10 Common Misconceptions About the Renaissance
The Renaissance roughly spanned the 15th and 16th centuries and saw the revival of classical antiquity, with European scholars dedicating themselves to studying art and literature from Ancient Greece and Rome. It’s when William Shakespeare wrote his plays, Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel, and later thinkers like Isaac Newton continued the spirit of inquiry into […]

10 Great Literary Works That Almost Had Terrible Titles

September
September je mesiac prechodov, kedy sa leto pomaly stráca, slnečné lúče ustupujú chladným ránam a pochmúrnym popoludniam. V tomto roku však ten prechod bol netypicky náhly. Ešte vo štvrtok 12. septembra sme sa tešili slnečnému letu a včera, v piatok 13. septembra nás prekvapila sychravá jeseň – teplota klesla o 20 stupňov. Taká náhla zmena na nás najčastejšie depresívne vplýva. Depresívne počasie takmer spravidla býva spojené s melanchóliou, a tá má v literatúre špeciálne miesto. Melanchólia má s … ⌘ Read more

K 170. výročiu narodenia Jozefa Maliaka
“Pán Jozef Maliak známy je širšiemu obecenstvu, ako vytrvalý a svedomitý pracovník a vo všetkých jeho prácach zračí sa táto jeho svedomitosť. Je on iste jediný z pomedzi tunajších Slovákov, ktorý neúnavne prezerá, číta, značí a prekladá, staré dokumenty o našom tunajšom živote.

Peter Saint-Andre: Aristotle Research Report #17: Let the Re-Reading Begin
Just under two years ago, I thought I was done with phase one of my research into Aristotle’s views o human flourishing, having at that point read around 120 distinct works by or related to Aristotle (including all of Plato’s dialogues). Well, I was wrong: since then I’ve read an additional 150 works, almost exclusively in the scholarly literature on Aristotle. Now I have three whole shelves of books about Aristotle in my office…. ⌘ Read more

CASTLE FREAK - Remote Residency for Generative Literature | inside the castle http://www.insidethecastle.org/castle-freak/
Almost every coverage of NaNoGenMo is spun around commercial applications of prose-generating tech or the lack thereof, but nobody involved (AFAIK) sees it as a business venture. They just want to do quantitative experiments on literature.
Hot take: it’s a good thing that genre films & genre literature aren’t taken seriously by the mainstream, because things that are taken seriously aren’t allowed to be interesting/experimental/meaningful. (See: Star Wars, & associated drama)
TBH there is nothing more cyberpunk than a world where actual politically-relevant cyberpunk literature is forgotten while shitty shallow corporatized versions with awful politics are blockbusters.
