I would give up every page of Deleuze if it meant universalizing just this and nothing else.
The more you study the Great Books, the more insane and unemployable you become. On the upside tho, you stop caring about those things around 5 years in. Instead, you care about pastries and local tap water quality.
Because the humanities have a literary quality. Every sentence has been carefully crafted and ad-libbing just won't do. The precise wording is as much a fundamental part of the paper as the findings. It's not the same in the sciences and social sciences.
Why do academics in the humanities read their papers aloud, word for word, when they give talks at universities or at meetings, while scientists generally speak extemporaneously? If you read, you might as well just hand out the paper. It's a mystery. whyevolutionistrue.com/2025/08/11/why…
Judith Butler never said "performative" like gender was just a drag show but in the sense of "repeated social practices create gender". to give an example of "performative" used the right way (in Judith Butler theory) think about the phrase "I pronounce you husband and wife" 1/
from Gombrowicz’s Diary: “To me, art almost always speaks more forcefully when it appears in an imperfect, accidental, and fragmentary way, somehow just signaling its presence, allowing one to feel it through the ineptitude of the interpretation. [+]
i wrote about the collective obsession with productivity and what it means for our leisure and our labour. link in bio:

This June 2025 please read Giovanni's Room if you haven't already. It is a literary and moral imperative for everyone.
My favorite definition of love Rainer Maria Rilke:
Marx's innovation was never communism. Communal villages and the commons used to be somewhat common in Europe before Marx and they were relatively common around the world. Marx's innovation is his dialectical & immanent critique of political economy and his materialism.
Rather than releasing whimpering statements every time something happens wrt teachers at Ashoka University, the university faculty should try to democratize this super-elite, glorified educational consultancy. At least 10 faculty have been shunted out or forced to quit till date.
welpppp but this hits hard — truly, there’s a kind of enchantment that real works of literature bring that theory, literary or otherwise, simply can’t..
The thing about academic theories of literature is they’re great till you go back to the books themselves and read one, at which point all the theories crumble because a single real work of literature is vaster and more complex than every butterfly-pinning theory put together
