Lecture One How to Read Literature?
Read for Meaning
Plato only allows the serious poets and story-tellers who will write about virtues only to live in his ideal republic.
Aristotle believes that tragedy has the function of catharsis, that is, through watching a great tragedy, people find their violent emotions relieved and themselves purified.
Chinese idea “文以明道”（荀子）“
“文以载道”（曹丕）
“文以贯道” （韩愈）
“文所以再载道也” （周敦颐）
Read for Form
Poetry is a form of language characterized by an orientation towards its own form. What it first of all allows us to see in a fresh manner is language itself. The form is part of the content.
“Art exists that one may recover the sensation of life…The purpose of art is to impart the sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known” (Shklovsky)

L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E P=O=E=T=S by poet Bernadette Mayer in her work, "Experiments":
Systematically derange the language, for example, write a work consisting only of prepositional phrases, or, add a gerundive to every line of an already existing piece of prose or poetry, etc.
Get a group of words (make a list or select at random); then form these words (only) into a piece of writing—whatever the words allow. Let them demand their own form, and/or: Use certain words in a set way, like, the same word in every line, or in a certain place in every paragraph, etc. Design words.
Write what cannot be written, for example, compose an index. (Read an index as a poem).
Consider word & letter as forms—the concretistic distortion of a text, for example, too many o's or a multiplicity of thin letters (illftiii, etc.)
Attempt writing in a state of mind that seems least congenial.
Attempt to eliminate all connotation from a piece of writing & vice versa.
Work your ass off to change the language & don't ever get famous.
