quote:
The interior is not just the universe of the private individual; it is also his etui. Ever since the time of Louis Philippe, the bourgeois has shown a tendency to compensate for the absence of any trace of private life in the big city. He tries to do this within the four walls of his apartment. It is as if he had made it a point of honor not to allow the traces of his everyday objects and accessories to get lost. Indefatigably, he takes the impression of a host of objects; for his slippers and his watches, his blankets and his umbrellas, he devises coverlets and cases. He has a marked preference for velour and plush, which preserve the imprint of all contact. In the style characteristic of the Second Empire, the apartment becomes a sort of cockpit. The traces of its inhabitant are molded into the interior. Here is the origin of the detective story, which inquires into these traces and follows these tracks. Poe-with his "Philosophy of Furniture" and with his "new detectives"- becomes the first physiognomist of the domestic interior. The crinlinals in early detective fiction are neither gendemen nor apaches, but simple private citizens of the middle class ("The Black Cat;' "The Tell-Tale Heart;' "William Wilson").

People associated the "genius of the Jacobins with the genius of the industrials;'but they also attributed to Louis Philippe the saying: "God be praised, and my shops too." The arcades as temples of commodity capital.

quote:
Each generation experiences the fashions of the one immediately preceding it as the most radical antiaphrodisiac imaginable. In this judgment it is not so far off the mark as might be supposed. Every fashion is to some extent a bitter satire on love; in every fashion, perversities are suggested by the most ruthless means. Every fashion stands in opposition to the organic. Every fashion couples the living body to the inorganic world. To the living, fashion defends the rights of the corpse. The fetishism that succumbs to the sex appeal of the inorganic is its vital nerve.

I go to the used bookstore and buy philosophy books with peoples' notes in the margins ... I get a deeper understanding when I can read from two authors on the same subject.

This is basically the last note in the margins, toward the end of Book I of the Critique of Judgment. They never got in to Book II. What an odd place to stop. Right when it's getting wet

idk if it counts, but if you haven't read Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air, you're missing out bigtime. poo poo is intense.
Yesterday I spent a couple hours in the university library, and read part of Chekov's "The Duel" while I was there. I couldn't finish it because I don't have borrowing privileges there, but I'm having a poo poo day so I might go out and see if I can find it in any collections at the public libraries this afternoon. It was really good, I don't know why I haven't read his work before.

yeah, I tried really hard to get into the one about women climbing K2 and just couldn't. it was just not interestingly written at all, which is a drat shame, because the subject deserves better.

im glad I'm not the only one. the subject has lots of potential but I found myself having to re-read sentences really often because I couldn't parse them.
reading k2: triumph and tragedy now which is about the 1986 climbing disasters. it's much better.
