Jameson is a poor model for scholarship and his career could only come out of a desolated southland that in the first place has always produced more critics than scholars, being put out of step with the world in the way it was/is

Say what you will about all of his other poems—the Florida poems are something out of Zora Neale Hurston

Wallace Stevens talks about darkness and shadow the way Lafcadio Hearn talks about black women and mulattas

The essay on Booker T. Washington in The Souls of Black Folk ends with a call for patriotic assimilation #WhatDatMean

This is going to sound ridiculous but I did not know that Emerson was so educated

Adorno's writing about music & the culture industry describe what happens, & what is at stake, when the social relations of the mode of production cause a form of cognition to go extinct.

AND Zizek is a better appropriator of Deleuze ok I’m done

Zizek is the better Marxist and Lacanian insofar as he is the better provocateur; and, at the end of day, did more for black thought (even if this means getting out of the way of black thought) than his more active, or more established, counterparts. All of this to say that

I prefer my unionism in the key of Stephen Crane rather than Harriet Beecher Stowe, and that Zizek is closer to Crane, Jameson to Stowe

it is totally possible to respect a race and disenfranchise them at the same time. this is the work of conscience. conscience does not run countries, nor does it make revolutions--as the cornerstone to its inefficacy, conscience can do this among many other things

A systemization of Jameson's writings must occur beyond the mere publications that stand in the place of works, real works--but his disciples are not up for the job, and so he will be, going forward, nothing more or less than a grifter with a grift worse than zizek

i can only appreciate one Jameson essay having read 10. this constant excerpting, this incoherence at the level of the whole, touches everything—makes Plato romantic, Aristotle romantic, the classic and the modern; makes the end of all writing the quotebotification of the author,

cerebral and existential overtones—no small number of affective or stylistic treatments will attempt to put their seal, their Arche, their spin on this, but the word, for the time being, maintains a sense of its own: overcrowded though it may be by its French origin
