Overheard on the walk from Lamont to Weidner..
Impulses to conceptualize or collectivize contexts are fatuously auteur-like;
sentimental to the core, even if in fact especially if sample texts (poetic treatments, meta-essays, etc.) argue on the surface against individuation & sentiment. This is self sentiment affecting triumph.

The war rooms (in ivory/media towers) in times of blanket authority — assumed — instantiate slaughter of memory & varietals of ‘superseded’ texts, pounding out schematic discourse to advance itself.
