“In the sixties, the recycling of pop culture turning it into Pop art and camp had its own satirical zest. Now we're into a different kind of recycling. Moviemakers give movies of the past an authority that those movies didn't have; they inflate images that may never have compelled belief, images that were no more than shorthand gestures and they use them not as larger-than-life jokes but as altars.” GivingKindMayArtDifferentUsePastCultureBeliefAuthorityJokesPopsCampsDifferent KindsGesturesSixtyCompelledAltarsPop CultureRecyclingSatiricalZestLarger Than LifePop ArtShorthand Author:Pauline Kael
“Stirner and Nietzsche [adopt] a mode of thinking which is personal, introspective, and which while often operating on alternative systems of belief and action does so only as a means of better grasping one dominant goal the patterns of individual redemption. Stirner and Nietzsche are not primarily interested in critique as such. ... Their work is too egoistically compelled for them ever to employ the external world as more than the repository for a series of projections of their own.” ThinkingWorldMeanDoeActionIndividualBeliefGoalSeriesPatternsRedemptionAlternativesDominantCompelledProjectionCritiqueIntrospectiveGraspingBelief And Action Author:John Carroll
