Charli XCX has released a video for 'Party 4 U', 5 years after the song's release. Wondering if the billboard is a reference to the famous billboard in The Great Gatsby. One of the best love/yearning songs ever written.

Just noticed my Telos article 'The Feminine Character: The Allegory of Ibsen’s Women in Adorno’s Modernist Literary Theory' is cited in @leonieettinger.bsky.social's great article 'Rewriting Nora: Ibsen, Gender, and the Struggle for Self-Determination’ caesuramag.org/posts/rewrit...

“I’m not fit to be a mother. There’s something else I’d have to do first — to change myself from a doll to a real human being.” With these words, Nora Helmer (Sarah Wharton) leaves her husband Torvald...

With her BRIT award for Songwriter of the Year, there's been a lot of discourse on Charli XCX's lyricism recently. Here's my piece on why I think Charli can be read as an imagist poet (also featured, the argument that Party 4 U = The Great Gatsby): theconversation.com/brat-by-char...
Brat by Charli XCX is a work of contemporary imagist poetry – and a reclamation of ‘bratty’ women’s art
Charli XCX’s Brat can be seen as part of a multimedia tradition of women’s writing that is honest and no longer afraid of being labelled ‘bratty’.

Excited that my next journal article, "The Limits of Critique? Reading the Wild Psychoanalyst in Djuna Barnes’ Nightwood" will be out in the next issue of Modernist Cultures. Expect discussions of (post)critique, interpreting 'difficult' texts, and 'wild-analysis'. @modernistudies.bsky.social

Trying this out. Expect English Literature, Theory, and Snoopy content (perhaps all at once).
