OCSB yea yea yea huh OH
the concept map is the intake and the output, its ok to integrate, its GOOD its necessary to integrate
the green tide is coming in, the tide is coming in
its usually ok, the levees leak but i have a harbor attendant, shes very attentive.
whats interesting is that even the green tide is lunar, a neap tide
neat tide
neat thoughts, mapped out thoughts mapped out in neat circles with a scratchy pen and multidirectionality
whats ALSO insteresting is that writing papers, i always want to write a paper about the writing of the first paper
i guess thats what psych majors do. majors are the major the primary! the primary colors of american occupationality identity occupationality
its just that the scientific method is my personal enemy
and its becuase of the concept map! intuitive science
intuitive science. literary science!
there is a science of fucking everything...culinary science, political science, administrative science, economic science
why not literary science? thats what i do! im a literary scientist!
african american literary canon.
african/orality is equated with historicism, with conservation and preservation-->prevents the development of a NEW and modern African AMERICAn form, separate from strictly american and strictly african. a weird line
so futurism, the attempt to make orality NEW is still kind of african, and therefore still kind of old. need a way to incorporate and finely control the ratio of old and new, of oral and textual. IS IT POSSIBLE?
i dont think its possible...there can only ever be lots of experiments, and every experiment will have different preterites for narrative reliability, and so there will always be some element of narrative fallacy.
is this going to be an eternal quandary for african american writers? i think so..........
thats why it needs its OWN criticism, one that is designed using a whole new set of semiotic standarads, different from african and different from Moby Dick
still in a nascent stage of forging a canon
...as much as i love Melv.
even landlocked lovers yearn for the sea like navymen
ROMANticism, related to roman? related to classics?
