The War was over, except for some one like Mrs. Foxcroft at the Embassy last night, eating her heart out because that nice boy was killed and now the old Manor House must go to a cousin; or Lady Bexborough who opened a bazaar, they said, with the telegram in her hand, John, her favorite, killed; but it was over; thank Heaven—over. —Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway
The War was over, however her war against pneumonia was far from over since she was having shortness of breath whenever she rushed up the street to their house following the flurry of skirts her friends wearing, nor she would be going top back to school after losing a year at the hospital, her mother said otherwise but Nihal thought it would be shameful to join younger students in her former school; no the war wasn’t over, it just changed shape.
“Because Picasso could no longer imitate, he innovated. Plath does the same in “Daddy,” her surreal poem of rupture.”

“We discuss and attempt to visualize final products and the specific aspects assignments will include, though we are careful to allow for creativity and innovation during the composition process, otherwise students are somewhat prohibited from taking risks and using composition as discovery.”

“The catalogue is his calling. It’s his medium, his way of leaving a tangible legacy of answers, not just questions. Perhaps it expresses his desire to impose order on the bewildering world around us; the narrower context provided by an art collection allows us to examine that world and convert it into a system, a unified whole accessible to all. The catalogue may serve to demonstrate that order or harmony, even completeness is possible. As far as Pollak is concerned, both building a collection and cataloguing it are forms of art.”

“Marx inspired Bourdieu’s understanding of society as the embodiment of concrete relationships rather than separate, abstract entities, like individuals and rules. Weber had formulated concepts such as domination, which Bourdieu developed as unconscious internalization of relations of subjugation. Ernst Cassirer* wrote about violence, power, and capital as “symbolic forms,” which is very similar to the symbolic capital conceptualized by Bourdieu. From Durkheim, as much as from structural linguistics, Bourdieu borrowed the notion of structure and its reproducing mechanisms”
