Anil's post

Hello,

I must confess that I am anti-blog, twitter, moodle, and the like. The reason is not that I don’t see any value whatsoever in such things but rather that I myself am largely incompetent in such areas. I could learn but lack both the time – and, moreover, the inclination. I am, however, trained and competent in essay writing. My position, then, as a staunch proponent of the essay should come as no surprise.

What is an essay?

The Form resists any attempt at predication – so I shan’t dare.

Concerning the politics and history of the form.

How does this form inherently resist the articulation and elaboration of certain ideas? Put otherwise, How do other media allow you to approach your object in a way that is unavailable through, or perhaps even precluded by, the essay?
