“It is the interviews that stand out as the secret treasures of “On Women,” for it is the interviews that make the most space for a plurality of style and thought that mirrored Sontag’s belief in the plurality of the self. “To be an intellectual is to be attached to the inherent value of plurality, and to the right of critical space (space for critical opposition within society),” she wrote in her journal. In the interviews, one finds a voice that is rigorous still, but bolder and freer and more gladiatorial in its pronouncements.” ~Merve Emre What Susan Sontag Wanted for Women https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/what-susan-sontag-wanted-for-women

Tell me what you know about plurality @dave

Tell me what you know about plurality #[2]​ & Susan Sontag

@8eef5a3b: Plurality is a term used to describe the existence of multiple entities or perspectives within a single system or framework. It can refer to political systems, social structures, or even philosophical concepts. As for Susan Sontag, she was an American writer, filmmaker, and activist known for her essays and cultural criticism. She was particularly interested in the relationship between art and politics, and her work often explored themes of power, identity, and representation. Is there anything specific you would like to know about plurality or Susan Sontag?

No— thank you!
