With a deep-diving into philosophers of the sixties, the outcome is nothing but an intellectual knockout. Absolutely bliss :) The artistic design of the lecture is presented in the form of the psychedelics of the early sixties bitnik stile and flower power hippie movement. Well done, Tadas Vinokur!

Thanks dad :D

[@markustorins384]

Honestly a shame you don't have more views. Keep going.

[@groffpaula]

Thank you so much. I have this text as part of my graduate studies here in France, and not only I struggled with the language, but with the ideas within The Pleasure of the Text. You helped me turn this reading a bit more meaningful and - almost - enjoyable.

This was amazing

Very awesome video!! You inspire me to make some of my own

A lot going on in this one. I'm a huge fan of Adorno. He seems to be getting a lot of notice these days (Zero Books, Verso, etc. vids). Very dense texts, though. Took me years to really get a handle on Adorno's big works (Negative Dialectics - which studied in the 80s originally - and Aesthetic Theory, in the late 90s). But, IMO, Adorno was virtually prescient of our current situation (culturally, not the pandemic).

[@TadasVinokuras]

My background is in music so Adorno is very special to me. Putting it simply, I'm very biased towards him. : ) Anyways, I was surprised that I haven't made a video on him yet. I feel like I should make a video dedicated to Adorno alone. Perhaps I could vindicate Adorno from that whole jazz debacle.. Why do you think he is prescient? I agree, I'm just curious!

[@eupraxis1]

@@TadasVinokuras My background was in music and philosophy, as well. It would take me a long time to do justice to your question. A thinking overload. But, to be brief, especially in Negative Dialectics and many of the now published lecture series, he, as it were, really anticipated Foucault, if we understand the association of F's Power/Knowledge with Adorno's way of attacking Hegel's Theodicy, that is Hegel's positive dialectical outcome in his otherwise absolutely negative methodology or, if I can use the word, ontology.

BIG THANK YOU! It was really professional! The video and interpretation 🎉

[@DougLand]

I love the "random French theorist in a club circa 1962"

[@anniefox23]

This was so helpful for my theory class. Thank you!

[@tytospokojnie]

Pretty cool!

A foreplay with the text 🤎

[@jacksanner2021]

The 2001 comparison was perfect

[@dohaaymoon4096]

greatly produced greatly scripted great video thanks alot

[@artnarchist1392]

Love your channel so much! Thanks for everything

[@theelectricant98]

I'm curious, have you read any Gaston Bachelard? I feel like his writing on poetic imagery and resonance would fit well with the ideas in this video, its interesting to see how he talks about art using dialectics and historicism while detached from the Marxist perspective.

[@is_this_the_real_life_or]

Wow

[@chescokun]

Excellent video! The ideas are pretty fresh and the exposition felt more 'youtubi' than usual, but it's a welcomed, since grappling these complicated ideas with my 9 hour shift, child care and housework to do leaves me all but drained, so easy to digest theory leaves me motivated to engage with it myself, but also depressed because I never have the energy or concentration needed to do so on my own so I feel that only superficially know this and am able to parrot them, but never adding anything of value. :( Anyway, saludos desde Honduras!

[@jasminejade5023]

This whole video was like ASMR

[@puja7453]

You look like hary styles

[@rockin1014]

I'm gunna be honest I think Barthes ought to have spent more time touching grass
