre les démarches, fort différentes, des auteurs" que nous discutons; ceci vaut, a fortiori, pour les auteurs que nous ne discutons pas, tels que Derrida. Il a donc raison de se plaindre lorsque les médias, en faisant un compte-rendu de notre livre, y mettent parfois sa photo; mais le reproche doit être addressé aux journalistes, et non à nous, qui avons été aussi clairs que possible.
Sokal & Bricmont, Le Monde, 12 décembre 1997

>BTFO as Derrida was by the Sokal Affair?

Sokal Affair appears to be about quantum physics?

>why do the punishments fit the crimes?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrapasso

>Why is it so neatly organized?
As with the rest of the universe, God is the boss. Satan isn't, he's imprisoned there.

I imagine the punishments fit the crimes both to produce good poetry using irony, and to drive home the point that bad people get what they deserve (and the good what they deserve).

Schiller was ultimately right - there is no phenomenon, only noumenon. Nietzsche follows up on this.

>>8816606
so would that be like...essentially a materialist view? I've never read schiller. Just finished a course reading Kant (I have an exam this evening I'm just making this thread for fun) so help me understand if you will.

>Nietzsche follows up on this.

You shut your whore mouth! You know Nietzsche never said such a thing.

I dont know pride but one or two of my classmates have claimed to read no books other than obligatory ones and feel no shame about it.
On the other hand, people who "omg I love books" and only read YA and their favourite book is Harry Potter X, Ive heard and met a lot.

A book's autograph?

Yup, it is less. Don't forget that it was one of the things that so revolted the population of weimar germany that they flocked to the one that hated it with vigour.

Probably the toilet, followed by the big comfy chair in my family room. Also that way of holding a book would fuck up your wrist before too long, just hold it like a normal person.
