So it is that an adequate vision of the Aristotelian model for the realities of capitalism would see the work of art as a produce rather than as a made object; it would deal not only with the mode of production, but also with those of distribution and consumption. It would imply study of the consumer as well as of the producer, and might even, indeed, find itself touching on the problems of supply and the sources of raw materials….It is a sobering and salutary experience for professional intellectuals to be reminded that the objects of their study and manipulation have a whole material infrastructure as well, which has traditionally been the realm of the sociology of literature.

— Jameson, Marxism and Form, 392-3

Woke up about 7, put on a podcast and fell back asleep until 10.
217.2. Coffee, breakfast. Chatted w/ Bree.
Finished Jameson.
Watched the rest of Cinema Novo.
Called dad 2-3 pm.
Wasted time. Updated finances.
Downloaded Laurie Anderson’s 3rd Norton Lecture. Read 2 JA poems. Did hand exercises at some point.
Took a walk a little before 6.
Made myself write 6:30-8:30. Completed a paragraph with difficulty.
Listened to an LP reissue of Tampa Red recordings, 1928-1937. Great player; Bree’s very fond of his voice. Not all 12-bar blues; more than a couple “Mama Don’t Allow”-type structures, inc. one in a minor key, and some songs w/ raggy circle of fifths changes.
Put on Linda Smith’s instrumental LP, but Bree was going to bed.
Short walk outside.
Lights out midnight.
