@barnhouse & C_Webb: Yes, Daniel Deronda's not making the list is wrong, and Casaubon should definitely be dead last. I mean, he's like, mummified and stuff and does evil shit from beyond the grave.

On Why We Shouldn't Treat Rap As Poetry
Sigh. Let's go over it again. "Performative" is not a fancy-ass synonym for "performed," okay? Songs are not "performative." They are "performed." A marriage oath, a swearing-in ceremony, a priest's blessing over the eucharist -- something that effects a transformation by its utterance, is performative. Don't try to sound like the half-wit academics you're justifiably taking to task by referring to "rap's performative aspects."
