well, i never would have expected to be posting anything by camille paglia, but, well, this is the nonist after all, so i’ll not let my deep snooze inducing attempt to read sexual personae in college keep me from my appointed rounds. here is an essay titled the magic of images which explores some negative consequences of a student culture inseparable from the pop culture which surrounds it…. or something like that. takes a meandering route through baroque art, prehistoric painting, iconoclasm, and the pre-columbian skull. pretty good read.
