Notes on 'Camp'
by Susan Sontag
Two essays by Susan Sontag that discuss aspects of modern culture, particularly the relationship between 'high' and 'low' culture.
The first, Notes on 'Camp', is interesting enough and there are a few in her notes, but it shows its age, I think (would anyone today argue that Camp is apolitical?).
But for me, it's the second essay One Culture and the New Sensibility that is most thought-provoking and still quite relevant. It made me rethink my relationship with modern art and I think it could do the same for many people I know. I'll be recommending it far and wide!
