reading list

其实不止一万遍地对自己承认说读理论过多绝对是要精神空虚的,于是我现在就空虚了,即使是面对着自己热爱的理论。如果那天我真成了某个理论的successor,我相信一定是non-place.

很可怕地发现从电影开始的第一个镜头我就告诉自己,这个establishing shot做作了,这个pov没有达到效果...最后的结论是这个导演的镜头感太平平,且都不说narrative了。(观Frozen River后第一感)

突然觉得自己离来的那个文化太遥远了,怀念用自己母语表达出来的思想、哲学、和牢骚。不知道non-place翻译出来是怎样的一个模式,如何的变异是无法想像的,就如同Yi-fu Tuan我都是花了10分钟才能确认这家伙还正是个中国人,还存活着,还继续影响着。

不过,还是请有心人给我个reading list吧,拯救拯救我理论化的灵魂!


Deadline is calling...

Sophia it's fine, and you will be fine.
I suddenly found myself so bad at doing critical summary, maybe it's just because I couldn't even understand what the hell these people are talking about. The flatness two-dimensinal haptic (Antonia Lant), and the Touch of Memory through body (Luara Marks)...OMG, give me a break...I think comparatively speaking, I would prefer Bruno. At least, she is (neo-)realism, and cinematic, and three-dimensional and emotional.

The Power of Suggestion

期待已久的见面是终于见了,然后整个人像是失去中心一般就点着头,然后在不是很适当的时候说出了自己的意见,然后慢慢反悔说还是同志们说的对,小的我“头一遭”。最后,在大家都能量脑力怠尽的时候,我们终于说出了“再见”和“保持联系”的字眼。尽管我从来喜欢看到事情的阴暗面,但是不得不说我们已经起步了,并且前途光明,如果我们坚持努力奋勇前进,并且我能不断自我鼓励。

M.P.: We are doing good.
S: Don't worry, Sophia, you are getting there.

Ball is rolling, for God's sake.

A Hobby

I think I should pick up that hobby again and go on taking pictures of the world and people.

Sometimes, this is the only way I keep my love for this life.

The Age of Stupid

What are we? Twelve!

Now, I totally understand why the older people grow, the less they are supposed to talk, because they are supposed to grow wiser. This is what I should now learn to do because there are so many f**king people bored and inclined to gossip. And they will never grow up, and never know how to respect others' privacy even they are much much older than me.

I'm done with this high school scenario. You are out of my book for good, no matter how good we used to be. This is what you get when you challenged me bottom line.

The Age of Stupid.

Old similar scenario

The old similar scenario shouldn't work when I'm getting old.
