I feel like it's relevant here, too, no? If my question is about the graphic novel being a form of literature, sending me to /co/ kind of presupposes that it's not, doesn't it?

>>7621448
I waa messing with you. But what would you qualify as a graphic novel?

>>7621193
You are better off somewhere else, /lit/ is full of weightlifting, edgy Ron Swansons with a disdain for anything not concerned with flavour-of-the-month circlejerk.

Who /eatingmeatisliterallymorallyakintomurderandslavery/ here?

>>7621208
It simply means that murder and slavery are not inherently morally wrong.

>>7621153
Just keep reading and you'll naturally get better, mate. Nothing really to do other than that.

>>7621028
To publish anything in Canada you have to be native or a recent immigrant.

That's actually why I want to find the requirements. There is something related to minority quotas. It's an embarrassment and inherent tokenism.

Dragonlance had red-robed wizards.

Three types:
Red, white and black.

Seconding - dragonlance had weird colored mages

That's the one,thank you so much I've been wanting to read it for years now but have never been able to find out what is was based off what little I could remember about it

One of my absolute favorites. The differences in writing styles between the different sections and how they all intertwine is so interesting to me. Letters from Zedelghem is probably my favorite part, along with Adam Ewing's diary. Read it.

Yes.

Of course not. Why are you here?

can you rephrase your questions? he doesnt state that no repression took place; he agrees that there were a lot of prohibitions and silences placed upon sexuality, but at the same time many different political, social, scientific, etc. institutions created new discourses on sexuality. for example, open discussion of sex became increasingly taboo, roughly after the council of trent - however, later in the 19th century, to give one example of one of those ''new discourses''i mentioned, you have psychiatry creating new sexual identities, endlessly recording testimonies about sexual experiences, and so on, producing scientific knowledge.

i dont really follow the rest of your post. he says its too simplistic to attribute the development of attitudes towards sexuality to capitalism, although he's definitely not dismissive of its effects (and the relation of capitalism to sexuality/biopolitics is hard to uncover in foucault's work, in my opinion, because he nuances the relationship continually in other works, notably his late 70s lectures)

I'm thinking about learning Russian. My first step would be to take a twelve week class over the summer at my university.

It seems really fucking hard, but I feel like it would be worth it for all the literature alone (plus I bet there are a ton of government jobs for Russian speakers).

I would advise against Rosetta Stone. Take a class or get a tutor. Rosetta Stone will teach you some basic vocab, that's it. I hope you pirated it, that shit is overpriced.

Italian, got a C2 level in English when I was 19. Learned it out of necessity, nothing I wanted to read or watch or play was translated. Now I read and write almost exclusively in English, and I've never been outed as an ESL speaker anywhere online so I'm at least decent I'd say. It's either that or anglophones are complete, utter idiots. I'm leaning for the former.

Advice to anybody wanting to master a language, go in a place where it's routinely spoken. You'll get better fast, I swear.

She realized that they are inside a novel, there is a future existence controlling their every move and they are in a parallel universe (possibly of many others).

So then what does any of the other shit have to do with anything?

>>7619966
It's a Phillip K. Dick book, what the fuck do you expect. Most of everything he wrote ends abruptly in some psychedelic cop-out. (Not that I don't love it anyway)

>P&V translation

Throw it in the garbage and never touch a book again.

>>7618964
Can't be that bad, right?

But memes aside, which one should I read first?

>>7618982
It's not a meme, this is by far the worst translation of the book you could have possibly picked.

Have fun reading it and thinking it's good only because you've been told it is.

The Stranger, Blood Meridian, A Clockwork Orange
