Why do you waste your time and mine by trying to get value judgments? Don't you see that when you get a value judgment, that's all you have? They are destructive to our proper business, which is curiosity and awareness.
-John Cage

The most obvious and palpable feedback upon research and writing in the discipline is the very weight of the commodity marketplace and its hierarchies of value and fashion. The very existence of a history of art centered on the diachronic parade of masterpieces insures the perpetuation of a system of comparable worth in academic attention.

The image is not an idea. It is a radiant node or cluster; it is what I can, and must perforce, call a VORTEX, from which, and through which, and into which, ideas are constantly rushing.

Ezra Pound, 1916.

What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from.

T.S. Eliot, "Little Gidding", 1943

"Writing, moreover, is irreducible to the concept of work; it is a mode of désœuvrement, worklessness, whose most characteristic form is the fragment, which, to speak strictly, is not a form, much less a genre, but is rather a suspension or interruption of the discursive movements that make possible the formation of concepts, meanings, propositions, systems, narratives, cultures, and worlds."
-Gerarld L. Bruns
