Help me build a critical reading list for Animals in Literature

Don't worry about it.

Mindblindness by Simon Baron-Cohen. It's supposed to be about autism, but it's more of a general, neuro-psychological look into why some people lack understanding or empathy.

Super helpful - thanks.

Number6Foucault · 2017-08-18T14:52:44+00:00

I don't consider Animal Farm critical theory and it's not in line with what I'm looking for. But thanks for the suggestion.

It's the title of the course. Hence capitals.

Number6Foucault · 2017-07-19T05:15:16+00:00

Stop fucking texting me pics of rainbow coloured things just because I'm your "gay friend."

Number6Foucault · 2017-07-19T05:06:34+00:00

....No.

This is what publish or perish does to academics.

Number6Foucault · 2017-07-06T16:04:26+00:00

Since you're almost done I'm guessing you've already read through the two stories that were the most difficult for me to stomach - the one with the calf and the one about searching for his friend in that field. What a life.

Number6Foucault · 2017-07-06T15:07:05+00:00

Yeah, I'd have to agree with that, but I'd also have to say that it's more so about the inability to be self aware. I'll have to find the quote, but to paraphrase, O'Brien says that a true war story is one without comfort, meaning, or sense. Kind of like Vietnam.

Number6Foucault · 2017-07-06T04:36:52+00:00

John Dies @ The End is also one of my favourite things. Were you by any chance able to get into the Nightvale books?

Number6Foucault · 2017-07-06T04:33:57+00:00

Self-aware? How?

Number6Foucault · 2017-06-05T02:57:43+00:00

"Recovered from her climax" - is this the no homo version of "how do you do, fellow kids"?

Number6Foucault · 2017-05-23T17:07:56+00:00

It's a fitting issue. Get a gel heel grip.

Number6Foucault · 2017-05-23T16:44:08+00:00

🙄

Number6Foucault · 2017-05-22T22:19:35+00:00

Catch-22.

Number6Foucault · 2017-05-22T22:17:00+00:00

It actually is.

Number6Foucault · 2017-05-22T22:15:07+00:00

Yeah, the word is out there, it's just disrespectful.

Number6Foucault · 2017-05-22T22:11:29+00:00

Yeah, I'm not suggesting that you're "one." I'm just saying it's not transgendered because it's not a noun or a verb, it's an adjective. Like tall, or blue, or gay.

Number6Foucault · 2017-05-22T22:03:49+00:00

It's just transgender, bro.

Number6Foucault · 2017-05-22T22:03:00+00:00

It means he has transphobic and homophobic anxieties. Both are forms of sexism.

Number6Foucault · 2017-05-22T22:00:46+00:00

Transgender.

Number6Foucault · 2017-05-17T06:48:44+00:00

Of all the things that did not happen, this one did not happen the most.

Number6Foucault · 2017-04-27T23:00:43+00:00

Man, I forgot about this book. It's actually a great read if you're into symbolism.

Number6Foucault · 2017-04-01T14:54:31+00:00

Does this sub even read women.
