• Suzanne Farrell Back At City Ballet – What It Means

  23-04-2019 23:35 via feedproxy.google.com
  Alastair Macaulay: “What makes Ms. Farrell so important? Her place in Balanchine history is central: She inspired him to make some of his most radically modernist works; opened up fresh torrents of Romanticism in him; showed how old roles could be transformed. She combined grandeur, musicality, wit, fervor and acumen to phenomenal degrees.” – The New York Times

  23-04-2019 22:29 via feedproxy.google.com
  “There is a common assumption that people stifle feelings of empathy because they could be depressing or costly. But we found that people primarily just don’t want to make the mental effort to feel empathy toward others, even when it involves feeling positive emotions.” – Pacific Standard

• Just How Enlightened Was The Age Of Enlightenment?

  23-04-2019 21:30 via feedproxy.google.com
  “It has been said, indeed, that the eighteenth century was less the Age of Reason than the Age of Feelings—because so many Enlightenment thinkers took pride in recognizing the importance of the sentiments, as their intellectual predecessors often had not. (In Hume’s famous line: “Reason is and ought only to be the slave of the Passions.”) The aim of building a rational society meant contending with the ways in which human beings are not creatures of sweet reason.

• Katy Waldman Was Reviewing A Novel. Then She Found Herself In It. And On It Goes From There.

  23-04-2019 21:04 via feedproxy.google.com
  Well, she’s pretty sure she found herself — more specifically, an essay she wrote about herself and her twin sister — but the novel’s author differs. And the author of another book claims she found more of it in Waldman’s essay than Waldman credited her for. (Waldman differs, as does her editor, who was her twin sister.) Waldman digs into all this here, in a very meta essay. – The New Yorker

  Trow argued that the rise of television decimated the elite American intellectual community to which he had belonged as the far descendant of printing magnates, a Harvard graduate, and a magazine writer. It cut out what he posed as society’s heart: the reading, debating, literary demographic that consumed his work. – The Nation

  Influence was worrisome long before it was digital. The word “influence” appears in a quarter of William Shakespeare’s plays, in which the condition of being influenced is rarely happy or dignified. Almost without exception, Shakespeare gives influence a darkly astrological cast. – The New Yorker

  Communism | Art history | Coney | Obesity | Women composers | Theresa MayWriting about the film Red Joan (19 April), your reviewer refers to the communist Leo’s support of the war as a historical fudge. In fact many communists, including my father and the leader Harry Pollitt, left the party temporarily after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact until the invasion of the USSR. My father served with the RAF and was part of the NHS from its inception to his retirement.

• Sixty Years review – Tate's all-female rehang pulls its punches

  23-04-2019 19:04
  Tate Britain, London
  Tate’s first display of work by female artists from its collection contains some great art, but is too shallow to shake things upAll of the works in Tate Britain’s new display, taken from the collection and covering the last 60 years, are by women. Although not chronological, the temporary rehang takes us from pop artist Pauline Boty’s portrait of the novelist, playwright and artist Derek Marlowe, to new works by Monster Chetwynd. Boty’s Marlowe has a

• Truth Versus Lies: Suppressing The Lies From Being Heard Doesn’t Work

  23-04-2019 17:33 via feedproxy.google.com
  In On Liberty (1859), John Stuart Mill offers the most compelling defence of freedom of speech, conscience and autonomy ever written. Mill argues that the only reason to restrict speech is to prevent harm to others, such as with hate speech and incitement to violence. Otherwise, all speech must be protected. Even if we know a view is false, Mill says, it is wrong to suppress it. We avoid prejudice and dogmatism, and achieve understanding, through freely discussing and defending what we
