"I love you too...Jethro."
Rockband last night was awesome. Random name generator is fun, too, but I wish I could get a flute for my punk-rock Jethro. D:
Been reading the article on Iconography & Iconology in Renaissance Art that Kim passed out a while ago, since she wants us to use it to do a three-page analysis on a piece in our books. It is utterly incomprehensible. The writer had to include tables in the article to "what he has tried to make clear thus far".
Actually, he explains it like this:
"I have summarized in a synoptical table what I have tried to make clear thus far. But we must bear in mind that the neatly differentiated categories, which in this synoptical table seem to indicate three independent spheres of meaning, refer in reality to aspects of one phenomenon, namely, the work of art as a whole. So that, in actual work, the methods of approach which here appear as three unrelated operations of research merge with each other into one organic and indivisible process."
...wtf. The entire article can be easily summed up with his one table, and about three sentences at the end of the section on actual Renaissance art. This, quite obviously, is the biggest case of thesaurus rape, redundant acts of redundancy, and bullshit text I have ever seen. You're lucky I skipped the two pages of intellectually identifying and relating-to-medival-cultures and altogether bullshit involved when the author talks about the meaning of when an acquaintance tips his hat hello to him.
The writer apparently has a thing against Australian bushmen, as well.
I am going to churn this baby out TODAY. Sweeny Todd is playing at Cabot, and there's a gallery opening on Rantoul I wanna see, so if I refer back to actually using a writing style similar to the abuse to confuse and conquer this paper, don't be surprised.
