Came across this passage in Stuart Hall's memoir, Familiar Stranger: A Life Between Two Islands:

'the dislocations, the strangeness within the self [I experienced on coming face-to-face with England] undermined my desire to write creatively. I couldn't do it from within the culture I found myself inhabiting, from within its imaginary geography. Instead I observed everything... This strengthened my critical as against my creative instincts, a shift which is difficult to undo.'

Explains a lot about why some people are creative writers and others critical theorists. And also why the English novel is like it is - it is too often written from within the culture and its imaginary geography.

And more evidence of Todd Haynes's relevance to contemporary film. Superstar is available to stream on several free video sites.

Köstlich: "Momentbilder sind jetzt die Losung der Berufs- und Lieb­haber-Photographen. Ohne Momentverschluss wird kaum noch ein Ausflug gewagt und ich wurde sogar kürzlich von ein paar mir unbekannten Amateuren, die ich zufällig auf einer Landschaftstour fand, verhöhnt, weil ich mir erlaubte, auf meine Objecte ,,ein paar Secunden“ zu exponiren."

#Ireland & #Scotland: Cultural Intersections Across the Irish Sea

Litteraria Pragensia 33/65, July 2023

Open Access

“Ireland & Gaelic Scotland have been often perceived as closely related, sister nations – & the poem “Dùn nan Gall” (Donegal) by Derick Thomson […] explores this sibling image in a startling manner when the two languages, #Irish & #Scottish #Gaelic are envisaged as two sisters dying in each other’s arms.”
