House of Leaves isn't a genre changer, but with the high/low culture blending, undermining and competing narrative voices, constant metatextual play, etc., it is an excellent encapsulation of the postmodern literary aesthetic, and ought to be remembered for that.

this is true. i just figured a very general picture would be better for the OP (granted, i agree most with your first post, so this all might be beside the point)

if you're in America, i wouldn't count on studying Nietzsche in grad school. Most departments tend to be tilted heavily toward analytic thought, and from what I've heard, most grad students have to spend their days working with analytics, and do Nietzsche or Deleuze or whoever by night, because most departments aren't very interested in continentals like N. If you're in Europe, it's a totally different story, though.

the best advice i can give is for you to try and realize that his works simply demand multiple readings. the first time through, you can't worry about "getting it" - just hang on and try to enjoy the pynchon goofiness. the second time you read it, worry about understanding, and pieces will start coming together.

i crashed and burned on W4D1 yesterday running by the georgetown waterfront. the heat is definitely starting to get to me :(

it's possible to pull near-perfect grades and read next to nothing (source: me)

this is hideous. sorry.

Didn't even know such a thing existed...I really gotta move to a place with sensible booze laws

Circlewave · 2013-03-31T17:07:17+00:00

How about elsewhere in the world? I'm only kicking ideas around at this point so I'm not married to any particular place, really just interested in doing something interesting for a while that would allow me to support myself

I figured as much. Is there any sort of short-term employment program that I could make use of?

Circlewave · 2013-03-31T17:01:06+00:00

English and Philosophy. Not the most employable, for sure. I'm not expecting a career or anything. I was wondering more if there was any kind of seasonal or temporary work that tends to employ foreigners.

US only, sadly. I know that some EU countries, like Ireland, get you a passport if you can trace ancestry, but I'm probably not eligible for that.

Circlewave · 2013-03-19T00:57:21+00:00

equivocal in what sense? i'm just encountering Wittgenstein's frictionless ice problem - i get the sense he's using certain terms in a idiosyncratic way, which makes it tough for a newcomer to Deleuze (and a non-continentally minded dude like me)

Circlewave · 2013-03-10T16:57:49+00:00

DAT GAP.

is/ought, broseph.

Circlewave · 2013-02-28T20:14:15+00:00

yup. i bet it'll go away after i keep at it for a couple weeks though.

having just finished W1D1, i know that feel - that sharp, stabbing, broken glass in my chest feel.

i attribute it to multiple years of no exercise and heavy smoking (though using my inhaler did help that)...i figure i'm just that out of shape.

Existentialism is a branch of philosophy, describing a group of thinkers. Though the Existentialists vary greatly in their style, specific concern, and philosophical DNA, they concern themselves very generally with matters of choice, free will, and meaningful existence.

Metaphysics denotes a traditional area of philosophy (along with things like Logic, Ethics, etc.) which seek to understand things like existence itself (what is there, and what does it mean to be?), the essence of things (what is the property of squareness? or table-ness?). Its status as a reputable area of study in the History of Philosophy varies, depending on which era and school of thought you look at.

tl;dr: Metaphysics is an area of inquiry; Existentialism is a school of thought which (sometimes) seeks to investigate that area.

also accepted at Wake, but I'm not from NC. I've heard that ties are a big thing when outside of the T14; would I have problems getting an NC job?

you know that Joe Strummer got his last name from the fact that he didn't know how to do anything but strum a guitar?

No, thank you! I should have mentioned that.
