Arts & Humanities - 14 March 2007

Response to bluelotus' response: Yes, art today is like interpretive literature or poetry. It's not really native to a visual experience, and you have to have read the right critics and art historians to "get it". I think his point was, how have people gotten away with taking the love and the passion out of art? How is it right that someone can design something, have someone else make it, and call that art? So, you had an idea, and it's clever, and the curators love it. Great. Perhaps the curators have seen too much art. It's also possible to listen to too much music. I work in one of the US' top museums, and I see a lot of crap come in and out of there. Art that only requires "research" and not looking inward as well as outward can have a very narrow appeal and effect.

How can anyone suggest Americans can compare themselves to Spartans?

The film '300' has gotten people talking. Even the Iranian government is referring to it as a 'cultural bomb'. In typical Hollywood fashion, the film has little to do with history and everything to do with making the audience gasp at special effects.

Yet there seems to be a suggestion Americans can identify themselves with the Spartans. How can anyone consider this seriously? The Spartans, although a warrior people, also scoffed at luxury and comfort, scorned any kind of 'flashiness' and regarded wealth as a pursuit unworthy of a man. If anything, weren't the Spartans as far away culturally as you can ever get from modern-day America and its obsession with wealth, luxury, comfort and sticking-it-to-the-Jones attitude?

Two books I see often being asked about are "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Lord of the Flies." What other titles do you hear questions about the most in here? I am trying to create a bibliography of these apparently popular titles. Thanks.
