  Conserva tive Radical — Authority: 141
  “ The list is the origin of culture. It’s part of the history of art and literature. What does culture want? To make infinity comprehensible. It also wants to create order — not always, but often. And how, as a human being, does one face infinity? How does one attempt to grasp the incomprehensible? Through ...

• For Umberto Eco

  
  Going against the current — Authority: 122
  This feeling I am secretly keeping is somehow similar to that of a school girl’s infatuation for her cute classmate sitting next to her. Only that in my case, I definitely am no school girl and the object of my desire, call it lust, is far from being somebody who happens to occupy the seat [...]

• Museum Exhibitions and The Book

  
  Bad at Sports — Authority: 543
  I’m fascinated (alas, only from afar) by the Louvre’s Special Guest program and in particular with its use of acclaimed novelists as guest curators. (I’ve posted on this program before, here ). The Louvre has featured Toni Morrison in this capacity in the past; right now, the novelist and semiotician Umberto ...

  Nerdcore — Authority: 667
  Ich liebe Top-Listen. Die besten Alben, Filme, Bücher, Dingens den Jahres… genau mein Ding. Und ich kenne mindestens genau so viele Leute wie Listen, die eben jene als Blödsinn abtun.

• In the beginning were lists

  
  otrops — Authority: 107
  Umberto Eco has been invited by the Louvre in Paris to curate an exhibition . He has chosen lists as his organising principle. Making lists is often derided as a cop-out: something that we do instead of actually creating or making something. Lists have recently been called a degenerate case of essay . It seems ...

  Gawker — Authority: 864

  Ensaios Imperfeitos — Authority: 150
  O caso Cesare Battisti é, além de um teste privilegiado para se saber se a democracia, no Brasil, já conseguiu efetivamente fincar alguma relação real com a nossa história, uma ocasião que pode nos ensinar, de modo igualmente privilegiado, algumas lições sobre o significado do fascismo, bem como de sua sempre ...

  It’s the 10th anniversary of the movie Fight Club. What are you doing into the soup? John Woo is back ! Maybe. As we come to the end of 2009, we’ll soon start seeing best of lists .

  Flavorwire — Authority: 710
  Today at Flavorpill, we perused a list of the 50 best inventions of 2009. We went spelunking in LAs secret oilfields and rigs. We chuckled over Slates unauthorized index of Sarah Palins Going Rogue. We felt under dressed at a sleek new Euro-style McDonalds. We wondered if Philip Roth started screaming when he found ...

• Eco, lists, and the Louvre

  
  Art Ravels — Authority: 125
  Doesnt he look like Hercule Poiret? I confess, despite having left University, I still manage to have professor-like crushes on men Ive never met, and Umberto Eco comes first and foremost on my list. He wrote the bestselling The Name of the Rose novel, is the preeminent semiotician, and more recently has written ...

• Umbert Eco on Lists and List-Making

  
  Cosmopoetica — Authority: 115
  I’m an inveterate list-maker and reader of lists. My notebooks are full of lists of various kinds; my otherwise haphazard “productivity” system is based on lists; I love anaphoric poems; found lists are one of my favorite finds inside used-books… so it’s natural that this interview with Umberto Eco charmed ...

  Just Above Sunset — Authority: 129
  It’s an old joke. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. One, two, three, four… Yeah, yeah – it’s stupid. But such old dumb jokes persist. They never go away, probably because they hit on something universal, and in this case on how people actually are clownishly incompetent at saying what they mean. ...

• OMG. I disagree with Umberto Eco!

  
  Joho the Blog — Authority: 613
  It makes me very nervous to disagree with Umberto Eco because he is so fathomlessly smart. But I think in this case I do. Sort of. There’s a fabulous interview with Eco in Spiegel (in English) about why he loves lists. He is characteristically pithy, provocative and wise. A crucial paragraph, from the beginning: ...

  Imran Ali — Authority: 133
