Movies Better Than Their Books

A-Social | Waywords Studio ·

2024/04/13

It's a silly argument, really. Different genre require different skills for creation. A poor writer can always be outdone. That said, I agree with this list (and several not on it--looking at you, Bridges of Madison County)!

2024/04/11

No, school teachers, this isn't about you. But it is about a traditional system of education that has failed to provide these advantages for generations and still resists it.

2024/04/02

Provocative idea of the philosophical divorce behind our ways of making meaning. As ever, though, I always grow suspect of the dilemma - perhaps there are other ways worth reading, still . . .

2024/03/31

This has happened before, of course. One wonders who is in charge: the author's control during life (or death), the readers who want more, or the driving power of consumption and money?

Chronic Absenteeism Causes?

A-Social | Waywords Studio ·

2024/03/22

A lot of articles like this. But in almost none of the "analyses" of reasons (Covid, anxieties, home hardship, etc.) does anyone discuss relevance. When schools insist upon "buckling down" to pre-Covid "normalcy" and argue about banning tech from classrooms and curriculum, it's a willful turning away from students' lives.

OpenCulture: Why Learn Just to Work?

A-Social | Waywords Studio ·

2024/02/29

Why do we spend our time laboring for others and base our education towards this purpose? Bertrand Russell and Buckminster Fuller have some ideas on that. A decent summary of their positions and what we might question more aggressively.

Review – In the Margins: On the Pleasures of Reading...

A-Social | Waywords Studio ·

2024/02/15

"Through a plurality of women, including Adriana Cavarero, Hannah Arendt, and Ingeborg Bachmann, Ferrante explodes the singular 'I' who writes. . . . When we tell a story (our own or someone else’s), we are always, for better or worse, every piece of literature we have consumed."

YA Not Just for YA Readers

A-Social | Waywords Studio ·

2024/02/09

True, no one wants to turn anyone away from reading. But YA is still a developmental level of reading, and there are coming-of-age novels, as Jiordan Castle says, that aspire and succeed to more.
