Mer universitet, men <3 denna gång

Oh, but this is a beautiful quote, especially the second sentence! And I really needed it, together with the invigorating discussion I had with a classmate, after the disappointing lecture earlier today.

[den kvinnliga läsaren] Hon lämnade sina spår i de texter hon läste; biblioteksböcker sades dofta parfym, vara beströdda av hårpuder, vara försedda med fingeravtryck och rivna av naglar. I böckernas marginaler fortsatte texten - en kvinna kommenterade det lästa och en annan kvinna kommenterade hennes kommentar, skapandes en text som aldrig tog slut, som fortsatte in i kvinnors liv, i kvinnors jag.

- Nina Björk, "Tankar kring modernitet och kön", Emma Bovarys läsning

(alla stavfel är mina)

A hasty translation of the part that gripped me and then I really have to get back to studying...
[the female reader] She left traces in the texts she was reading; library books were said to have a scent of perfume, be dusted with hair powder, adorned with fingerprints and torn by nails. In the margins of the books the text continued - a woman commented the read text and another woman commented her comments, creating a text which never ended, which continued into women's lives, into women's 'I'.
From "Thoughts around modernity and gender" by Nina Björk.

We are also reading "The Madwoman in the Attic" which is informative, theory-heavy, enraging and fascinating - all at once.
