He makes an easy jab against Kubrick, although I like his attempt to champion a more contemplative, raw film aesthetic.<br /><br />The punkademia article reminded me of a scene in Franzen's <i>Strong Motion</i> when the narrator considered how punk did not invite nostalgia. Punk would also likely not be in favor of academic theorizing about it. I like to think that a legitimate punk criticism is possible since a sneering self-referentiality is already built in to the form.The Film Doctor https://www.blogger.com/profile/03073505923746994988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704583061723470804.post-25569101905361805532011-11-12T13:42:35.472-05:002011-11-12T13:42:35.472-05:00I was hanging on - by my fingernails, because it&#...I was hanging on - by my fingernails, because it's really not my cup of tea - to that "remodernist" manifesto until I got to point #8. What a dumb - and profoundly wrong - thing to say.<br /><br />The punkademia link was a turn-off at first but eventually I warmed to the idea. I think the problem is less "studying" punk - after all, every movement or cultural development anywhere and everywhere deserves to be studied as a historical phenomenon - than the idea of haphazardly mixing the punk sensibility with the academic, which would probably bring the worst out in both.<br /><br />And there was a conference on "Jersey Shore Studies"?
