noted: proust, quotation marks

There’s a nice post at The Valve which nicely gets at how deeply weird Proust gets w/r/t jealousy towards the end of the book.

And a nice post at pas au-delà on the connotations of punctuation. There’s a fine discursion on this (more precisely, what it means to emphasize things in the German style, by increasing letterspace in the emphasized word) towards the end of Agamben’s The Time That Remains. And there was another one recently about dashes – where was that?

  1. Thanks for the tip; haven’t gotten to the end of _Time that Remains_ yet, but soon (not that these things – reading Agamben, for instance – need necessarily be, strictly, chronological).
