Albert Camus' The Plague, presented by Dr. Randy Gordon
Переглядів 1,7 тис.3 роки тому
Published in 1947, Albert Camus’ classic novel is arguably the most powerful literary treatment of “the plague” of all time. Early on, the narrator says, “Everybody knows that pestilences have a way of recurring in the world, yet somehow we find it hard to believe in ones that crash down on our heads from a blue sky. There have been as many plagues as wars in history, yet always plagues and war...

Brilliant. Thank you so much.
Holy Cow... The first 27 minutes is of introductions, credentials and achievements. 🗣️I wanted to assassinate myself after that ! 🤕
Well , I am a 55 Yr old WASP , educated within a Bhuddistic martial arts background . I find it hard to believe I am the first commentator, 2023, 2 years since this was posted . Although historically and probably factually correct , the message is somewhat diluted by the emotional attachment of the main female contributer. I will continue to listen in the hope I will glean some historical perspective and secure some factual answers I was searching for . I am, however, astounded that no other comments have been made ! 🤔
Yes, the crescendo of the ending. Like a leap of idea into a provocative mind question. Bravo 👏 Fast Art !
I have multiple degrees, and it is strange for me to hear a professor who isn't just interested in teaching but is also interested in their students. I cannot imagine any of my professors getting excited over what I'm discovering in their classes.
Art "deserves remuneration".....? So who gets to decide what constitutes "art," then? I'm an author in the self-publishing world and this chick he interviewed sounds like a dreamer who's not in touch with what people want to read. Literary fiction doesn't sell anyway! And who wants to pay for a "series of vignettes"?? Art does get remunerated. When it's the kind people actually want. People will give money even if they don't have to, in order to support an artist they believe in. The self-publishing world is an almost pure meritocracy. Either you're producing something people want to pay for, or you're not. 99.9% of artists are not producing anything worth paying for. But in this, nothing has really changed, except the market can make its own decisions instead of being subject to the whims of the Big Five with their huge marketing budgets
She was the best teacher I ever had!

So thats satanism.
No, you're thinking of Christian Psychotherapy and Conversion therapy. Chock full of Satan.
Oh boy, I really like Goethes Faust, but this was acted really horribly.
Very prophetic...1 year before Covid-19. Now (2022) there is war and financial instability...plus disease. Vulnerability to the max.
Poem starts at 0:53; great recital from memory I presume, however lines 30-31 were missed out at 3:02 "There was a time when the young eyes were slow, Their flame steady beyond the firstling fire,"
Excellent input on violence Justin.
This prentation is painfully regurgitative.
Reading a book is not the destination, but a stepping stone for us, not the author.

things don't really change. If ya can't make it work you're not good enough. Prof Peterson and his lectures on hierarchies apply here, too.

With only 7 minutes into the talk, my question is - did the author consider the new subscription-based models, pioneered by Patreon, followed by many, include UA-cam itself, with the new "Join" feature, that allows consumers setting up a recurring donation to the channel owners?
You have to listen more than 7 minutes to hear him talk about Patreon 😅
Wonderful man, this author. He is not an artist, yet understands us. His objectivity and compassion, his range on all aspects of art in the world as well as the inner world of an artist, are indeed a much-needed expression available to all who read books.
One of my favorite poets and people! Thank you for sharing this.
Natasha, my dear...love the disclaimer...I am in Albuquerque...somewhat holding my horses...Love seeing you here.
What a blessing. Thank you. I wanted to read this poem in a UA-cam video and was looking for others' interpretations. This reading moved me deeply:)
OMG Thank you for offering this to the Plebs like me. Grateful for real thinkers, so rare & so transformative. Silly me but I'm resonating!!
Dear Dr. Sanga, I have just finished reading your book Tourist Season. It's a gem. I believe more people should read your work. And please work with a publisher who believes in promoting you and your work. Best Wishes for your future endeavors. Hemendra
The word that I prefer over "consumer" is appreciator. I feel hugely offended when I'm referred to as a consumer, I can imagine many others are disgusted by this word too.
keeo on imagining, and being disgusted,
expectator. Or audience.

Great video. I must read this book...

So glad I found you...I loved the book and was reading right after the tornado on Dallas that destroyed 100 year old trees in our neighborhood...it was so painful!
HOW CREATORS ARE STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE IN THE AGE OF BILLIONAIRES (AND) BIG TECH *AND THE DANG AMATEURS* -- Still, agree with his conclusions. It's more competitive, compensations is poorer, but some people still make it work.
Enlightening, depressing, necessary.
I love this poem and you read it with so much meaning and passion. I came across it while looking for anything else you might have available to the public. I am thoroughly enjoying listening to your lectures on “The Brothers Karamazov.” Thank you.
Absolutely terrible doctor. After sending my son to see him for several months to determine if I was an abusive father as my ex was claiming in court, he refused to testify on either behalf. Just took the money and ran.
Love this poem. Found it 25 years ago, 7 years into 25 years of clinical depression. Loved it then, love it now as I reflect on being 7 years free of it. Thankyou.
Very interesting to think of the alchemical process in terms of planetary events.
Can you please let me know his ig id. I came here after reading his article on quantum theory and arts.
Thinking can be such a nurturing and inspiring thing to do.
This is a beautiful recitation, and pertinent to the times. I miss being one of your seventh graders, Ms. Cain.
I'm astonished by how glorious this poem is! Thank you!
To add to this performance here it is a Hungarian translation of the sonnet (by Lőrinc Szabó) for the sake of friendship: XXIX Ha, vesztve nép és Szerencse kegyét, Árvultan sírok kivert voltomon, És zaklatlak, hiába, süket Ég, S nézem magam és sorsom átkozom, S irigylem a reménykedőbbeket, Különbeket és tapsoltabbakat, Ezt, mert többet tud, azt, mert verse szebb, S fő-kéjem öröme is szikra csak: Akkor, magam már-már megvetve, rád Gondolok - s lelkem (mint a hajnali Pacsirta, mely a föld árnyain át kitör) az ég kapuit zengeti; Mert édes emléked is annyit ér, Hogy balsorsom sem adnám trónokért.
It was more than good to see and hear you, Larry. This short message to the world finally has arrived to your remote friends in Hungary as well :) Thank you!
Awesome play !
All of the random room coughs make me wince. Oh, Dallas... we're done.
This fantastic artist......... thanks so much for your inspiration
