Twelve rabbits compressed into a single-bolt two meter wide crate; available immediately for shipping across the ocean to anyone named Mr. Jones or perhaps Harry the 33th.

It's not subtle to see but hearing is hard also.

One would think, but it's extrinsic by nature if you think about it.

This idea of "speaks for a generation", what does it mean?

>>4505604
By being a cultural highlighter.

>>4505602
This is an imageboard not a book.

Well my thought was that all of the value is placed upon the referencing of the work or the work tangentially to what is real, instead of the work itself having any implicit value, it only has value in culture-relation. What is the value of the work outside of the memetic culture it creates? To me, those works which retain no importance without the memetic culture of influence behind them are 'meme fiction'.

Certainly this thread shows the effects, even as one simply denotes books that are given 'memefiction' status one is attacked because of the nature of these memes. The meme here is that 'X is valuable. X is good. X has purpose and if you enjoy X, you are far better than the rest. If someone doesn't enjoy X, they simply didn't get it.'

Dangerous reasoning as it precludes (essentially) all criticism.

That's (somewhat) my reasoning, I've never been aces at completely explaining the sense in which I hold something, I feel much like Heidegger in this sense, after new words constantly to say things others could have more easily. A personal failing I suppose.

Anyway there you have it in somewhat preliminary form, although I admit not even I am happy with the definition as exists but it suffices for the extent of the language to which is spoken here.

Now back to me being called a poopyhead.

I'm saving /lit/ and you simply cannot understand.

Nicht eure Sünde - eure Genügsamkeit schreit gen Himmel, euer Geiz selbst in eurer Sünde schreit gen Himmel!

Wo ist doch der Blitz, der euch mit seiner Zunge lecke? Wo ist der
Wahnsinn, mit dem ihr geimpft werden müsstet?

Seht, ich lehre euch den Übermenschen: der ist dieser Blitz, der ist dieser Wahnsinn! -

Als Zarathustra so gesprochen hatte, schrie Einer aus dem Volke: "Wir hörten nun genug von dem Seiltänzer; nun lasst uns ihn auch sehen!" Und alles Volk lachte über Zarathustra. Der Seiltänzer aber, welcher glaubte, dass das Wort ihm gälte, machte sich an sein Werk.

you're a hardcore pleb OP, sorry

>>4505443
Are you certain it is not you who aims to draw attention to me?

Are you?

>>4505442
You completely misunderstand. It is not that which functions as a meme, but rather that only functions as a meme.

That's okay, only plebs get upset about this stuff so I'll let you have your tantrum.

I didn't know this board was for plebs, my apologies.

/lit/ your quality is showing.

>>4505395
Are you really on a /lit/ board arguing against the fluidity of language?

Your post is absurd.

>>4505367
You certainly don't get upset about everything do you?

Your claims are unsubstantiated! Write an essay!

Haha, just kidding, I recognize that you have the subjective ability to make these claims and hope that your views are cogent.

Cheers m8y.

>>4505361
You're essentially claiming that words have no singular meaning, which is even more disgusting. Do you not understand words or art?

>>4505358
That's incorrect, it was suggested that instead of myself defining the term that it would be better for the reader or subject to grasp it on their own so that the subtlety was not destroyed.

Don't be so brutalist, this is art, not mathematics.

>>4505342
An essay would be the ultimate antithesis to a strong critique of that novel, simply put: sprawling nonsense.

>>4505322
>>4505330
Neither of those books are memes though, they're just complicated to read, however, they do say something and have a real point to them.

Invest in some intelligence, or wait a few years and try again.

>>4505318
Criticism is often the primary means of validation. If someone is upset you're doing something it means that it has relevance.

What else should we add to the list of meme fiction?

>>4502206
If you can't interpret it correctly it doesn't matter at all.

>>4501927
That's your interpretation.

>>4501836
Interpret the intent yourself.
