Back into Akutagawa research! This is from the doctoral thesis "Akutagawa Ryunosuke: his concepts of life and art" (Tsuruta, 1967). The same author also wrote a paper called "The Defeat of Rationality and the Triumph of Mother 'Chaos': Akutagawa Ryunosuke's Journey" (1999).
"An examination of his writings in chronological order will reveal two major emotions: contempt and fear."

Enjoying working my way through this thesis on the themes present in Akutagawa's works!

Iles, Timothy JF. Akutagawa Ryunosuke: three themes. Diss. University of British Columbia, 1992.
"Not so for Akutagawa, in whose work death is a terrifyingly final occurrence against which one must struggle with every conceivable effort. Art provides but one method of continuing this struggle; it allows one an opportunity to realize an element of control over nature, to express one's animosity towards a force of even greater enmity and destructive power, and yet art too saps one's strength and hastens, if not actively participates in, one's own decay. Nature does not itself form the stuff of art, does not provide the model an artist tries carefully and accurately to represent; rather art provides the ideal form for nature to follow were it not so hostile. Art provides the artist with a medium through which to console himself and convey his message of warning to an unsuspecting, unresponsive society, as in his story "Numachi"."

I want to do a thread on The Image of the City by Kevin Lynch (1960) but I haven't had the chance yet 😫
I think his work will provide some very interesting topics when discussing Blue Prince!

Hmmm... Almost like there's a thesis here or something.
Excerpt from page 109-110 of The Story of The Stone (Ca0 Xueqin, translated by David Hawkes): "Dai-yu had a natural aversion to gatherings, which she rationalized by saying that since the inevitable consequence of getting together was parting, and since parting made people feel lonely and feeling lonely made them unhappy, ergo it was better for them not to get together in the first place. In the same way she argued that since the flowers, which give us so much pleasure when they open, only cause us a lot of extra sadness when they die, it would be better if they didn't come out at all. Bao-yu was just the opposite. He always wanted the party to go on for ever and flowers to be in perpetual bloom; and when at last the party did end and the flowers did wither - well, it was infinitely sad and distressing, but it couldn't be helped.”

Excerpt from Story of the Stone Chapter 12 " ‘No medicine will cure your sickness. However, I have a precious thing here that I can lend you which, if you will look at it every day, can be guaranteed to save your life.’ So saying, he took from his satchel a mirror which had reflecting surfaces on both its sides. The words A MIRROR FOR THE ROMANTIC were inscribed on the back. He handed it to Jia Rui. ‘This object comes from the Hall of Emptiness in the Land of Illusion. It was fashioned by the fairy Disenchantment as an antidote to the ill effects of impure mental activity. It has life-giving and restorative properties and has been brought into the world for the contemplation of those intelligent and handsome young gentlemen whose hearts are too susceptible to the charms of beauty. I lend it to you on one important condition: you must only look into the back of the mirror. Never, never under any circumstances look into the front. Three days hence I shall come again to reclaim it, by which time I guarantee that your illness will have gone.’ "
