The book #MobyDick was, at the time, #RealisticFiction about the ongoing counter-attacks that #SpermWhales were doing against anything that looked like a #whaling ship, and the ongoing efforts of the whaling ships to fight them, effectively a war between whales and #whalers.
It's not fiction, it's the result of #specieism.

So geht #realismus:
"Ein Melville-Seminar könnte ich heute nicht mehr unterrichten, weil ich nicht davon ausgehen kann, dass Studierende nicht nur «#MobyDick», sondern auch drei weitere Romane von #Melville
lesen, geschweige denn einen ganzen Handapparat mit #Sekundärliteratur.
Ich weiss, dass sie das nicht tun."

108 followers · 688 posts · Server wandering.shopI would point out that, in chapter 60, “the Line”, while it is true Melville is tarrying with the old racist theory that Caucasian peoples were the last word in human evolution, and that the Georgians and Circassians the world’s most beautiful, he is taking about rope. There is an satirical aspect to extending racial theories and colorism to tar-coated plant fibers, fond though he clearly is of the whale-line.

@hlux Ich hab nen Freund gebeten, die Anforderung bei midjourney einzugeben. Wir haben dann noch ein wenig herumgespielt. Das hier gefiel mir am besten, einmal rausgezoomt.
Midjourney hatte mit einem weißen Wal echt Probleme, warum auch immer.

The Weird Admiral · @weirdadmiral
65 followers · 710 posts · Server rollenspiel.socialDie Miniserie #MobyDick von 2011 (R: M. Barker) hingegen, die es hierzulande anscheinend auch nur in einer verstümmelten DVD-Fassung zu sehen gibt (121 statt 184 Min.), ist eine einzige Enttäuschung. William Hurt bekommt Ahab nicht überzeugend hin, seine Dialoge wirken schwerfällig & beliebig. Die anderen Rollen sind noch schlimmer besetzt: zu jung, zu glatt, zu kraftlos (E. Hawke, C. Cox, E. Marsan, B. Boyd). Dazu wirken Theologie & Ausstattung aufgesetzt. Schade.

Moby Dick (US)
In 1841, young Ishmael signs up for service abroad the Pequod, a whaler sailing out of New Bedford. The ship is under the command of Captain Ahab, a strict disciplinarian who exhorts his men to find Moby Dick, the great white whale. Ahab lost his his leg to that creature and is desperate for revenge...

While I can't take to sea right no, there is a new #MasterBootRecord live video which will background my morning.
