Jonathan Emmesedi🧵 3/3"Philosophy in a New Key" was published in 1942, so today's readers, as well as wincing at her some of her discussion of "primitive" peoples, may also be aware that more than one revolution has since taken place in the philosophy of language and that university presses and learned journals have printed countless pages on the topics in linguistics, psychology, and anthropology on which Langer touches.Nevertheless, I believe her thinking about aesthetics and symbolism in general is of enduring interest. I very much want to read a later book she wrote devoted to aesthetics, her 1953 'Feeling and Form"."Philosophy in a New Key" is also of interest from a historical point of view. The book's original publishers, Harvard University Press, were surprised by its popularity; appearing as a Mentor paperback, it went on to sell more than half a million copies. I would guess that popularity is explained by both the postwar expansion of higher education and a public thirst for meaning and value beyond science and technology in a world haunted by memories of the Depression, world war, and extermination camps, and now living with the threat of an atom bomb apocalypse.In spite - or perhaps because of - this popularity, Langer did not get a full time long term faculty position for years, despite her excellent academic pedigree (Radcliffe/Harvard - Ph.D supervised by A. N. Whitehead), teaching at Columbia, and scholarly productivity. As well as just plain jealousy and suspicions of dilettantism, part of the explanation perhaps lies in the marginal position that aesthetics occupied in US philosophy departments blinded by Quine's dictum that "Philosophy of science is philosophy enough".Yet one must also suspect that both individual prejudice and institutional discrimination against Langer as a woman kept her trapped in part time and temporary positions. All this would have added to suspicion of aesthetics and talk of feeling as "girly".I'm glad to see renewed interest in Langer, and I will be reading and think more by her and about her to make sense of kpop and much else besides.<a href="https://c.im/tags/SusanneKLanger" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SusanneKLanger</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Philosophy</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#History</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/IntellectualHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#IntellectualHistory</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CulturalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CulturalHistory</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Sexism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Sexism</a> <a href="https://monoskop.org/images/6/6c/Langer_Susanne_K_Philosophy_in_a_New_Key.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://monoskop.org/images/6/6c/Langer_Susanne_K_Philosophy_in_a_New_Key.pdf</a>

Steam Powered Frisbee 🥏In 2008, a pile of old junk was found under floorboards in an Austrian castle. VERY old junk - from the 1400s. It included several pieces of linen, which unlike wool or silk, usually decays quickly.More specifically they found women's underwear, which is virtually never mentioned in surviving medieval texts. The discovery pushed back the invention of the bra by *several hundred years*. It's very modern looking. The US patent for bras only goes back to 1914. At the earliest something like modern bras were thought to be worn in France in the late 1700s.<a href="https://newsonhistory.blogspot.com/2013/06/discovery-of-600-year-old-lingerie_30.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://newsonhistory.blogspot.com/2013/06/discovery-of-600-year-old-lingerie_30.html</a><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/culturalhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#culturalhistory</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/textilehistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#textilehistory</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archaeology</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/bras" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bras</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/lingerie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lingerie</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/womenshistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#womenshistory</a>

Steam Powered Frisbee 🥏TIL "This Land is Your Land" was written by Woodie Guthrie as a critical response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America". The original title of the song, and last line of each verse, was "God Blessed America for Me 🎶". Response songs were very common across genres in the first half of the 20th century.
