Dysphoria Revisited

Dominic Fox elaborates some more on Militant Dysphoria and the Cold World at Poetix.

Round-Up

Of reviews, interviews and mentions:

James Heartfield reviews Militant Modernism in Art Review; replete with capitalist realist end paragraph and confusion between Leslie and Kingsley Martin, but otherwise impeccable;

Frances Morgan reviews Fear of Music for the New Statesman;

Karl Whitney on Militant Modernism for 3AM Magazine, and a quick note by Hugh Pearman in the RIBA Journal;

And Owen Hatherley pontificates at length on various topics at Ready Steady Book.

Fear of Forums

Two forum discussions of David Stubbs' Fear of Music - at When Saturday Comes and a more argumentative Dissensus.

Viva Southampton City Council Architects Dept

Icon reviews Militant Modernism - a 'sparky, polemical and ferociously learned book'. And from a couple of weeks ago, PD Smith's review in the Guardian.

In a similar vein: Owen Hatherley defends blogs, against a slagging of the blog-becomes-book format from Stephen Howe - which then received a surprisingly sympathetic response.
