Great. But thematically their issues were bit different and a more close analysis of the power structures against which they rebelled should be pointed out

Comment on Uta Barth’s Distrust of Narrative/Cause and Effect by jwvpk

Thanks Tae. How have you been? Yeah, I agree that the narrative and storytelling-ness are what gets ya, but I’m interested in the honing of images. How do words create this image that works on an associative logic? I’m arguing against a rigid plot point driven way of writing narrative that cuts pieces off to make things fit. I think when writing nurtures the image it works on this whole other level.

Checked out your blog, interesting writing, I appreciate the way you swim in this scene, you seem to take it with lightness and enjoyment.

Anyway, the Uta Barth thing, there’s so many facets here but for me I think that writing does something beautifully and what makes it so IS the narrative. The it ness of writing is in reading the sentences that ring bells and breaks your heart. Just words one after the other making worlds inside your head.

Pictures, they hit us on a more primitive level. Where writing blooms in it’s close relationship with rules, the picture IS us, we learn to see with our minds first and it can be said that the we use writing to make pictures inside of us.

Just a thought. Take care.

Yeah thanks, I just re-read it before sending off my thesis… I don’t know if that’s good or bad. I guess we’ll see! Speaking of: have you been doing any audio lately or have you been focusing on the other stuff? Oh and thanks for the twitter. How do you re-twitter? Is it a reply option or do you do it manually? haha sorry, still new and trying to figure stuff out.

This is just what I needed because I have been agonizing over what direction to take in my art practice. I also like the advice to “Make your own uncool. Make your own world.”
