Description:“Advancement is a profoundly optimistic way to experience art, and that’s what makes it difficult to accept; it requires a flexible mind, a certain kind of intellectual humility, and a willingness to disregard what initially seems obvious...” —From the Foreword by Chuck Klosterman“Advancement scholars do not foster a spirit of inquiry...This entire theory is shackled by a Heisenbergian principle of self-consciousness.” —Rob Sheffield"Hartley gently advances his "Advanced Genius Theory" with rigor, enthusiasm, and a game sense of (re-)discovery. Eschewing the snide critical distance that many fans take for granted, Hartley gives the artist in question the benefit of the doubt." —Publishers WeeklyThe Advanced Genius Theory, hatched by Jason Hartley and Britt Bergman over pizza, began as a means to explain why icons such as Lou Reed, David Bowie, and Sting seem to go from artistic brilliance in their early careers to “losing it” as they grow older. In The Advanced Genius Theory, Jason Hartley proposes that these artists don’t actually lose it, but rather, their work simply advances beyond our comprehension. The ramifications and departures of this argument are limitless, and so are the examples worth considering, including George Lucas’s Jar Jar Binks, Bob Dylan’s Victoria’s Secret commercial, Stanley Kubrick’s fascination with coffee commercials, and the last few decades of Paul McCartney’s career. The theory is an alternative explanation for the supposed inevitable decline of artistic genius and embracing it can be revelatory. With equal doses of humor and philosophy, The Advanced Genius Theory examines music, literature, sports, politics, and the very meaning of taste, presenting an entirely new way to appreciate the pop culture we love…and sometimes think we hate.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
