“a set of #aesthetic #assumptions so thoroughly #institutionalized that they can be reproduced from #within.”

“This is what the AI controversy ultimately reveals—not a new problem introduced by technology, but an old one made newly legible.”

How to read postcolonial writing

The Granta controversy surrounding a Commonwealth Prize-winning story tells us less about AI than about the enduring metropolitan expectation that writing from the South should sound opaque, excessive, and primitive.

Okay, admittedly this week’s #ThursdayBooksandBeer is arriving on a Friday, but it’s also a special edition, coming from Sakapatat Beer House and Resto in Yogyakarta, so that’s forgivable, right? My Indonesian location demands an Indonesian novel, and I just finished reading perhaps the most acclaimed of them all: This Earth of Mankind by Pramoedya Ananta Toer, composed initially orally while he was imprisoned on Buru Island and eventually published in 1979 before it was then banned. It’s a historical novel, set just before the turn of the 20th century, and is part love story and part rage against the injustices of the Dutch colonisers. Of course I’ve accompanied it with an Indonesian beer and I managed to find one that wasn’t Bintang: a Small Hazy from Island Brewing in Bali. #reading #literature #Indonesia #postcolonial #craftbeer
