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.

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.
