@anonymous what is enemy territory? capitalism? do you remember the end of mission impossible (1996)? 'Ethan presses [explosive chewing gum] into the front window of the helicopter before jumping off. Phelps makes a futile attempt to remove it, and ends up being on the underside of the foot. The gum explodes, killing Krieger, and the blast fortunately propels Hunt onto the back of the train, instead of killing him with shrapnel.'
i don't think it's possible to get out of such a situation without extensive reconstructive back surgery but what options do we have?
you're trying to preempt criticism with these paranoid outward-directed rhetorical strategies. you're trying to outguess the reader, anticipate any critical response they might have so that you can voice it first and leave them speechless. you're determined to shoot first, even if you're shooting your own foot. i wish you would allow the work to have some rhetorical closure. i could psychoanalyze. the naïve subject is uncomfortable existing alongside anything not itself, and tries to make everything into itself by consuming it. you're eating all the food. soon there will be no food left and everyone will be dead.
@c.bren what do you mean by 'pre-empt'? i want to direct criticism - away from the fixed point and toward the arrow.
i engage with the object grammatically. the object 'denotes somebody or something involved in the subject's "performance" of the verb.' it is the author - absent or present - who intrigues me or who i care about as a result of their actions.
but the author is not what i'm emphasizing in this post - it's the verb and its effect on the author and object.
'anticipate any critical response they might have so that you can voice it first and leave them speechless'
i'm familiar with this tactic as it's commonly deployed on hipsterrunoff but i don't see how i'm doing it.
i feel the opposite of this post's sentiments is this
@blaise i dont think new criticism is that different than what you're talking about...i dont believe they saw a work as a closed piece but as layers of difficulty for the 'critic' to sift thru...somewhat like the empty tomb that you say you've left us...a shell without a core except what we (want to) put there...lotsa layers, no center...ok: universe
@a.vois 'New Critics treat a work of literature as if it were self-contained.'
'text' vs 'work':
'The word "text" arose within structuralism as a replacement for the older idea in literary criticism of the "work," which is always complete and deliberately authored.[1] A text must necessarily be thought of as incomplete, indeed as missing something crucial that provides the mechanics of understanding. The text is always partially hidden[...]'
hey! ok. yes a work is before a text. i am already reaching for a microwave burrito btw. new criticism is what was used to be confused by mobius dix. ear-elevant.
the idea of an expanded work (i.e. text) has been [napoleon] blownapart consistently since 196-who cares. like, your analogy of a cannon is great...but references to textuality make me remember wut red pepper salad tastes like slamming against my eye teef as it hits a toilet. u know
ya ya —1. The artist may construct the piece. —2. The piece may be fabricated. —3. The piece need not be built. —Each being equal and consistent with the intent of the artist the decision as to condition rests with the receiver upon the occasion of receivership.

even a child could think what you're thinking right now. fuck. give the kid some credit, cut him some slack, let him go an do his own thing, loosen the reigns, empty the nest in your head, say your goodbyes, give it a rest, take a chillpill, take it easy, take it slow, take a step back and see it from his perspective DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

Work is movement away from "the work." give it up & play chess - there is no worth in the thing, just the action.
BLAISE DOES THAT CANNON WORK
DOES IT SHOOT U WHERE U WANT
OR DO U SHATTER MOST PAINFULLY
INSIDE ENEMY TERRITORY
Do you even try anymore?
@tim it works in the sense that i'm not there anymore

re: cannon-fire, boredom

@blaise
maybe you could choose to inhabit a different narrative altogether? mission impossible makes it's limits clear from the get-go.
i'd rather take part in:
the dark crystal (1982)
or
the wild blue yonder (2005)
but that's just me. i like tom cruise anyway.
"rimshot"
i'm glad comments comments has turned into a surefire "gag-factory"
sell
dark crystal is the mission
wild blue yonder is impossible
bllllaise
am i right in understanding....
that you reckon a cannon was built so we could get away from doing work....
...and instead just form distant stances where we can discuss things as critics?
this has to be a mis-understanding on my part because that sounds like total bullshit, the resulting criticism being 'work' as well.
the wild blue yonder is possible
werner rocked that shit well and good
don't doubt, don't pout
dark crystal was a true mission, yah
just ask my boy froudy b.
the joy is in nevr totally accomplishin it
just inspiring commenters frevr
just ask wendy pini

i'm into casting harsh judgements
are you guys cool with that
sure Anon, jus save the mold
@jesse are you listening to this drama across the street lol
@vomits vomits i think there is a misunderstanding
i'm not bringing up criticism
i'm drawing a line between work as a verb and work as a noun
don't focus on the finger, focus on the territory into which the finger is pointing
