Känns det ibland som ni fastnat i fällan: Kodifiering och karakterisering och hierarkier och kulturellt kapital och habitus och genus och över-och-uderordning, som ständiga tvättbräden i kulturen?
I så fall, läs den här artikeln. Den kan muntra mantrat.
"This spread of sociological thinking has led to sociological
living — ways of thinking and seeing that are constructed in order to
carry out, yet somehow escape, the relentless demystification sociology
requires. Seeing art as a product, mere stuff, rather than a work, has
become a sign of a good liberal (as opposed to bad elitist) state of
mind. This is why you must support upper-middlebrow Terrence Malick one
day, and the next spuriously shock everyone with a loud defense of Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
Too often, being on the left tasks you with a vigilant daily quest to
avoid being tagged with snobbery. In sociological living, we place value
on those works or groups that seem most likely to force a reevaluation
of an exclusive or oppressive order, or an order felt to be oppressive
simply because exclusive. And yet despite this perpetual reevaluation of
all values, the underlying social order seems unchanged; the sense of
it all being a game not only persists, but hardens."

Poesi, dikt, lyrik och lögner. Ev. nåt om musik, krocket och fotboll också.
