It's like reading non-fiction

>>10014145
but it´s way more realisitc than non-fiction

>>10014128
Come on, the middle part of 2666 is not that bad.

I have a six figure job lined up at the local literature factory when I graduate this year.

It's a meme degree and you fell for it.

What's even worse?
All those helpful intelligent professors who helped you along the way - they knew it the whole time. They knew they were sending you to failure. And they used you because you were just a statistic they can use to justify funding.

>>10014084
every professor I had explicitly discouraged me from doing literature because they said it's a waste of my talents/prospects given the shitty career outlook

maybe your teachers just didn't care about you cause you're a pseud

Wordsworth pretty much lead the field on this one, because their art is done on the cheap. To be fair to them, their latest editions seem to be much better.

>Wordsworth
they look quite decent i would say

He's just trying to complete the circle of German idealism.

>>10014045
Why is he there?

>>10014045
He doesn't take this thinking to the end. He tries to bestow a divine importance on peace. If the universe is a predestined chamber of energy interacting with itself by a prescribed set of rules then what the fuck does peace even mean?

>defined through its usefulness
Is this necessarily bad, especially for schools focused on practical applications?
>its aversion to formulating generalised theories
Why focused on generalized theories once one recognizes neuro-divergence and the importance of individual assessment?

Moreover, could you be more specific? It's hard to understand what you're on about.

Shutup and read Jung faggit

A switch to idiographic methods would help, but would require retraining literally millions of retards who think quantifying observed phenomena, reifying their observer-constructed quantification data as a "structural" entity, and assuming that entity exists in itself, is science.

It's just not possible. The whole society has run amok on this materialist thinking, not just psychologists or even scientists. They don't even realise what they're doing. Guenon's The Reign of Quantity and the Sign of the Times spells it out pretty clearly. Also Dialect of Enlightenment.

A massive turn toward phenomenology and Goethe would help, but only insofar as it causes an inward, spiritual change.

I'm not sure I understand, OP. So you're interested in writing about Gnosticism it seems, but what specifically is your focus/thesis?

>>10014040
i'm interested in gnosticism indeed. but that is not my main focus. my focus is to understand, on a poetic view point, how the chaos is felt and expressed. were does the imagination come from and how the soul express itself (eventhoug it doesn't express itsel, but just 'is')

my thesis (which is non-existent, for the moment) could be that chaos is felt and that the answer is the delusion of a cosmical order ?

I'm sorry, it's really vague... but I'm expecting to awake some imagination, related to some books ; the books matter

why

Demian but you've probably already read that

Read some real poetry cuck.

>red pill
Just read the Poetry Foundation profile, OP. WCW was an Imagist interested in economical phrasing; clear, sharp imagery; and localization of content. Do a cursory Google search, read a couple of poems, and you'll get the idea.

I lie here thinking of you:—

the stain of love
is upon the world!
Yellow, yellow, yellow
it eats into the leaves,
smears with saffron
the horned branches that lean
heavily
against a smooth purple sky!
There is no light
only a honey-thick stain
that drips from leaf to leaf
and limb to limb
spoiling the colors
of the whole world—

you far off there under
the wine-red selvage of the west!

The writing is from the viewpoint of the grown up main character looking back to when she was growing up (6+).

OP, it's a snapshot into and platform for discussing American race relations in the 20th century, which is an important part of social and political curricula in American high schools. Combined with fortunate reception, good marketing, and mandatory classes/books in schools, it's success was inevitable. Moreover, it's become something of a legacy book, read because it has been read so much and is part of America's collective consciousness. Its literary values aren't as important as its now iconic status.

It's not good. It's just easy to read and simple to teach.

Making people read actual good literature in high school is a bad idea.

provide me with a swift rundown

Excellent reading of it, you'll get the idea a couple minutes in. Redbeard criticizes Christianity, the state, morality, etc.

>>10013962
Though might IS NOT right, it must be answered with might because it doesn't listen.

Yeah, writing is difficult, not particularly enjoyable, and surely not as rewarding (in all senses), but halting your own efforts after comparing your work to focus-group-tested prose is the worse thing you can do.

Write your shit, self-publish your shit, and don't check if others think it's shit. Good luck, OP.

>>10013955
this is good advice that turned into bad advice really fast

>>10013995
Is self-publishing really that much of a meme?

Not at all. Lolita is a favorite of mine.

Ehh, I'll bite. Your bait at least looks interesting.

Could you explain further what you mean by "misogynists when it comes to reading"? Your following question suggests that you conceptualize literary misogyny only as not reading "female-centric books," but I find even that phrase vague and unwieldy.

>>10013943
For example my last boyfriend refused to read anything written by a women for women( such as Jojo Moyes or bronte sisters. He most stuck to classical stuff and some sci-fi which I at least try to read on occasion

No... I have had many boyfriends who look twice as good as that. He is completely repulsive

>>10013919
Mom?

But damn if there isn’t anything sexier /
than a slender boy with a handgun, /
a fast car, a bottle of pills.

>Black people in order to "steal" other people's work
they call it sample on music, i guess it gonna be normal in a few years in literature

>>10013889
What did he mean by this? Seriously.

>what is inspiration
>what is transtextuality
>what is poetry

>>10013848
Fresh meat for dinner then. Excellent.

Dogs will eat shit and fuck their own mothers if you let them.
