Jeg kan på en måde også godt lide den konfrontatoriske tone fra Bruce Andrews-interviewet:

I always felt like the problem with the curriculum in literary studies is not that it can’t accommodate so-called language poetry, as an addendum, as an extra thing; it can, I think. But the problem is that, for us, the other stuff is in the way. There’s a sense that for us to actually have the kind of presence in literary culture that we would like to have, we need to have our work actively delegitimize other work, to clear a space for it. Pluralism isn’t it. There literally has to be a detonating quality, where we put a little bomb under people’s expectations, so that they say well now that I’m excited about this, this other stuff seems hopelessly boring and I’m no longer interested in it, period. I remember when Dworkin was on the faculty at Princeton he said one of his greatest achievements was to get Robert Frost taken off the required reading list. To me that’s the issue.

René sagde at han havde talt med Jørgen Michaelsen om noget der måske var noget andet, men med en lignende idé om at kunsten er nødt til at være destruktiv. Var det Højholt der sagde "man destruerer sig vej frem"? (Eller var det Gustava Brandt?) Nej komon! Selvfølgelig var det Højholt.
