Taylor Frankie Paul files temporary protective order against ex Dakota Mortensen

Dags att dra mitt strå till stacken av Geografens Testamentes knapra fandom.

Remorse represents that rare thing, a playable and viewable yet ethically impeccable play, written not to excite but to 'controul and purify' the passions...Coleridge has taken important steps towards redeeming the British stage. Most recently a site of social subersion, the theatre has now once again become what it (presumably) was in Shakespeare's day: a forum of national subject-formation. Where the foreign drama sprawls, exhilarates and proliferates, Remorse regulates, constrains and contracts.

Remorse is set in a sixteenth-century Spain which is clearly a police state, not unlike the Regency Britain of Coleridge's own experience...Coleridge's demonization of the Inquisition and its repressive state apparatus is misleading, for this invective conceals the fact that Alvar also represents, and deploys, a form of hegemonic power, especially in relation to the Moors, who are also the objects of inquisitorial violence. Alvar rather finesses the power of the Inquisition, translating it into a different, moral and psychological register...The difference that separates Ordonio's, Montviedro's and Alvar's perspectives on the world, ultimately, is not the distinction between tyranny and freedom, villainy and heroism...Alvar seeks to constitute [the Moors] as modern disciplinary subjects, capable of self-policing and self-improvement..Alvar spends fully as much time in the play convincing Alhadra about the evils of revolution as he does concocting schemes to improve Ordonio, supposedly the real culprit of the piece...Remorse, in other words, repudiates one mode of repressive authority only to install another in its place.

The British Romantic writers were influenced by, and participated in, the anti-Jacobin cultural establishment's revulsion against European drama and its shocking popularity on the stage and in the closet. Several of Romanticism's best-known literary manifestos and programmatic declarations, including Wordsworth's 'Preface' to Lyrical Ballads (1800) and Coleridge's Biographia Literaria (1817), contain paradigmatic passages in which the poets anathemize the flood of dramatic translations they believed jeopardized the nation's moral and intellectual health. But the Romantics also developed a different, more diplomatic and ultimately more powerful method for countering the untoward popularity of Continental Gothicism...With the possible exception of Blake, in fact, all the six 'Great Romantics'...chose to include the generic resources of Gothic spectacle within their own publications, capitalizing on this genre's success even while harnessing it to their own aesthetically and ideologically revisionist programme.

Varför har Mortensen såna jävla moodswings?? Liksom så fort det går det minsta dåligt så vill han hem
