Stripped of the bitterness of being apparently slighted at the public gallery of the parliament, the letters accompanying the books might be of some interest ... to our junior high students. <BR/><BR/>Alas I can't read Martell's otherwise useful letters without having the words "expanding the stillness" nagging me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-81513196039263002252007-04-20T01:18:00.000-07:002007-04-20T01:18:00.000-07:00In their introduction to "First Drafts" J.L.Granat...In their introduction to "First Drafts" J.L.Granatstein and Norman Hillmer end the first paragraph with the words of journalist Matthew Halton, "Watch out for the first signs of fascism in your own country and operate on them quickly, because in spite of their seductive exterior virility, they are signs of decay, they are signs that we are desparing of reason, desparing of our fine dreams of a sane world." Halton was writing in 1933 and the introduction was written in Canada July 1, 2002.<BR/><BR/>Also I just finished reading "Critique of Cynical Reason" Volume 40 of the University of Minesota Press' Theory and History of Literature series (I only mention this because, while this is completely political, it's also pure literature!) Sloterdijk writes in the conclusion, "Hence, if in modernity, worldly and self-experience converge in spite of all sundering, they do so under the condition that the struggles of self-preservation of privatized subjective reason inwardly as well as outwardly, psychologically as well as technologically, in the intimate domain as well as in political spheres, have generated the same iciness, the same polemical, strategic subjectivisms, and the same quick-footed denial of high-cultural ethical ideals." On page 544, in the conclusion, this sentence is packed with meaning, but you can read the modernity in this sentence as the same that spawned Hitler's rise to power.trophycasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08711415493454478199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-89462900982862967512007-04-19T02:24:00.000-07:002007-04-19T02:24:00.000-07:00Plus you may be interested in this book site as yo...Plus you may be interested in this book site as you are into books.<BR/><BR/>Check out <A HREF="http://bluerectangle.com/" REL="nofollow">BlueRectangle Books</A>.It's a great resource!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-59282519578441140652007-04-19T02:21:00.000-07:002007-04-19T02:21:00.000-07:00I guess the art community has to stand up for its ...I guess the art community has to stand up for its funding rights but you can't blame governments either. For though art is important, it will never be a top funding priority. In any country. There are just too many issues to address. I think art can channel support from many other quarters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-91870090798994455302007-04-18T10:20:00.000-07:002007-04-18T10:20:00.000-07:00i wish someone would send ME a book every two week...i wish someone would send ME a book every two weeks.BabelBabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00467487618830618571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-26819847353437960592007-04-18T09:34:00.000-07:002007-04-18T09:34:00.000-07:00That little note would make me want to cut funding...That little note would make <B>me</B> want to cut funding, its so pretentious and I'm a historically supporter of art funding.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08711695328863277140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-45115245782169554012007-04-18T06:20:00.000-07:002007-04-18T06:20:00.000-07:00How cool!
