❝ Words are to be taken seriously. I try to take seriously acts of language. Words set things in motion. I’ve seen them doing it. Words set up atmospheres, electrical fields, charges. I’ve felt them doing it. Words conjure. I try not to be careless about what I utter, write, sing. I’m careful about what I give voice to. ❞
- Toni Cade Bambara, (“What It Is I Think I’m Doing Anyhow” in The Writer on Her Work, p.163

"Alright, so, anyone who’s ever used the concept “literature” will have absorbed a theory of literature, a set of implicit assumptions—about what it is, what separates it from all other forms of writing, what’s meant by the terms “author” and “reader”, what interventions literature makes in the world, how it produces meaning, how it’s read, how it “should” be read, &c. Studying literary theory makes visible the ideological assumptions you’ve formed, and forces you to scrutinise them.

(Literature becomes twice as interesting when you grasp that it’s not a fixed and constant object of study—“literature” is an unstable, indefinite, contingent concept that is being endlessly negotiated and (re)constructed to accommodate new texts and forms of writing.)

Theory is strange and eclectic: it traverses linguistics, anthropology, sociology, art history, historiography, philosophy, political philosophy, science, aesthetics, &c. It’s the study of the many lenses through which we read literature—but they’re lenses which challenge or reframe or recolour not just the text but the world. Theory dismantles “common sense”. It unsettles and disrupts what you’ve taken for granted.(elucipher)

"Cuz as me the almost-man looks up into that town,
I can hear the 146 men who remain. I can hear every ruddy last one of them.
Their Noise washes down the hill like a flood let loose right at me,
like a fire,
like a monster the size of the sky cuz there’s nowhere to run."
-The Knife of Never Letting Go

❝ LADY MACBETH : Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst cruelty.

Make thick my blood. ❞
- Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act I, Scene 5

the air
darkens and is alive –
o live with me in the fewness of
these colours; ❞

OMOTE REAL TIME FACE TRACKING AND PROJECTION MAPPING Using incredibly precise light projectors, Nobumichi Asai has demonstrated how a person’s face can be digitally altered in real-time. The technique, called Projection Mapping, is relatively common these days, but until now it’s only really been used on static objects like buildings and shoes. - See more at:See mot here

I would cover the city of night with lights
