@CitizenWald @MaxaufderRax Who also knows this? There are #threads that really make you dance. This is one. Or rather, it touches on something larger that has fascinated me for long: _senses and history_In short: What in our (otherwise) physiological #perception is changeable through living conditions, #cultural and #media overwriting?In this long "#history of the #senses", impressions, their respective use, #design and interpretation come together.@histodons

@CitizenWald @lloydalter #AlvarAalto? Respect! Wonderful solutions, light and friendly spaces. But: A whole life and it’s works are sometimes deeper than certain quotes. I don't fully know why this one annoys me a little.There are probably two points: - The idea that ornaments would be negligible to human life (the old #AdolfLoos and Bauhaus-epigones vs. newer #StefanSagmeister)- And the degrading fiction of being able to take a "little man" of any kind as a yardstick for humanity.

@CitizenWald @lloydalter In any case - and that was justified. One can understand what this resistance was directed against. But sometimes, despite all the appreciation of historical contexts, one reacts like a contemporary.

@CitizenWald @lloydalter That was certainly a very interesting conversation. And, well, I would probably prefer #AlvarAalto to that, despite everything.

@CitizenWald Oh yes. I started with Modern German Literary History (from 1401), but ended up with Comparative European Literary Studies with a cultural and media studies twist. My doctoral supervisor was a Rilke and Kafka specialist - habilitated on the "novel of the Goethe period" - perhaps known today as an explorer of the cultural history of the dream.

@CitizenWald I remember that we had to work through a reading list of about 600 texts (novels, dramas, novellas, poetological writings, etc.) up to the "intermediate exam" (in the 4th - 5th semester). An object of terror. But I had fun with it. And discovered so much.

@CitizenWald Nevertheless, I think that the idea of a compulsory canon is more difficult to convey today than ever before. Because who determines what is part of a canon and why. The educated bourgeoisie needed this for self-assurance and also to exclude others (cf. Bourdieu etc.). What is "necessary"? The question alone is difficult. For how … can joy and interest in knowing, curiosity and a thirst for knowledge be _taught_?How do you open doors without immediately closing them again?

@CitizenWald Sorry: this thought here still belongs to the one above … On the other hand - and I would like to underline this - #history and #humanities (also: literature and philosophy) today are an important antidote against so many stupidities, dangers and great horrors. They can expose meanness, question supposed certainties, point out commonalities and show alternatives, and so on and so forth. They discuss choices and values and ask what is human.

@CitizenWald All very, very understandable questions. And some of them particularly pressing and urgent in the context of new curricula and upcoming cuts and … changed categories of importance.

@CitizenWald So that's what this mysterious balloon is all about ... And: Oh oh, I saw that when I was a child, somewhere in the back room of a vicarage. Then the following week: "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea".

@dbellingradt @CitizenWald Und darf ich nachfragen, ob "Heä hat Kniis ejjen Uhre" (auch) bedeutet, dass jemand nicht hören will?

@CitizenWald I am not sure. Maybe at universities. But even that? I've read it. A long time ago. Also, by the way...Duke Theodore of Gothland. Tragedy, 1822. And: Jest, Satire, Irony and Deeper Meaning. Comedy, written 1822, 1827. And the latter I seem to have liked … at the time. It was ... weird. But like so many other stories from Germany, Grabbe's reception has a sinister turn: not only the Expressionists, but also Nazis loved him.

But it wasn't always just the stupid and untalented. And that often makes it particularly sad. Think of Jean Paul Sarte or Pablo Neruda. Hymns to Stalin everywhere.The aftermath of liberation from National Socialism, party discipline and so much longing for an alternative, for utopia and hope, that a monster and his regime were defended against everything and even praised. #Utopia #JeanPaulSarte #PabloNeruda #Stalin

@CitizenWald I am extremely curious. Revealing in what way? Because I could think of too many reasons and possibilities. As I said, I am curious.

@CitizenWald Lieben Dank. Oh ja, das verstehe ich. „Stücke … schweifen in Extreme hinaus, die jetzt dem Verfasser wohl Erstaunen abnötigen, doch keinesweges sein Wohlgefallen erregen. Findet nun der Leser neben diesen Extremen nicht eine Masse unverzärtelter Poesie, tüchtigen Scharfsinns und Witzes, so verdient der Verfasser Gewissensbisse und literarische Strafe.“
