"Is subvocalization bad or removing it might hurt your imagination."

*thinks for a second*

I think you should never subvocalize, OP. Subvocalization is for plebs.

WHAT?
You think people who subvocalize read like that?

Tehilim in case you haven't...

So do they all die on the boat?

I felt I was too old to read it before the last two books came out and never ended up finishing it

>>8235015
You're supposed to be, the whole point of the series was that things don't usually resolve happily with all your questions answered. There is some more stuff in All The Wrong Questions tho

>They don't teach anything relevant.

yeah they do

>>8234940
kemosabe, in order to master that which is relevant, you must first master the irrelevant

Relevant to what?

>>8234939
Why kokoro anon? my friend told me it was about a college student trying to seduce a distinguished older man.

Read Abe first, his stories are rather quick reads and immensely satisfying to read

The box man has a good premise, too

infinite jest

didn't we just have a thread about this a few days ago. what happened to that

"Whatever."

“For the rest of the earth’s organisms, existence is relatively uncomplicated. Their lives are about three things: survival, reproduction, death—and nothing else. But we know too much to content ourselves with surviving, reproducing, dying—and nothing else. We know we are alive and know we will die. We also know we will suffer during our lives before suffering—slowly or quickly—as we draw near to death. This is the knowledge we “enjoy” as the most intelligent organisms to gush from the womb of nature. And being so, we feel shortchanged if there is nothing else for us than to survive, reproduce, and die. We want there to be more to it than that, or to think there is. This is the tragedy: Consciousness has forced us into the paradoxical position of striving to be unself-conscious of what we are—hunks of spoiling flesh on disintegrating bones.”

DAVID FOSTER WALLACE

He wrote one essay and said something in an interview. That's it. If you think his whole ouvre was about "sincerety good; irony bad," you're a moran. Also he was a phony asshole IRL.

Do you actually think people here watch shows like k-on or listen to Jeff Mangum sing "I LOVE YOU JESUS CHRIST" ironically?


only 175 days until Christmas!

Yeah there's a really good recent anthology on Gramsci edited by Marcus Green, _Rethinking Gramsci,_ with the article in there that you're looking for: Derek Boothman, "The Sources for Gramsci’s Concept of Hegemony." Nice and comprehensive, short too. He breaks it up into several categories, with I think primarily the Marxist-Leninist background of the term and then Gramsci's linguistics and philological training.

On the latter note, you're going to want to read his essay on The Southern Question, which is available online. He wrote it in 1926, just before his arrest, I believe. Any good Gramsci intro book will explain its relevance, but it demonstrates the debt he owes to linguistic analysis in formulating his idea of society as a milieu capable of containing various groups (whether hegemonic, subaltern, allied, subordinated, or merely inertially adrift).

Gramsci is also very difficult, for several reasons. First, he requires insane depths of interpretation because he wrote so inconsistently in his notebooks. Several ideas permit multiple interpretations, and several key concepts or phrases have mutually exclusive or even contrary meanings in various places. Second, neo-Gramscianism is very popular, and politically charged (obviously), so existing interpretations tend to be vociferously defensive and invested. For this reason, you will want an accessible but also relatively nonpartisan interpretative summary of Gramsci's main ideas, before delving into the notebooks themselves, and before diving into any random book written by someone who may be appropriating Gramsci in a more one-sided way. The best thing I've found is a very recent (2016) book: _An Introduction to Antonio Gramsci: His Life, Thought, and Legacy_. It's short and easy, but it can be a bit dense - even in interpretation, his ideas require some puzzling out.

On this note, you might also want to read Perry Anderson's famous (and long) article on the "Antinomies of Antonio Gramsci." It is mostly historically important, as recent Gramsci scholarship has moved beyond its relatively shallow reading of Gramsci. But it's still a landmark in Gramsci scholarship.

tldr: Combine the focused-in genealogy of Gramsci's use of the term from Boothman with a more general holistic approach to understanding its significance in Gramsci's overall theory. Either one will provide ample citations for you to follow up if you like.
