KUNDERA- Unbearable Lightness of Being
KITSCHE = ABSOLUTE DENIAL OF SHIT
both literal & metaphorical.
"Kitsch excludes everything from its purview which is essentially unacceptable in human existence."
"When the heart speaks, the mind finds it indecent to object. In the realm of kitsch, the dicatorship of the heart fules supreme. "
(Kitsch derives) from teh basic images people have in their memories- the ungrateful daughter, the neglected father, children running on the grass, the motherland betrayed, first love. (Archetypes)
"On the surface an intelligible lie, underneath, the unintelligible truth showing through."- cracks of painting
