Alright, I'm a big fan of Terry, he's fascinating to listen to, very discursive.... but I've been waiting for ten minutes to find a natural pausing point so I could go fix myself a snack to accompany the rest of his lecture!

Surely there's something interesting to be had in this about the work of rhetoric in the age of mechanical reproduction. Or perhaps something about the disembodied decontextualisation characteristic of replicative consumption and what that means regarding depoliticisation.

Saw him speak speak at Lancaster--always a marvelous orator and thinker, even when I disagree with him.

THIS IS A PIECE OF SHIT

bloom is such an interesting and eminently readable critic

[uranrising]

Literary students can't say "The poem's exuberant tone is at odds with its shambling syntax." [c.35.53] That's the kind of thing arts citicism generally should be like.

let's talk about marxism, baby,

[Zoundsism999]

I'm afraid this man is a charlatan. His marxism is entirely ironical. His notions of education are outdated, and his theory of criticism is eclectic.

[S2Cents]

@Zoundsism999 His marxism is "ironical"? Sounds good.

[zaynzaynzayn]

@Zoundsism999 Haven't you overstated the case?

[wildvenisson]

"quantum physicists work on entities that may or may not exist, there seems to be some doubt about the matter"- Terry Eagleton. Brilliant pun and turn of phrase.

[lambrotheodoros1]

Is it just me or does Terry sound rather deconstructivist here?

[traccan]

I love how he inserts his little asides lecturing the Americans about the history of their political follies and their holes in historical knowledge :)

[wazzup4u]

Whether Harold or Molly Bloom, one a literary theorist the other a literary character in Joyce's imagination, Terry Eagleton might find both equally fictitious.

[wazzup4u]

Foucault, however profound or challenging, would not claim to be a "literary critic" rather a social-cultural historian & theoretician.

[appleschris]

Does anyone reeeally "like"Harold Bloom?

[anothersunsetfalls]

@appleschris i dont think so...

[pawsoned]

@appleschris What's wrong with Poldy?

[pontoeuxino]

Greatest critic? I beg to differ too, that title belongs to Professor Foucault.

[levanyzzuf]

The greatest critic of the 20th century

[IGHON]

@levanyzzuf

I beg to differ but that title belongs to Mr. Harold Bloom
