You surely have heard about the trend of #DarkAcademia - but did you know there is also the opposite? It's called, as can be expected, #LightAcademia

Light academia - Wikipedia

A friend told me she had planned to get a classic pork pie hat for summer, which brought me to a short wikipedia trip, which led me further to a listicle on "Light academia films and shows on netflix", because someone wore a hat like that in a movie that was described as "light-academia" style, referencing the article.

As you probably know already, I got #adhd and too much work on my hands at the moment, so let me react to the listicle right now and get some good chemicals out of it.

1. #Bridgerton is not "academia", it's porn for people who don't like to admit they watch porn. Great show, enjoyed immensly, but not #lightacademia at all.

2. "Pride and Prejudice" is not "academia" and don't start me on 2005 adaptation, because I want to sit Keira Knightley in an armchair and explain to her why wearing at least short stays is essential for a Regency silhouette.

3. "Gilmore girls". OK, I admit with reluctance that it is s a modern version of light academia.

4. I refuse to acknowledge the existence of the 2022 version of "Persuasion". Plus, it's not academia.

5. "Derry girls" is not light. Wonderful, insightful, funny, but there's nothing light about it and the fact they are wearing non-Wednesday school uniform doesn't make it light.

6. "Anne with an E", OK, it's kind of Edwardian, so let's give this one a pass.

7. "To all the boys..." too modern for light academia.

8. "Sex ed" see 7.

9. "Call me by your name" at last! Something! Yes! Books, romance, subdued elegance!

10. "Heartstopper" the fact that it takes place at school AND is lighthearted and sweet doesn't make it light academia.

Thanks for coming to my TED-talk ;)

Something that I really love doing that combines my love of reading and study with my love of stationery, pens, and ink, is copying out striking quotes from novels that I’m reading.

I’ve always done this a little bit for my research, but it really reached a new level of just being something I do to engage with texts in a different way during the pandemic when I decided to read The Tale of Genji.

Writing down lines that stood out to me provided a way to both document my reading experience and also let the style of the translation get into my body in a different way than the purely visual act of reading.

Now I often recommend to people, if they’re looking for a simple step they can take to deepen their reading experience, try marking the passages that stand out to you, whether that’s with sticky tabs, a highlighter, or writing them in a quotes notebook.

Over time you’ll begin to notice themes emerge in what draws your attention. And you get the pleasure of just spending a little extra time with lines that you love.

I think it’s a nice, low pressure way to get a little more studious with what you’re reading while taking away the pressure of trying to identify what is important or what an expert would pay attention to.

QOTD: do you mark up your books or find external ways of tracking the parts that interest you?

Got very inspired by a reel. Now I think it looks so much like a spring court painting. Am I reading too much? 😅
