Books that depicts boredom, doxa and the mundane?
Also, is it possible to deliberately evoke boredom instantly with an image? (watching something 10 times or for a day doesn't count)

Whatever your favourite book is to be quite honest.

Well for one, I find that picture to be incredible interesting.
In every photo that I find on 4chan it's someone trying to relay a message.
b...but this is just well.
It just is.
Thanks op, anon
>>8035442
But I don't have a favourite book:^)

thanks man, took it near the Brimham rock site two years ago and the image is still stuck in my head

On whether or not you can evoke boredom with an image.
I suppose it's possible, I'm sure someone stumbled upon a general trigger for boredom while creating an advertisement.
I would be more interested in learning why the trigger was effective.
My guess is that it would have something to do with a person yawning, or being exhausted in some way.

A white background lead people to find content in it, white is a void to be filled while black is a nihiliating void.

Is the image a depiction of boredom in your mind?
It looks like it would be a fine spot to climb on top of and read when it's cloudy out, if it weren't for the (judging by the state of the path) moderate foot traffic.
I have a similar spot that I read at, and it's far from boring; there is a steep hill next to it that leads to a brook fed partly off a small waterfall coming down some outcrop; in the fall,winter, and spring it's barley audible while I'm sitting there, on the rock reading, and on windy days in the spring and summer it is especially nice, because the trees sway all around me and the green tint put off by the leaves flickers in and out allowing the sun to beam down onto the rock.
I'm alone when I'm out there, but it is hardly boring.
Picture relevant; the brook is down the hill off to the right of this picture about one hundred and fifty meters away.

Waiting for Godot. It's a play, but pretty brilliant.
>>8035328
that image evokes adventure, or at the very least discovery and freedom

I always think that the rock looks like a head, looking at a brighter patch of the sky.

I don't really think there can be a picture or a stimuli that can evoke boredom instantly, because boredom is an emotion that can only be brewed in a prolonged period of time.
As for the picture, I just put it there because I want to hear what people think about it, I have been taking and only taking pictures of rock for 5 years. I have no idea what compells me to do so. It just seems to be the right thing to do.

I like to photograph outcrop as well, among other things, it's definitely my favorite subject out in nature. There is something surreal about having rock project out a hillside with no mountains around that are visible. Would you mind sharing more photos? I love seeing them; I'll share some of mine.

I am flattered but the others is not as good as these. I am a terrible perfectionist and is cursed with insecurity by the constellation virgo.

Thanks, I will check them out.

And a picture of my kitchen I guess.

Damn that looks like a good spot to read, perched on the top of that. What is the view projecting out from it look like? Is it a clear horizon, or are there other hills and trees preventing that?
>>8039492
That is bizarre, is it a tolerable climate where you live?
>>8037161
That spot looks amazing.
>>8040434
funny thing, I have tried to cliimb to the top of it and broke my right toe in the process. Oh and my camera is too precious to bring with when climbing, so I didn't took a picture of the vista at top, but it looked like this.
>>8039492
It's midlands of the UK, that should speak for the weather.
>>8041108
That's unfair, I would love to have a view of the horizon that far out and wide.
I love my area, but it's pretty limited in that aspect.

This is probably the best vantage point of the horizon that I have unless I drive five hours away.

Is heath a common landscape in the states?
>Correlating doxa with boredom.
Is this a common association? Never thought about it before but it makes sense.
Anywhere her you go, this book is all about pointlessly waiting for a future that won't come while being stuck in the past.

Not really. I think of heath and moorland as quintessentially British landscape.

I feel boredom exclusively so I probably wouldn't even work as the control in such an experiment
>>8043557
lol, how much is lost in translation
>>8043557
I think boredom dulls my perception and intellectual capabilities, in the sense that boredom is not merely the void of external stimuli, but a state of mind which one is flooded by dulling trivialities (doxa, das grede?) to the point that it lost all curiousity and capability to self-determine.

There are no depictions of battle in The Tartar Steppe.
