Impossibly hard (double snort.)to do right. <BR/><BR/>I suppose my fear would be about the assumptions people would make about who the person was who got interested in this topic.

I have a friend who just graduated who did a lot of really intense philological work, reading whole works in greek etc. while some of my stuff has been difficult, I also know that I mostly rely on translations and only look at sections in greek/latin. And yeah..that makes me feel like a big lame loser. and like I want to explain to people that no, I don't do exactly what he does. anyway, point being that really resonates with how I feel about my own work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-75140398693850422702007-07-31T07:50:00.000-04:002007-07-31T07:50:00.000-04:00i'm with sisyphus: embrace your way of "doing" res...i'm with sisyphus: embrace your way of "doing" research and forget the wise man in the archive shit. the whole discipline--academia itself really, is structured on the masculine, rational, chronological, single-authored, blah blah blah. . . .a model most would say has been somewhat dismantled, what with post-post-post-. . .. -isms and all, but really has an unbelievably long shelf life. <BR/><BR/>on your topic: i do spanish lit, and i wrote once about an erotic novel that refused to narrate the, er. . . . . fucking parts. do you deal with such things in your study?Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16918286498766351046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-18771432730847607872007-07-31T04:13:00.000-04:002007-07-31T04:13:00.000-04:00Oh, awesome!

I mean, fuck all this desire and stuff, and yes, pornography (we have an old geezer at our lit dept studies pornography), they're all just ways of getting around the main point, the sex.<BR/><BR/>Does it all lead to interesting new revelations? Like - well you know, desire for an ending and little death and all that as metaphors for literature and novels. If you think instead about the enjoyment of sex and fucking and the kind of, well, often constructiveness of that you might, I suppose, end up with rather different ideas of literature. Brilliant topic. Now I want to read your book :)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708193382458741745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-67109882082007769792007-07-31T00:01:00.000-04:002007-07-31T00:01:00.000-04:00PPS I don't know if you ever work with German lit ...PPS I don't know if you ever work with German lit but I had to read Elfriede Jelinek a while back and found her wonderfully foul and disturbing.Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-50961357106962839922007-07-31T00:00:00.000-04:002007-07-31T00:00:00.000-04:00Rock on, you!

And screw the whole "Topic X or Y or Z is so frivolous compared to what The Menz are doing" crap --- I mean, acknowledge the feelings of embarrassment and awkwardness 'cause they're there and academia/certain individuals still promote those feelings, but then tell them all to get over themselves and just flaunt what you're doing.<BR/><BR/>PS you got your reader reports back?
