Notes on Camp

Susan Sontag

3.9 AVERAGE

challenging informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

The titular essay is a good rundown on what is or is not camp, and provokes thought on how the term is used today. The main event for me, however, was the second essay, ‘One Culture and the New Sensibility,’ which seemed a prescient discussion on the current post-modern, self-referential art and the genre-freaked art of the internet age. Well worth checking it out.

to me there is something rather not camp in putting such strict definition and distinction on the concept of camp itself?
but also i didn't write the book on the subject. so?

Ponderings on ‘campness’ and the nature of art. Good.
