Brief reprieve...
...Saudi Arabia postpones flogging of blogger Raif Badawi
According to Amnesty International, which has adopted Badawi as a prisoner of conscience, the married father-of-three was removed from his jail cell on Friday morning and taken to the prison clinic for a health check. The doctor concluded that the wounds from last week’s lashings had not yet healed properly and Badawi would be unable to withstand more. He recommended that the flogging be postponed until next week.

...Kolkata Book Fair: The city's love affair with literature
Where there are books, there must be booklifters. In Kolkata, they were censured, but almost indulgently so. One offender caught in the act explained that he had a terminally ill brother whose only solace was reading. A touching story, except that the salesman knew him and pointed out that he was an only child. (He was let off after doing 20 squats for atonement.) Two guilty schoolgirls, sweating and red-faced, got a look over half-moon spectacles, a dressing-down from the stall-owner… and a gift of a book each!

… Unquotable Quotes | Capital Commentary. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)
The problem with reducing complex texts into pull-quotes, blurbs, and slogans is the same problem political rhetoric tends to have reaching any intelligent, self-respecting audience. The poems of Machado and Stevens are both far more appealing in whole cloth than snippet, because good poetry gives and takes. Good art both shows and doesn’t show; it reveals in part, not in full, lest its seductive power be diminished. And great art contains and, in some way, accounts for death.

It’s the very bedrock of the ideals of the Enlightenment, from Voltaire onward to America’s founding fathers. What is new, however, is the fact that Christians, long slammed as “intolerant” and “close-minded,” might now be among the leading candidates to take up its banner.

Deer and butterflies and...people!
This deer is sexually ambiguous. Biologically female, it is typically able to conceive, bear and nurse fawns. But this doe typically manufactures above-average levels of testosterone, giving it a masculinity expressed through the sprouting of antlers, that crown of bone that bucks—that is, male deer—grow each year ahead of mating season....Anecdotal reports suggest that antlered does are outcasts, wary of bucks and ostracized by other does, which tend to run in small packs.
The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University has over 3 million specimens in its entomology collection, but one butterfly stands out from the rest. The butterfly is literally one in a million because it exhibits both the physical characteristics of a male and a female.

Anniversary - Caesar Crossing the Rubicon
January 10th 49 BC...
Caesar was staying in the northern Italian city of Ravenna and he had a decision to make. Either he acquiesced to the Senate's command [to disarm] or he moved southward to confront Pompey and plunge the Roman Republic into a bloody civil war. An ancient Roman law forbade any general from crossing the Rubicon River and entering Italy proper with a standing army. To do so was treason. This tiny stream would reveal Caesar's intentions and mark the point of no return.

The diversity of religious opinion shows, he says, that the source, whatever it is, of religious opinion is unreliable. Consider whatever cognitive processes it is that produce religious opinion: since those processes produce such a variety of mutually conflicting opinion, much or most of what they produce is false. Hence, those sources must be considered unreliable. And if they are unreliable, Kitcher thinks, the opinions they produce are almost certainly false: "Secularist doubt is prompted by probing the processes that generate specific beliefs about the transcendent. Those processes are so unreliable that all of the conflicting specific religious doctrines are, almost certainly, false" (19).
William James would certainly find it peculiar to argue that the variety of religious experience is proof that religious doctrines are almost certainly false. Moreover, underlying the diversity is some very significant unity. One suspects that the Buddha would be in agreement with Lao Tzu and Heraclitus regarding, respectively, the Tao and the Logos. As D. T. Suzuki pointed out, Meister Eckhart seems to have hit on something remarkably similar to Zen entirely on his own. In fact, the mystics seem almost entirely in agreement with each other.

I spent my time—for that year and a half—in full-on public engagement. I developed a certain comfort level and skill for public speaking. When I began my book tour, I was asked by an organization interested in booking me as a speaker to describe my “message.” I was confounded. I was a novelist and memoirist, I said. I didn’t have a message. Wrong answer. I quickly learned that if I wanted the opportunity to speak in front of audiences larger than the dozen or so who frequent bookstore readings, I would have to reverse-engineer my book in order to unearth some sound bites. As I traveled the country disguised as something of a motivational speaker, I was away from my husband, my young son, my home, my dogs, my desk. At a certain point, I began to see that I was away from my self—the very self that had written the book.

That's not what maieutics meant back when I was studying Plato. In the Platonic sense, the teacher is the midwife helping the pupil to give birth to authentic thought. We learn by means of encounter — with our teacher, and with experience.
The question of man was asked over and over again, Greif shows, usually in similar terms. Writers on the subject lamented the decline of Enlightenment ideals, asked where society had gone wrong, and often found the culprit in technology. They called for what Greif calls “re-enlightenment,” a return to the ideals of freedom, reason, and individualism that modern Europe seemed to have abandoned.Yet he finds this discourse generally unimpressive, lacking originality and profundity. The best way to understand it, Greif argues, is as “maieutics.” The word comes from the Greek for “midwife,” and a maieutic argument like the crisis-of-man discourse is less concerned with establishing truth than with eliciting certain responses in the audience. By talking about man, in other words, these mid-century writers hoped to will him into being, at a time when he seemed about to disappear.

Patrick Modiano
I had a long chat last week with Frank about Patrick Modiano, the French author who's been awarded the Nobel Prize.
Like many, I was not familiar with Modiano's oeuvre, despite the fact that he's put out a book a year for the past several decades.
And so, this week, I bought and read one of the few Modiano texts translated into English, Dora Bruder. I'll be writing a formal review of the book for Rain Taxi later this winter. For now, though, let me say: what a terribly sad work. But then, what a transcendent one, too.
Much like Sebald, Modiano lurks in the shadows, in those spaces overcome with tragedy and loss. I finished Dora Bruder in three sittings, and it's sure to stay with me. I'll publish a link to my review when it appears.
With Paris in the news so much this week, and with violence swirling around, there was something about reading Modiano at this moment - this exact moment - that seemed so perfectly, well, Modiano.
For here's an author who believes in connections across time and space. And to read his book about Paris now - about the city at a different time, of course, but under equally violent conditions - evoked that transcendent, almost eerie, quality for which Modiano must be known.
Let me highly recommend this book.

The journalists at Charlie Hebdo are now rightly being celebrated as martyrs on behalf of freedom of expression, but let’s face it: If they had tried to publish their satirical newspaper on any American university campus over the last two decades it wouldn’t have lasted 30 seconds. Student and faculty groups would have accused them of hate speech. The administration would have cut financing and shut them down.My, my. That's David Brooks. Good for him.
Sad, pure hypocrisy at the New York Times...
Mr. Baquet told me that he started out the day Wednesday convinced that The Times should publish the images, both because of their newsworthiness and out of a sense of solidarity with the slain journalists and the right of free expression.
He said he had spent “about half of my day” on the question, seeking out the views of senior editors and reaching out to reporters and editors in some of The Times’s international bureaus. They told him they would not feel endangered if The Times reproduced the images, he told me, but he remained concerned about staff safety.
“I sought out a lot of views, and I changed my mind twice,” he said. “It had to be my decision alone.”
Ultimately, he decided against it, he said, because he had to consider foremost the sensibilities of Times readers, especially its Muslim readers. To many of them, he said, depictions of the prophet Muhammad are sacrilegious; those that are meant to mock even more so. “We have a standard that is long held and that serves us well: that there is a line between gratuitous insult and satire. Most of these are gratuitous insult.”

...The truth is that Western governments are content to sacrifice liberties and freedoms when being complicit to torture and rendition — or when restricting the freedom of movement of Muslims, under the guise of protecting national security.
So why in this case did the French government allow the magazine Charlie Hebdo to continue to provoke Muslims, thereby placing the sanctity of its citizens at risk?

The Blame for the Charlie Hebdo Murders
...A religion is not just a set of texts but the living beliefs and practices of its adherents. Islam today includes a substantial minority of believers who countenance, if they don’t actually carry out, a degree of violence in the application of their convictions that is currently unique. Charlie Hebdo had been nondenominational in its satire, sticking its finger into the sensitivities of Jews and Christians, too—but only Muslims responded with threats and acts of terrorism. For some believers, the violence serves a will to absolute power in the name of God, which is a form of totalitarianism called Islamism—politics as religion, religion as politics. “Allahu Akbar!” the killers shouted in the street outside Charlie Hebdo. They, at any rate, know what they’re about.

… What We Lose if We Lose the Canon - The Chronicle Review - The Chronicle of Higher Education. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)
A few decades ago the modernists themselves became precursors when a loose confederation of critics and philosophers decided that modernism consisted of work that was too oblique and too self-consciously "high art" while remaining at the same time innocent of its own socio-semiotic implications. But what made the postmodern charter different was its willingness to discard the very idea of standards. Starting from the premise that aesthetics were just another social construct rather than a product of universal principles, postmodernist thinkers succeeded in toppling hierarchies and nullifying the literary canon. Indeed, they were so good at unearthing the socioeconomic considerations behind canon formation that even unapologetic highbrows had to wonder if they hadn’t been bamboozled by Arnoldian acolytes and eloquent ideologues.A necessary consequence of too many ordinary intellects managing to wangle for themselves a Ph. D.
I take a very latitudinarian view of literature and culture. I think an acquaintance with Homer, Sophocles, and Plato is essential if you want your mind to be situated within a temporal context that is both broad and deep. But there are quite of few such from quite a few different eras. It is also essential to read Montaigne, Dr. Johnson, and Walter Pater. If you like crime fiction and have not read The Moonstone, you should not read another crime novel until you have. The house of literature has many mansions.
Question most valid...
...I love books so why do I hate studying English GCSE?
We need to inject creativity back in the classroom, we need a route of learning that can inspire. We need books that bring up intense messages of modern themes: sexism, racism, homosexuality. I strongly believe literature is the route to giving teenagers a voice about these themes. It’s not even like these books don’t exist; I can think of hundreds on the spot. Highlights in my classroom are the debates we have, where people who otherwise sit in a corner and highlight their pages have their voices heard after being inspired by literature. This year, every sentence analysed goes towards an exam. To gain full marks, it’s all about knowing what to write, how to analyse – and the sad thing is that this is how intelligence is now measured. By how well you can describe the effect of the iambic pentameter, not by a real opinion on Romeo’s values or how substantial his love really is.
