The New Pornographers & Wittgenstein
06.26.04 (12:44 pm)   [edit]
Others have already pointed out that a line from The New Pornographers's "Chump Change" ("... the world is that which is the case") is drawn from Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.

But it's also a handy way to think about anthropology, which has been on my mind because of the book (since it's called Anthropy and has to do with the study of human life) and because I've been putting together my Ph.D. exam section on ethnography.

You know when you're breaking up with someone and the music playing in the background seems to unnervingly relate? That's like The New Pornographers and library research.

I like the New Pornographers. And Wittgenstein (I'm joking about that part).
