Was Bloom right about slam poetry?
>“I can’t bear these accounts I read in the Times and elsewhere of these poetry slams, in which various young men and women in various late-spots are declaiming rant and nonsense at each other. The whole thing is judged by an applause meter which is actually not there, but might as well be. This isn’t even silly; it is the death of art.”

Can we stop posting this pseud?
i slammed your're mom and she applauded me heartily
Poetry slams are garbage, but it sounds like he's only read about them. I don't really trust him anymore since pottergate.
Who would ever guess that a giant in criticism would be undone by a scandal involving a mediocre YA book!
>pottergate
what's this? Did he get backlash for shitting on HP or something?
He's a Jew. Stop posting him
holy fuck they're women and NONwhite and express liberal beliefs?
Let's post this on /pol/, they'll go apeshit
>youtube.com
I only watched this one.
You must be joking, this is absolutely the death of art.
"Vatic, repetitious, imprecisely reverential, though never without a peculiar charm of his own—a kind of campiness, in fact—Bloom as a literary critic in the last few years has been largely unimportant."
But the kekistani brothers know better. Keep choking on that limp cock.
He's a kike who's intent to breed out whiteness. Read Kevin McDonald's Culture of Crituqe
>judged by an applause meter which is actually not there, but might as well be
Isn't all literature effectively judged by "an applause meter," either an actual one (an audience, say the audience for Shakespeare's plays), or one that "is not actually there, but might as well be," i.e., reviews that applaud or fail to applaud, book sales that "applaud" the work or not?
Etc, etc. Quod erat demonstrandum.
I'm feeling kind of sad now....
Every good writer ever has been a jew
try the redpill, jews don't create, only destroy.

He has read more than you possibly could in multiple lifetimes.
I started watching this to hate on some shallow art but honestly this has actual thought put into it. It's a feminist rant and that I can't watch it without rolling my eyes but the delivery and the content is definitely art. If you think this is the death of art than you are probably the death of art. We can't stay in the 19th century forever. As graceless as our culture is it is still the duty of artists to represent it truthfully. I hate poems about cellphones and feminism as much as anyone else but the expression is undeniable regardless.
>He purports to have read more than anyone could in multiple lifetimes
He's been consumed by his obsession with "canonical texts" and a strong (too strong) sense of "preservation", fearing that whatever comes next will either erase, invalidate, or somewhat diminish/disrespect the past works of humanity. Well that's how things developed until now and Mr. Too-Old-To-Be-Told Bloom is just in a grudge against progress, therefore falling into the old (older than him for certain) progress VS tradition dichotomy.
He was reading 500 pages and hour when he was a child.
You're wrong about that. He's updated his list of "modern classics" and added them to the Canon. Blood Meridian for instance.
I should also mention that he says it's very hard to predict what will be timeless, so he just tries his best and picks what he thinks will stand the test of time.
God i hate these /pol brainlets, lately there's been so much shitposting about jews in this board that it's making me miss the "15 DFW threads a day" days
>jews don't create
jewish qts create boners for me all the time
The real question here is whether you're jewish or a white guy who has yet to learn about the problem. The issue begins and ends with you and your ability to understand the phenomena posters who talk about jews on here are trying to address.
Maybe you should try the redpill? Come to /pol/ and we'll tell you how the world really works. Or rather, (((who))) controls things
I just say Judenfrage sometimes bc it's funny to LARP as a Nazi. There is no phenomena they're responding to, it's made-up delusions senpai.
There is a board to discuss this kind of stuff. Here it's about literature.
God no. It's just another case of high vs low art. He's a snob.
>LARP as a Nazi
We're a lot of authentic National Socialists on here, so please don't try to belittle us. We're here to redpill you to the true problems that the white race is facing today

In other words, one might call his attitude "Pharisaical".
You are a subuman. A subhuman that happens to be white
The problem isn't the subject matter but the lack of artistic values. They're not measurable of course, but you still know when a work lacks them if you read/seen/heard the "basics".
If feminism and cellphones are things that define our lives in this day and age, then poems must be written about them. The problem is how those poems are written.
What's a made up delusion? Jewish power and over-representation? Not at all. In fact it's well-documented and readily available.
Yes, and what is the race of the individual involved in literature being discussed here? The problem is that people like yourself think these things are separate or can be separated when they cannot. That said, I didn't inject the original jewish posting into this thread.
>race and literature is one thing
dumb
You should fuck off to somewhere else, mongrel. This is a literature board, and you're a maggot. No matter how much you pretend to read, you'll remain a maggot. Stop seeking validation here. Go farm some upvotes or sperg out on /pol/. Or, preferably, hang yourself.
I am more knowledgeable about literature than you, and can tell that you are the lost-in-your-own-world Harry Potter type who doesn't have the slightest clue about how things function and is prone to psychotic outbursts when people bring up subjects that question your fake reality. So you fuck off.
He probably has his white girlfriend breed with big strong black men while he jerks off in the corner, the absolute cuck
Bad weather in Tel Aviv today?
It's simple. The extremely public nature of slam poetry greatly lessens any artistic merit it may contain.
All art is available to the public.
yet it doesn't need public to exist
wow so deep
It's not about deepness, it's about exposure, means and ambitions, it's about turning poetry into stand-up. So yea, only slam poetry needs a public, not verses.
Do you mean that by definition art is something available to the public?
I guess he refers to Bloom making up that shit about the amount of legstretching occuring in the HP books.
>As far as fiction and chronicle goes, the Old Testament of the Jews is a bad book, full of contradictions, of implausible claims, of unexplained coincidences. Plenty of Jewish theologians have made a living out of trying to provide rational explanations for the hodgepodge of stories contained in the "Tanakh"
What the fuck is his problem?
