Reading parable of the sower/parable of the talents at the same time as rereading dune is one of the most genius accidental decisions I’ve ever made

Today I found this gem of a paper

The author didn’t put all of their references down. One reference has wrong year in the brackets; or maybe it was just one of those which didn’t make the cut to the final version of the references??? There’s one paper they referenced as single author paper,  but  it actually has 2 authors?? Oh and let’s not forget that reference which seems to be one paper, but in the references I found a paper and a ‘presentation material’ from the same author which were published the same year. 

How the hell did this paper get published??

Reading rage - WTF fun facts

Allowing myself to channel holiday emotional upheaval into review book reading, in which amazing things are being claimed in the name of the Korean Wave that are in no way, shape or form different from many female-centered media fandoms. THIS is what happens when research gets cordoned off behind area studies (or other similarly bordered disciplines) - everything is all Brand! New! Information! instead of variations on things we see everywhere. 

And it's amazing how conspicuously absent the actual audiences are themselves. People are theorizing why audiences liked XYZ so much, with barely a nod in the direction of talking to actual people about actual things. I cannot tell you how much this pisses me off.

Or, well, I can. Because I am. Still.

Instead of the title “Night Film,” Marisha Pessl should have named her book “I Hope You Really Love Reading Italics, Because I Really Love Writing Italics.”
