No Mozart

[Howard Brown]

There is no female Mozart because there is no female Jack The Ripper
-Camille Paglia-

[Edward Stow]

As in Mozart and Liszt I presume.

[Maria Birbili]

Paglia at times says some sensible things, but also some incredible bull.

Georg Nikolaus von Nissen, Mozart's biographer and second husband of his widow (Constanze Mozart) was a Danish diplomat, but unrelated to Le Grand.

I just realized that Paglia is a Professor at the University of The Arts in Philadelphia which my daughter attends !

[Markus Aurelius Franzoi]

Maybe together they can explain that perception of serial killers as artists.

Alarming thread title. Then I looked at the thread and relaxed.

[Markus Aurelius Franzoi]

Paglia at times says some sensible things, but also some incredible bull.

I thought she was responsible for the "marriage is rape" assertion but now I see that it's not attributable to her. So I can't say if she's full of bull at times or not, probably because I can't understand what she's saying.

I think she's talking about male dominance in the two fields and saying the dominance is for the same reason - specifically 'drive' I believe. I think she believes Jack is one of those proverbial 'tableau' killers, and she's not lumping Mozart with a run-of-the-mill killer.

I have seen that quote before and I have no idea what it means.

Actually, female serial killers are listed in time before JtR but they did it with poison, frequently for financial gain.

Women are capable of terrible acts, for instance the Manson Family women who, IMO did worse things than anything done by JtR.

[Markus Aurelius Franzoi]

It seems to derive from the assertion that "property is theft". I thought it came from Marx but now I find it comes from Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, the "father of ararchism" and the "hero" of the "French lady" candidate Eugenie Roullier's father, who was a "Proudhonian" as well as a "Communard".

-Camille Paglia-

Camille, you may ascend to the pantheon of the deepest and most phenomenal thinkers of all time.

Excuse me but you're a dolt, Ms. Paglia. One strike and you're already OUT.

[Howard Brown]

San Clemente:

Paglia is on record for being pro-pedophilia ( a fan, as was the loathsome looking Allen Ginsberg, of NAMBLA).....so on that note, she's automatically on my shit list. On the other hand, some of her counter points to over the top feminist dogma sound good to me, too.
I wasn't inferring she was the Heidegger of these past 100 years, either....but merely pointing out she placed The Ripper on one end of the human scale and ( in this case, as she could have used Rembrandt or Darwin) Mozart on the other.

[Robert Linford]

Heidegger? That's an Australian greeting, isn't it?
