They might come to the Holy Land Experience (HLE for short) out of faith or fascination or a misplaced sense of irony, but they all pay fifty dollars for entry, and some will spend a little extra for a \u2018My Cup Overflows Refillable Souvenir Cup.\u2019 In return, they get a curious kind of history lesson, plus a dose of American prosperity theology, which turns spending into a higher calling and spiritual pathos into gaudy pageantry.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019d think one of the nation\u2019s preeminent research institutions would have an innovative approach to digitization. But the Library of Congress is still lumbering in the general direction of the Internet. Kyle Chayka spoke to one activist who called it \u201ca national embarrassment,\u201d and he took a look himself: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/nplusonemag.com\/online-only\/online-only\/the-library-of-last-resort\/\" target=\"_blank\">The LOC takes scholarly care in digitization, assuring that the replicas it creates will be authoritative and stable, but the process is slow and inefficient<\/a>. Every object from the collection that gets digitized must first be removed from the LOC stacks or its storage warehouses offsite in Maryland, evaluated for its ability to endure physical scanning, and then hand-fed through a scanner. The resulting data is processed and uploaded to the Internet with proper tagging and citations, following standards that the LOC itself developed. A single print could take as long as a day to scan and upload.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Jeff Koons, the artist whose medium is capitalism, has laid off fourteen of his painters because they attempted to unionize: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/artfcity.com\/2016\/07\/18\/jeff-koons-lays-off-workers-amidst-reports-of-impropriety\/\" target=\"_blank\">Multiple anonymous sources say that the painters had begun the process of unionization over the past few months \u2026 Around the same time, management at Jeff Koons LLC decided to give the painters a raise. It is unknown whether or not this decision was related to the unionization<\/a>. But at the time, it was speculated by some of Koons employees that this move was intended to satiate the demand for a union. It\u2019s also notable that there hasn\u2019t been a tremendous amount of painting work to be done, which caused some employees to question the timing of the raise. The studio has no major upcoming shows and has only been working on a solo retrospective entitled, \u2018Now,\u2019 for Damien Hirst\u2019s Newport Street Gallery. Otherwise, the painters were working on backlogged commissions \u2026 Repeated phone calls to Jeff Koons LLC have thus far gone unanswered.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Welcome to the final horizon of academe: boredom studies. Randy Malamud attended the third annual Boredom Conference, in Warsaw, and he was pleasantly surprised by how much there was to pay attention to: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeshighereducation.com\/features\/one-big-yawn-the-academics-bewitched-by-boredom\" target=\"_blank\">I roundly nominate boredom for the catalogue of interesting new things for academics to study, all the more enthusiastically for the paradox lurking therein<\/a>. We have nothing to lose but our chains. Like coffee, masturbation, and bullshit, boredom promises fresh terrain: untrammelled intellectual exploration \u2026 The myriad tropes and venues of boredom range from Nietzsche\u2019s \u2018windless calm of the soul\u2019 to Beckett\u2019s claustrophobic infinite stuckness. The historian Jeffrey Auerbach, who presented at last year\u2019s Boredom Conference, is completing a monograph called <em>Imperial Boredom: Monotony and the British Empire<\/em>, about the bureaucracy, loneliness and disenchantment that accompanied England\u2019s exploitative world domination; it turns out imperial oppression wasn\u2019t that much fun after all.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>On the face of it, Iris Murdoch\u2019s <em>A Severed Head <\/em>is just your average midcentury sex romp, stacked with extramarital affairs and cuckolded husbands and even (why not) some incest. But it\u2019s really, Gabe Habash argues, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.themillions.com\/2016\/07\/incest-and-spouse-swapping-on-iris-murdochs-a-severed-head.html\" target=\"_blank\">a surrealist novel in the guise of a realist novel<\/a> \u2026 Murdoch smashes the old rule that you can\u2019t have more than two coincidences in a narrative, and so the book passes\u00a0<em>through\u00a0<\/em>any dubiousness and out the other side \u2026 Somewhere around the second or third revelation that one of these characters is sleeping with another one, you stop expecting the unexpected and begin expecting everything. It\u2019s as if Murdoch is saying, \u2018Yes, that\u00a0<em>can happen. <\/em>And so can this.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still haven\u2019t planned your summer getaway?
