Obviously everything about this is rediculous and worthy of ridicule but also I note they say they don’t read in a linear manner but say if the “end” of a book is good they’ll read the “beginning” - so they’re still praying at the alter of linear narrative emplotment, I see 🥸

In the 70s Hayden White argued that there existed an elective affinity btw historians’ default “liberal, ameliorist” ideology and an “ironic,” or “satirical” emplotment (eg unexpected consequences). When we talk about “irony” today, it’s as a postmodern vice, not a high modern virtue. Why?

One of the interesting things about Bentham was that he if he critiqued something, he also designed an alternative version of the thing he was critiquing (parliaments, statues, prisons, theatres etc).

Maybe Jonathan Ross is no longer emotionally or psychologically fit to stay on his job regardless of his 10-year ICE emplotment history.
Sounds like he's quick to anger, quick to shoot. PTSD?
How much counseling did he receive if any.

Ran across 2 seeming errors in Hayden White’s “Historical Text as Literary Artifact.” He paraphrases Jakobson incorrectly about selection/combination, and he IDs Michelet’s text as having one master trope on one page, a diff one the next page.

Q2: Discuss the differences between an insurgency and a movida and which way is the best to approach the Chicana past. I argued that both insurgencies and movidas worked hand in hand and you need both, especially as our history utilizes non-linear emplotment. Gave examples.

Wittgenstein: “The world of the happy man is a different one from that of the unhappy man,” even though all the facts are the same.
So it turns out that narrative framing and emplotment matters after all. It’s the stories we tell about the economy, stupid.
