Y a-t-il des français qui traînent ici ? Si oui, postez vos textes !
Sorry for making foreign threads but there isn't one decent literature board in french on the internet right now. We definitely should make one.
Oui. Non, j'ai pas de textes. Je peux te donner des points de suspension si tu veux: "...", voilà.

What should I read to get the crash course on feminism? Is such a thing possible?
I'd like to better understand the waves of feminism, contemporary feminism, feministic activism, feminist perspective, leading feminist intellectuals, and any other sphere that would be important for me to best understand feminism on a macrocosmic scale.
>>7257272
Read an introduction to feminism. Then consult the 'suggested readings' list.
Charles Fourier
Josephine Butler, Mary Wollstonecraft
A Room of One's Own- Woolf
The Female Eunuch- Greer
SCUM Manifesto- whatever the crazy lady's name was
The Second Sex- Beauvoir (large, not many feminists have read it, but important)
Gender Trouble- Judith Butler
The Manipulated Man- Vilar
Irigaray
Hey /lit/, let's make a list of pedo/hebe writers. I'd like to read writers with my own tastes.
I start with:
>Lewis Carroll (he must be, you just need to read "Alice". There are things that normal-fags wouldn't understand or feel).
>Vladimir Nabokov (come on, we all know it)
>Edgar Allan Poe (he married his 13 year old cousin, Virginia Eliza Clemm, when he was 26, and lied about her age on the marriage certificate.)
>Ann Frank
>>7258451
John Ruskin I believe wouldn't fuck his wife because he realized that past the age of about 9 women start growing hair and menstruating
>>7258451
>>Edgar Allan Poe (he married his 13 year old cousin, Virginia Eliza Clemm, when he was 26, and lied about her age on the marriage certificate.)
He wasn't really a pedo though, He was just being Southern.
Is the waifu trend a modern analogue to the themes presented in the myth of Pygmalion?
Is nazi samurai as funny as his images imply?

stop trying to philosophically annotate stupid shit
How do I not sound like a pretentious fag when writing poetry?
2late
say things that you actually mean
read what youve written with a critical eye
dont say things that you dont mean
stop writing poetry, become a pick up artist and enjoy life
Let's discuss what we are working on currently and elaborate together

The only project I'm working on is my life.
It's shit so far though.
Hey guys, I've been dreaming about Pynchon lately, and I dreamt about him most recently last night.
Here's what happened:
I'm in college, and I learn that one of my professors, a sardonic veteran academic who studied under Harold Bloom, knows Thomas Pynchon [not true, as far as I know]. Somehow or other, I convince him to let me meet him. Then suddenly we're waiting for him in my old middle school's library. We're eating lunch, having sandwiches, me and the professor, and we're waiting for Pynchon and his wife to show up.
My professor gives me a few ground rules. Don't draw attention to the fact that he's Pynchon. Don't ask him about his work. Don't even mention the titles of his books. I say, that's fine, having a sandwich with the guy is good enough for me, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I thank him again for doing me this favor.
Suddenly a man sits down next to me at our round wooden table and of course it's Pynchon and he says hey to my professor and they shake hands and then his wife comes into view across the table and my professor stands up and they hug and exchange warm greetings and mention how it's been a while and so on. Nobody's paying attention to me.
Then my professor introduces me and says Hey, this is Anon, a student of mine. Pynchon puts out his hand and says, "Hey there—Tom" and I put my hand in his and say, "Hey—Inherent Vice." And for a second I don't even realize I've said this, but I notice the mood's turned awkward. Then I say, "Sorry, I just realized that instead of my name I said Inher—you know. Sorry, my name's Anon, I don't know why I said that. Now this is simultaneously the best and worst moment of my life." They all laugh at that.
Pynchon's wife in the dream is an attractive woman in her late 40s with short blonde hair wearing a red dress, and she's funny and a good storyteller and at ease. She's mostly talking to my professor, and Pynchon and me mostly stay quiet. Then for some reason both his wife and my professor leave the table and it's just me and Pynchon. It's awkward, but I attempt the tactic of addressing the awkwardness head-on, in an effort to be funny and candid and also to impress Pynchon with my awareness. I say, "Looks like we're in the dreadful situation of being one-on-one." And Pynchon chuckles and says, "Looks like it."
I could lie and make up a funny ending, but that's actually where my memory ends. Sorry for the anticlimax.
I hate this meme.
This is a real dream I had, how dare you.
I had a dream about Pynchon once and he had no face, just a voice
I want to read the Tractatus and Philosophical Investigations, but I've read that I should have, at least, basic knowledge of Formal Logic and Language Philosophy.
What are some good books on those two subjects?

Hey guys, I've been dreaming about Wittgenstein lately, and I dreamt about him most recently last night.
Here's what happened:
I'm in college, and I learn that one of my professors, a sardonic veteran academic who studied under Michel Foucault and knew Wittgenstein [not true, as far as I know, specially since Witty is dead]. Somehow or other, I convince him to let me meet him. Then suddenly we're waiting for him in my old middle school's library. We're eating lunch, having sandwiches, me and the professor, and we're waiting for W. and his wife to show up.
My professor gives me a few ground rules. Don't draw attention to the fact that he's Wittgenstein. Don't ask him about hidden rihnos. Don't even mention the titles of his books. I say, that's fine, having a sandwich with the guy is good enough for me, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I thank him again for doing me this favor.
Suddenly a man sits down next to me at our round wooden table and of course it's W. and he says hey to my professor and they shake hands and then his wife comes into view across the table and my professor stands up and they stare coldly at each other and mention how it's been a while and so on. Nobody's paying attention to me.
Then my professor introduces me and says Hey, this is Anon, a student of mine. W. puts out his hand and says, "Hey there—Ludwig" and I put my hand in his and say, "Hey—Picture theory of language." And for a second I don't even realize I've said this, but I notice the mood's turned awkward. Then I say, "Sorry, I just realized that instead of my name I said Pict—you know. Sorry, my name's Anon, I don't know why I said that. Now this is simultaneously the best and worst moment of my life." They all laugh at that.
W's boyfriend in the dream is Focault with thick hair in his late 20s he's funny and a good storyteller. He's mostly talking to my professor, and W. and me mostly stay quiet. Then for some reason both MF and my professor leave the table and it's just me and W. It's awkward, but I attempt the tactic of addressing the awkwardness head-on, in an effort to be funny and candid and also to impress W. with my awareness. I say, "Looks like we're in the dreadful situation of being one-on-one." And W. chuckles and says, "Looks like it."
Turns out my professor is actually gay.

ayy lmao
This is absolute garbage. How can someone have the audacity to read a passage about a minor getting spanked making an audience including the protagonist get so aroused they have a spontaneous orgy and call it "the greatest book ever written in the English language"? How can someone with a straight face read a book that includes a man eating feces from a woman's anus that reminds him of fellating a black man's penis and have the nerve to recommend that book to another human being?
Go to bed, Granddad!
Gee /lit/ it's okay, you don't have to sell it to me, I've begun reading it already.

It's just a prank, bro.
How do I become politically/economically informed /lit/? Is there anything you can rec me that would give me a clear understanding of what capitalism and other economic systems are? Or in what way they relate to how a country is governed, regardless of where it is?

No.

Yes. But only for a certain type of person. Consider the fact that although lit Is a hivemind the real world is not.
>>7237987
Okay. Anything you want to recommend with good quality writing and which isn't past 2000?
Post some fedoracore authors
>ugly gnomelike manlet
>is into MMA
>probably owns a katana collection
>talks about atheism not even from a rational angle, just from "hating the KKKristians xD"
How about we concentrate ourselves on serious threads instead of mocking things that no one takes seriously anyway?
>god is actually three people in one
chirstfags will defend this
I don't find Sam Harris cringey or "fedoracore" at all.

No it's not. Literature is literature and poetry is poetry. Lumping them together is retarded even if you're just looking for an excuse to post it.
What is /lit/s opinion on his books "the doors of perception" and "heaven and hell"?
im just finishing the latter and i am enjoying it but am curious how others have interpreted it and what they took away from it.
Is it better than Brave new world? cause this one was a shitty one
Poorly-written relic that's only worth reading nowadays for historical context
>>7237716
i found that some of the ideas were fairly interesting. i agree that from a writing perspective this book is a piece of shit. its hard to follow because of his way or wording things and punctuation (also in context with the time and his background) but the material he tried to get out is still sound in my opinion. why didnt you like it if you could explain more?
