I was gooning for 7 hours listening to Bjork then saw this pop up on my notifications. My thing went soft but I listened and learned a great deal. You have great wisdom! Love Paglia too.
I find this definition of Western culture as "Judeo-Christian" very strange. Hellenic-Christian culture is much more appropriate. Judaism has always been a closed culture and treated marginally in the West (unfortunately perhaps). Analyzing the history of Spain is especially relevant in this case.
I started watching this video with no intention of reading this book in the foreseeable future, and somewhere in the middle found myself ordering it on Amazon and nudging it into my priority reading list... That's the power of a wonderful book reviewer!
Rushed through the first 200 pages and fell off because of how mindblown I was by the sheer content gateway it was...I intend to pick it back up now and follow along, hoping it will break it up for me and be more digestible. I feel one aspect of paglia's individualistic ideology is in direct conflict with her understanding of nature and the feminine chaos element which is innately a collective and not a single entity, so why is it that she doesn't claim a collective mindset for the human race, but this could just be surface level observations from someone who hasn't read the whole book, so I'm excited to see where else she takes it all. It most certainly is still one of my all time favorite works to end up in my hands.
I'm a lurker of your channel, and while I may not read many of the books you talk about, I adore how much you respect each author--and their point of view and opinions. Keep up the phenomenal content.
This has been my desert island book since 2009. Paglia changed my way of thinking and analyzing. Her other books are also brilliant. I got to meet her in Chicago while she promoted her book Glittering Images and she asked to see my marked up copy of Sexual Personae. When she saw how highlighted the chapters on Oscar Wilde are she profusely thanked me, saying they were her favorites.
I discovered this channel a couple of years ago when I started getting sober, and was trying to replace addiction with culture. My life's in a better place now, I'm a much better reader, and if anyone can sell me on this book it's you. Thanks man.
Pleasantly surprised you're doing this. i read this book last year on a whim and its easily one of the best ive ever read.
I thought the same Re: Gaspar Noe and Roadhouse's impacts. I want McGregor in a Noe film 😂
46 minutes!! Wow!
When you said "Sex Passion Violence Death... I mean she is Italian" I lost it.
Wow so glad you made a video on this! It’s been on my TBR
Your channel just get better, like wine
Literally the only person who is making me want the Patreon videos fr
Yes!! So glad you are doing a read-along on this book which has been on my list for months. I'm about to write a dissertation on the interplay between Dionysian/Apollonian forces in certain decadent horror literature so really could not have come at a better time for me. Thank you for the great high-quality content as ever.
really enjoyed this one, deffo going to check out this book at some point
I didn’t expect this!
Thank you for posting. This book changed my life, particularly her insights about synchronicity and astrology.
Cool that you made a video on this! I was planning to read this soon. Though Camille Paglia irritates me, her weirdo sexual academic analysis of art and literature interests me.
Well u finally goaded me into your patreon
