Summer School 2022

Options are presenting one of Florilegium as strictly an analysis.

• Seasons would be less rigorous (like, what is the thesis? I guess that poetry changes the reader? I guess I could talk about the lack of a framework for grief by going over just the Dwale parts of the footnotes through the analysis, then spending the last few minutes talking about it from a layer above, after all, we form a parasocial relationship with the dead)
  • Intro (2min)
  • Spring (2min)
  • Summer (2min)
  • Autumn (3min)
  • Winter (3min)
  • Spirals (3min)
• Unknown Things would be more rigorous, but is astoundingly religious (the thesis is something like ‘catastrophic life events lead to a shift in one’s own reality, expressed as a death of the old self and a birth of the new; Job becomes either Jonah or Qohelet, just as a death of a friend led to the death of Matthew, and I could have become a burnt out husk or Madison)
• Margins is probably the right balance, but not done (thesis would be an exploration of the ecstasy/terror of love through Time War and its parallels to the Duino Elegies.)
