One essay claims that “to talk about [this concept] is therefore to betray it,” but defends the betrayal with “the goal of self-edification.” An essay on this concept asserts that “to name a sensibility… requires a deep sympathy modified by revulsion” and argues “to patronize the faculty of taste is to patronize oneself.” That essay claims that Jean Genet’s (“zhawn zhuh-NAY’s”) ideas exemplify this concept, but his writing style does not. An essay titled for this concept calls it the “glorification of ‘character’” and lists examples of it like “the Brown Derby restaurant on Sunset Boulevard,” “old Flash Gordon comics,” and “stag movies seen without lust.” An essay interspersed with epigrams from Oscar Wilde is structured as a 58-part list on this concept, whose “ultimate statement” is “it’s good because it’s awful.” For 10 points, what concept was elucidated in an essay of “Notes” by Susan Sontag? ■END■
