Hello Jstor's blog mod!

I've read that you're interested in the aesthetic and politics of melancholy in modern literature! That sounds so cool!

I wanted to ask you if you have some paper and books to recommend about it to someone who doesn't know a lot. I'm also very interested in history of arts so if you have something that touches it too that would be awesome!!

Sorry for my bad English and thank you very very much, I love your blog and I would have never managed to complete my uni studies without Jstor! :)

Hi there!

Sianne Ngai's Ugly Feelings (on JSTOR, not open access) and Jonathan Flatley's Affective Mapping (also on JSTOR, not open access) really helped me get a handle of affect theory, especially in the context of modern literature.

Walter Benjamin's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction (not a JSTOR link) is a foundational take on how art changed as industrialization took hold. Not saying I agree with everything in the essay, but it seems relevant to your history of the arts interests!

me: "so guys, what are our homeric epithets"

dear friend of mine: "people who are really empathetic"

me: "oh um, well so."

dear friend of mine: "you're kind of an empithemp or whatever"

everyone: erupts into screaming EMPITHEMP?

Tried to translate "A dream, probably" by

English Lyrics:

I'm repeating an unsettling dream (Dreamily, Dreamlike) Dreams of stuff like swimming above traffic lights! (Prancing and getting lost) Before we rub the sleep from our eyes, how about we dissapear! (Chase after me and come visit) "Haa…"

Aah! If you lose your way all alone You'll never get back home Tonight, we're like this Unsleepingly (Sleeping with the moon) If you lose your way all alone You'll never get back home If I wake up, tonight, Where should we go?

Let's get out of here! Somewhere there's nobody else The things I want to erase So they wont be found out Fumbling about while wandering Hollow! Boring! The things I want to erase From this town So they wont be found out A dream while nodding off

Unknown room Unknown face Unknown city

(Though I come to...) (An unwanted Dream) (Though I come to...) (An unwanted Dream) (Though I come to...) (An unwanted Dream) Night continues on

Just free me!

Let's get out of here! To somewhere there's nobody else The things I want to erase So they wont be found out Fumbling about while wandering Hollow! Boring! This very world I want to forget it all Probably (This is a bad dream) Hurry, come wake me please

Translator's Note:

This might be my favorite thing to come out of this year's Vocaduo because OH MY GOD??? it's actually kind of perfection. no notes. the utaite ver is also impeccable!! everyone should listen asap!! the MV is also AMAZING. so so so so so good this deserves top of niconico charts i fear....

I tried to translate "FAKE WORLD" by zemiyaki

English:

Have you grown tired of all these things? The desire to be fulfilled--- Meekly, Proudly, even with a powerful swell of emotion, With closed eyes Descend into dream Now, Welcome! Your fake world

Reach out your arms! Kick out your legs! The one who sent the row to disarray, yes, Says "Understanding isn't enough" Or something like that Be chained by your bonds! Fret the trivial! "Considering the facts" is pointless! Suppose you could see your countless selves, and yet…

I was saved, upon the breadth of morning You told me, "Shall we illuminate?"

Precisely because my once orderly memories are repulsive Tears, as I sleep In my chest I grow deathly I must go soon Your fake world

Flail your arms! Lick the boot! That which is antithetical to fate is, yes, Because suffering is not enough Here… Take advantage

Forget your means! Run with blind faith! With movement never seen before… Don't you see… The days you loved are no more

The far-off distance grows hazy I must go soon Let me say one last thing

Reach out your arms! Kick out your legs! Those who have left the beaten bath are, yes,

Saying things like, "I can't see tomorrow" Without even searching for it

Forget the self! Grow pale! Wishing for this fading existence

If I cannot see you Then I am unneeded.

Translator's Note:

This was an anonymous translation request! It's incredibly late & I'm terribly sorry it did take so long... I got um, lost in the sauce as the kids say... Hope whoever requested this enjoys this song! It's an absolute delight despite being insanely obscure. Thanks so much for sharing it with me it's oddly become a favorite of mine :D

i wonder how much the furry community owes to the sheer homoeroticism of cigarette mascots like joe camel & the kool penguin
