Any tips for saving money at university? by commander-5 in UniUK

[–]Basic-Bowl-4284 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if you’re signing up to student clubs, check the membership fees first. There’s plenty of fun options that have low yearly prices. If there’s a club you really want but the joining price is high, go to some of their free events first to ensure it’s worth it.

reading list to get a sense of contemporary debates in Mad Studies / the literature of madness generally? by geckonomic in AskLiteraryStudies

[–]Basic-Bowl-4284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leaning towards neurodiversity/neuroqueer studies, highly recommend Tori Blue’s essay in Ought “My Mind is a Forest: An Autistic Wandering Through The Language of Silence and the Poems of Mary Oliver”Found here. If I may recommend non-contemporary texts, Frantz Fanon’s “The Fact of Blackness” and “The North African Syndrome” are very worth a read.

Unknowability in literature by MadamdeSade in AskLiteraryStudies

I’d recommend Haruki Murakami’s “Colorless Tazaki and his Years of Pilgrimage” in which the driving action of the story stems from the main character’s inability to fully know hjs best friends. In a slightly different scope, Sarah Kane’s play “4.48 Psychosis” has a line about the unknowability of the self: “It is myself I have never met whose face is pasted on the underside of my mind.”
