Susan Sontag Against Interpretation (1964)
Interpretation is not (as most people assume) an absolute value, a gesture of mind situated in some timeless realm of capabilities. Interpretation must itself be evaluated, within a historical view of human
consciousness. In some cultural contexts, interpretation is a liberating act. It is a means of revising, of transvaluing, of escaping the dead past. In other cultural contexts, it is reactionary, impertinent, cowardly, stifling. ()
Ideally, it is possible to elude the interpreters in another way, by making works of art whose surface is so unified and clean, whose momentum is so rapid, whose address is so direct that the work can bejust what it is. Is this possible now It does happen in films, I believe. This is why cinema is the most alive, the most exciting, the most important of all art forms right now. ()
What is important now is to recover our senses. We must learn to see more, to hear more, to feel more.
Our task is not to find the maximum amount of content in a work of art, much less to squeeze more content out of the work than is already there. Our task is to cut back content so that we can see the thing at all. The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art and, by analogy, our own experience more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.

Nun also Susan Sontag. Mit Lesen und Musikhren geniet sie in ihrer Studentenbude den Triumph nicht ich zu sein, wie sie im Tagebuch notiert. Das Schreiben selbst gehrt auch zu diesem Triumph. Es ist gegen sich gerichtet, aber nicht selbstqulerisch. Selbsterkenntnis ist nicht das Ziel. Kraft was ich will ist Kraft Die Kraft zu handeln. Zu sich kommen heit fr sie, sich darauf vorbereiten, gro herauszukommen. Eilenberger gibt eine dichte Beschreibung ihres fr die Bhnen der Welt bestimmten Lebensentwurfes. Sie vertiefte sich tagsber in Beckett, Borges und Benjamin und war jede Nacht auf drei Szenenpartys gleichzeitig sie rauchte drei Schachteln am Tag sie dinierte mittags mit Leonard Bernstein und Jackie Kennedy und ging nachmittags mit deren Schwager Bobby ins Bett sie betrog ihre besten Freundinnen mit deren kahlkpfigen Ehemnnern und sich selbst mit Warren Beatty sie war eine nationale Berhmtheit und konnte von ihrem Schreiben doch kaum leben sie war eine alleinerziehende Mutter und transatlantische Jetsetikone sie strebte nach Tiefe und lie sich von Warhol in dessen Factory fotografieren sie dominierte jede Diskussion und verfluchte sich fr ihre offenbare Unfhigkeit, auch nur ein einziges Mal die Schnauze zu halten.
Anders als Adorno fhlt sich Susan Sontag angezogen vom Betriebsgeheimnis der Kulturindustrie. Sie sucht nach neuen Erlebnisweisen in Film, Fotografie, Funk und Fernsehen. Es geht um den Zauber der Medien und der Masse. Sie wird zu einer intellektuellen Ikone der Avantgarde. Sie will ein Star sein, aber sie kann die Leute nicht leiden, die sie anhimmeln.
Schonungslos im Tagebuch, in der ffentlichkeit bisweilen taktisch, besonders zur Zeit der Anti-Vietnamkriegs-Bewegung 1968. Beim Besuch in Hanoi zeigt sie sich ber die ideologische Gleichschaltung der Menschen entsetzt, doch nur im Tagebuch. In der Reportage sind es ganze Menschen, nicht zerrissen wie wir. Diese doppelte Buchfhrung bekommt ihr nicht gut. Ich habe enorme Schwierigkeiten gehabt, ber mich selbst nachzudenken, mit mir selbst im Kontakt zu sein, heit es im Tagebuch. Es gelingt ihr also, sich ber sich selbst als ffentliche Person aufzuklren. Sie hat sich nicht mit sich selbst verwechselt. Das Philosophieren hat ihr dabei ebenso geholfen wie spter bei ihrem Kampf gegen den Krebs. Krankheit als Metapher ist ein grandioses Werk der Aufklrung, das den realistischen Sinn gegen die Gespensterfurcht strkt. (Zu Geister der Gegenwart von Wolfram Eilenberger: )
Was macht ein Kunstwerk lebendig, und warum kann bermige Interpretation seine Magie zerstren Und wie knnen wir Kunst intensiver erleben, ohne sie auf Begriffe zu reduzieren Gert Scobel diskutiert Susan Sontags radikales Pldoyer fr eine unmittelbare, sinnliche Erfahrung von Kunst jenseits von Was wollte uns der Knstler sagen.

wowsies.
Go big or go to the London gallery offering small beautiful art

Does someone know an agenda for 2025 that has 7 days a week filled on a page (INCLUDING WEEKENDS)

Manosphere bros are into journaling now, apparently. This article takes a cautiously optimistic tone to the trend. I agree. Introspection is a good thing who knows, maybe it could lead to less toxic masculinity.
"This constant curation of our lives for public consumption creates a dangerous feedback loop. We dont value experiences for their intrinsic worthwe value them solely for their shareability. We judge our lives by how they look to others, not by how they feel to us.
The answer to all of this is simpler than you think: start a journal."

Rail replacement for our winter day
Im on my way back from a day with your adorable little face.
The plans to visit grandma and other friends in the Big City were cancelled because the direct trains arent running. Your mum refused to drive so I went to River Town instead.
Tickets to see youYour mum messaged me at 8:30am to confirm the day was going ahead, as I asked her to, because I needed a bit of time to prep your lunch. Over the last few days, youve been unwell with a cough and rash. Both are still present, however now they are mild.
I really hope you get past these constant sicknesses, its starting to worry me a bit. As long as your mum takes you to the GP, all I can do is trust youre being looked after suitably. If I dare to ask, your mum shuts me down with threats of accusing me of harassing her. Im in a horrible position.
I now have access to your GP records but that wont cover every time youre sick so I cant know if your mum is just making excuses. Im kept in the dark and were kept separated.
Our day together
I had originally planned to visit grandma and have lunch with her before visiting Market Street. As the plans changed, in the morning I got ready and cooked you a prawn, cream, spinach and mashed potatoes meal.
I anticipated would have highchairs and like other chain restaurants, would be family-friendly. last week they were great.
You were a little unsettled and didnt eat much so I had to use the various backups which were successful. You were very keen on cheese today and kept asking for more until you finished everything I had! Moor, moor. Its adorable hearing you speak, Ill try and get a video of you saying more soon.
I tried to go for a walk along the canal but it started raining so I thought you would be better off at the library. It was busy with various families and a little reading session was on, I tried to have us join, but I think you wanted to monkey around and release some energy.
Less reading more throwingI can understand why dads grow their beards now!I used an opportunity to video call grandma and then there was little time for anything else as it was getting dark and generally a miserable day. The greatest brightness was absolutely your lovely expressions and sweetest way of playing with other kids.
It breaks my heart that you fall asleep and I disappear for a week or longer at a timeI miss you already so much sweetheart.
