What a fabulous mind. What a fabulous person. Hope I get to attend one or more of her lectures. It is refreshing to see a woman who is fearless & original. Ms. Paglia, what you say about the spirituality of the entire art experience. Is one of the central modern issues re: societal decay. She isn’t growing older she is growing as a human being and scholar. Good one, exposing the emperor’s complete lack of academic clothing. Rock on! I hope you find a good academic home, after the fiascos (plural) you have endured. , post the UArt zoo. I became a professional consultant but have always both created & studied arts & creativity. But enough of this. Just know that you have more followers and supporters scattered around the world.😅 Much Love, Honor & Respect.
Paglia is indescribable. Absolutely bristling with ideas all derived from her own free thought and observation, even if I don't agree with everything she says.
She understands stereotypes and the historical archetypes depicted in art which is a reflection of society as a whole during the period during the time the art was fabricated . Att can also form or cement archetypes . What’s great about her is that she knows the history of archetypes and what influences over time shape our reaction . The influence goes both ways - it influences society and society influences its expression ( art ) and its many forms that show the creative side of society.
I have my first day in university tomorrow. I'm very very afraid I've made a mistake. It's in the humanities, art history. My background is in the arts. The production of art. I wan't to master painting, technically, and I want to understand what drives people, and me, to produce art. I want to shamelessly be enthusiastically in love with past masterworks. I want to be inspired. But I'm afraid it might be an ideological reading of the arts. Or too removed from the actual practice of producing art. Too conceptual. I applied there because I thought it might be the best place to find people who still hold classical values like beauty and truth. Wish me luck.
You have those well-wishes. Don’t let your mind be weighed down in chaotic thoughts about, “Is this too much?”, “Is that too little?”, “Is this even enough?” Learn well in terms of technique and then follow your inner instincts and irrepressible urge to create.
You’ll only grow no matter how much in percentages help produce art or where the inspiration for art comes from . It’s a reflection of societies response to what they find captivating and important with materials that were available during that time .
2 0 1 2 !!!????? Where did she come from and who let her out?!? I want to see her make this speech TODAY! Tell me, WHO will let her do that? Every single thing she said is truth. SALVE REGINA!! x
So refreshing and inspiring for me! Thank you for posting this! I have been so interested in opening more to a capacity for appreciating art. This is very helpful for proceeding forward.
Gotta take her class. Hitchens was in fact extremely educated with respect to religion. Spirituality? Maybe not so much. I am going there to get a Ph.D and just bought her art book.
08:45 "I'm a great defender of pornography and prostitution..." *[applause]* "Oh, thank you. I'm not sure if that's coming from the prostitutes or the pornopraphers."
I love you Camile, but the Maharishi was not a "false guru" at all... he was quite legit, and there were no scandals around him that I know of. He's the originator of TM (Transcendental Meditation).
well look one of those contains a remarkable canon of centuries of incredibly interesting art and literature, and the other one... well, lets just say it's not quite on that level? lmao
Really tho? Super articulate person, but to be a self professed atheist - she can't say enough about her perspective- and then the name of her book has "spirituality" and "art" in the title? What a contradiction. As if man and woman alone created art. Wow, miss, what a miss. And I agree, the religions are total shields from the core of truth, but to believe in ART aaand in SPIRIT and then say - we have no creator, the universe is a grand cosmic accident or a fluke. Thats pure ignorance of the self. Intellect not intelligence.
Why do we need think that we were physically created by some anthropomorphic entity to believe in the spiritual power of art? Spirituality just involves a form of knowledge or perception not limited to sense data. Art provides this without the arbitrary positing of a creator figure, since we ultimately become the creators when we participate in it, making the universe into our likeness and seeing ourselves in it despite its brute materiality.
@@hakmagui9842 youre misreading what Im saying, im not a religious fool. If u think youre going to teach me about what spiritually is then please think again. Saying that u dont believe in a Source of all that is and all that isnt, but that you're "spiritual" - just makes u sound inexperienced, arrogant or confused. Dont get too full of your creative artistic ability, u did not invent it, it was given to u, not by some "anthropomorphic being" either. Show some respect for what you do not understand instead of arrogance and ignorance.
@@hakmagui9842you say we remake the universe in our image, but really its the other way around. we are the inheritors of the creative energy of the universe. It has created us in its image, as creative entities. Material "brute" as you call it, reality started out as mere scattered space debris, and created endlessly from the basic elements such complexity that we can't comprehend its end. So you've got it backwards, and so anthropocentric in your logic. There's no need for you to to believe in god i you don't want to, but you could learn a thing or two from theology and religious thought if that's the conclusion you've come to about creativity.
Incredibly rewarding, but christ it's hard to listen to her. I have a feel of herd of attacked antilopes galloping through my brain after her... (and yes - she's very biased by her nature (most Italians are...) she has too many things against people who are high quality, but simply different from her (Hitchens, BBC & so forth), so that's a big hole in all her statements: she has attitude & hates when others have theirs - despite them being reasonable... bad thing...). I'll most probably just buy & read the book - I can't go on with this sub-gun 'charm' any more...
(I am "Rajko" he is "TheBetabox"), so: Thanks for the kind words above, Chris (let the trolls troll & dumbs dumb): well, similar to Jordan Peterson, Pragilia is superbly honest, but both of them treat majority of questions almost exclusively based on human psychology. Like all the answers are in fact just question of psychology (or neuropsychology) - as if the truth depends only of how stable we are to accept it (this does matter, but not as an answer, but as important observance of HOW we apply truths. It still is NOT truths themselves). They both (I’ll say again - being honest and admirable people) rarely touch questions empirically. What IS. Not what it could mean, what it meant, what danger it brings. Just what IS. And HOW we get to it (not how we communicate on it). And specially in that sense, Hichens (Sam Harris? Peter Atkins?) although he can appear to Praglia’s CHARACTER as not-reasonable, drunkard, or with bad (stiff?) attitude - or whatever similar - it is really obvious that these people are very, very reasonable (this is why Peterson is most AFRAID of Harris, (he talks with Sam like scared antelope) (Praglia) - I see many people missing this: as sooner or later, Harris will prove to be very reasonable (and therefore, he’ll offer more direct path to eventual truths. Not CONSEQUENCES of this/that - just attempt to elaborate what he knows about the empirical truth of it); Ts the same with Hitchens/Praglia relation - she doesn’t like HIM - again - error of thinking psychology is the truth (reason) itself. And as I said prior - as many, many Italians I’ve met - she’s biased by her nature (character) - so if you’re not ‘charmed’ - what would she propose? Same as her attitude to Hichens? Guy who is on her side of the argument, gave life's length for it? Not good (fair). Really not. Other than that - she is incredibly important person & her work is life saver in times we're in, but to put it blantly: she has the almost exact “rude” posture as she said Hitchens does - just other side of the spectrum. And she is missing to see this... Again - just pitty, tsa bad (blind?) spot. Off & away. Thnx. Many.
I call it Good Atheism; atheism that isn't void of spirituality. There is no need to put faith in a particular God or what not, for they are merely relative representations of a greater whole. You can perfectly fine ''practice'' spirituality without picking up religion whatsoever. No matter if you go to church, do Buddhist meditation, or take LSD, or shift your consciousness in other ways.
What a fabulous mind. What a fabulous person. Hope I get to attend one or more of her lectures. It is refreshing to see a woman who is fearless & original.
Ms. Paglia, what you say about the spirituality of the entire art experience. Is one of the central modern issues re: societal decay.
She isn’t growing older she is growing as a human being and scholar.
Good one, exposing the emperor’s complete lack
of academic clothing.
Rock on! I hope you find a good academic home, after the fiascos (plural) you have endured. , post the UArt zoo.
I became a professional consultant but have always both created & studied arts & creativity.
But enough of this. Just know that you have more followers and supporters scattered around the world.😅
Much Love, Honor & Respect.
I love this woman. She makes you think about yourself. And she's so funny.
I have very little in common with Camile Paglia, but I love this woman. Her mind her personality are an incredible gift to humanity.
I like to think she is the smarter version of me. 😊
Former Art student here.
I am excited about reading your book. Others of yours as well. Baby boomer on the younger end.
She can never die. Let her be eternal pls :,(
She is a joy to listen to.
She is an enormous asset to our society.
Paglia is indescribable. Absolutely bristling with ideas all derived from her own free thought and observation, even if I don't agree with everything she says.
Camille Paglia is an absolute force
Her thoughts come so fast no human mouth can articulate them. Awesomeness
Her rant on Hitchens! WOW!
28:44 "My natural mode is AM radio" - love it, and what a revelation!
I wanna go to the movies with her!!!
She understands stereotypes and the historical archetypes depicted in art which is a reflection of society as a whole during the period during the time the art was fabricated . Att can also form or cement archetypes . What’s great about her is that she knows the history of archetypes and what influences over time shape our reaction . The influence goes both ways - it influences society and society influences its expression ( art ) and its many forms that show the creative side of society.
Her observations about gallery space/environments and "contemplation" are exactly correct.
"coffee table art book syndrome" is freaking perfect
"I always go on hiatus when I need to finish a book..." -Camille Paglia. George RR Martin can learn a lot from Camille Paglia
Absolute fire.
I just LOVE Paglia ! 💛

Hi, Julian. It’s been two years since you wrote this comment. What’s your progress? All the best.
You’ll only grow no matter how much in percentages help produce art or where the inspiration for art comes from . It’s a reflection of societies response to what they find captivating and important with materials that were available during that time .
I lost it laughing when she described NPR. I have tried to listen to NPR but I can't stay focused with their subdued speech as my mind just wanders.
2 0 1 2 !!!????? Where did she come from and who let her out?!? I want to see her make this speech TODAY! Tell me, WHO will let her do that? Every single thing she said is truth. SALVE REGINA!! x

Love Camille!
She is fierce
"Thats a sign I have 5 min left"... barely past half of the vid.
I love her xD
So calm in contrast with her early days. Still got the fire.
Half way through she said she had 5 minutes left
lol it's part of her charm
Paglia time is a dimension all its own.
Gotta take her class. Hitchens was in fact extremely educated with respect to religion. Spirituality? Maybe not so much. I am going there to get a Ph.D and just bought her art book.

"I'm a great defender of pornography and prostitution..."
*[applause]*
"Oh, thank you. I'm not sure if that's coming from the prostitutes or the pornopraphers."
What book is she talking about that she wrote?
Glittering Images
I love you Camile, but the Maharishi was not a "false guru" at all... he was quite legit, and there were no scandals around him that I know of. He's the originator of TM (Transcendental Meditation).
33:25 about Met Gala 2018
I agree with many things she said but wine does not equate lsd. Just about every smart well-rounded person ought to try it once.
23:00
She could have been a stand-up comedian.
I disagree with her and Jordan Peterson massively, but i see why they took a liking to each other
what was the name she referred when talking about "Do It Yourself" method? John Du(...)? Appreciate it.
I think it's John Dewey
what is this thin gruel? classic staement
Hitchens sneers at religion the same way Paglia sneers at feminism. Physician, heal thy self.
well look one of those contains a remarkable canon of centuries of incredibly interesting art and literature, and the other one... well, lets just say it's not quite on that level? lmao

An American original
Has she ever spoken about Marina Abramovic or Terrance McKenna?
I just love her!
Paglia has a little Mr. Garrison in her, MmmKaay?
loves a scandal doesnt she?
Very smart person, but her voice is unbearable

Rajko Milosevich Guera shut up
Rajko Milosevich Guera. Please give us more. Roy Batty shut up.
Rajko Milosevich Guera Hitchens was not "reasonable".
Rajko: You STATE that Hitchens is not reasonable, but you don't give any REASONS, do you? Who is not "reasonable"?

What kind of an atheism is that? LOL

Can't this gibbering loon make a serious point? I waited to hear about art and spirituality.
Make an intelligent point insults are the first sign of incompetence.
She made many excellent points in this lecture.
Read What is Art by Tolstoy
Read The Truth and Beauty by Klavan
So the form must be pleasing before you recognize the points she is making . Oh boy !
