redeeming boredom: a bibliography

Tue, 08 Jun 2004 05:34:41 GMT

Goethe figured the muse of boredom as a pregnant woman, which to me says a lot about its temporality, its latent generativity..

Were you one of those kids whose parents had you rushing from activity to activity with nary a moment to sit down and discover for yourself what might have been the geography of your own desire and/or creativity?

In what has become the most workaholic culture ever know to humankind, and in an era of increasing speed-up and down-sizing, it is good, I think, and perhaps even important to our collective health, to let ourselves get bored every so often.

So, a brief bibliography of seminal writings on this issue:

- Sigfried Kracauer's essay "Boredom" in The Mass Ornament
- Thomas Dumm's first chapter of A Politics of the Ordinary
- Adam Phillips's "On Being Bored" in his most exquisite book On Kissing Tickling and Being Bored (!!)

Best to all..

Presidential elections

Why does it take so long to elect someone in the US? We still have 7 months of nothing new to go through. How boring. No wonder no one bothers to vote.

All this terrorism stuff is just getting a bit too boring.

And then they had a million people out on the streets in Spain protesting! My god, how boring. Can't people use their imaginations and come up with some new way to react to something they dislike beside freaking protests!

More people get killed in car accidents in the US, everyday. Why don't we see pictures of car wrecks on the front pages of the daily newspapers? Now THAT would be fun.
