So, literature is still being read, in a sense.
If you can call that reading. I'd just call it objectively fascist, to borrow your phrase.
Comparative literature is almost gone, of course. It's actual work to read another language, much less two or three other languages.
but you can get "credentials" at University!
just what "we" (especially poetry/literature) need.. more Credentialists shuffling their computer generated-spell-checked
thesis'
and everybody using non-stop their BigMac Computers
something happened in the '80's "we" got lobotomized and out National Culture became Reagan's Alzheimer's!
(GEE I better "Google" Reagan to see who He is/was... and than "google Kafka, Samperi, Blake and see who they were and what they produced so's I can teach 'em in my Modern Poetry 232 TTH class tomorrow...an 8:15 a.m.. jeeze, and I didn't even have to go to (read) your primary source to "get the point" jeeze-i-peez-i
