		<description><![CDATA[Why &quot;alas&quot;? If artists were not dependent on this world, they would write about nothing anyone could understand or relate to -- perhaps about nothing at all. We are in and of the world. That is to be celebrated. And why should the artist be disinterested? The artist is an artist because they are deeply interested, deeply involved in the world. Deeply in love with, in anguish over, suffering with the world. A disinterested artist wouldn&#039;t be an artist. A disinterested person could not be an artist. Love of words, love of sounds, love of color, love of shape, love of texture -- without love, there is no art. Disinterested love? A contradiction in terms!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[...] The legal fiction of the King&#8217;s Two Bodies had far reaching consequences &#8212; including creation of legal doctrines that are still honored today in various forms (like adverse possession against the state).   Importantly, the development of the king&#8217;s temporal exclusion is seem most clearly through the lens of property claims on inalienable property held by the crown.  Ernst Kantorovicz describes the emergence of prescription claims in England and their connection to the inalienability of kingly lands: The English royal judges of the twelfth century most certainly were familiar the legal concept of prescription, which had capital importance in canon law and to which Graetian in his decretum devoted a whole section on which naturally the Decretists commented over and over again.  But the English judges apparently saw no need in themselves to reflect upon the idea of prescription, since they seem to not mention it at all.  This indifference towards prescription changed in the following century: Bracton dealt repeatedly, and in a scholarly manner, with the principle Longa Possessio Parit its, &#8220;long possession creates right.&#8221;&#8230; By [Bracton&#039;s] time reflections upon claims to prescriptive possession had become momentous to the royal judges.  In fact, prescription attained actuality within the public sphere once a certain complex of royal lands and rights had been set aside as &#8220;inalienable.&#8221;  In that moment, prescription and the prescriptive effects of time acquired considerable importance because they clashed, or might clash, with the notion of inalienability.  That is to say, the royal judges frequently faced situations in which they had to decide not only whether or not a private person could legally claim possession by prescription, but also to what extent such claims would affect royal rights and lands which were labeled &#8220;inalienable.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[James, 

I see your point about &quot;interactivity,&quot; although what I copied from John&#039;s post was that aspect of the analogy that struck me as clearly troubling, leaving open the possibility that other parts, like the assumption &quot;interactivity&quot; has a common meaning in both cases, may be problematic as well (hence the final clause in the last sentence): indeed, perhaps as you say, even more fundamental in that regard. I simply had not thought enough about that to make the claim with the confidence you do here (if only because of my very limited experience with and knowledge of video games!).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actually, I wonder about the the statement that &quot;you-the player&quot; directly participate in games, whereas there is aesthetic distance between &quot;you&quot; and the &quot;character&quot; in fiction.    It&#039;s not at all clear what aspects of videogames this claim is based on; every time I think of a plausible candidate, I can immediately think of games in which it&#039;s absent, or books in which it&#039;s present.  I think you&#039;ve edited out the part of John&#039;s post that most precisely diagnoses what&#039;s wrong with Scalia&#039;s metaphor: the unwarranted assumption that &quot;interactivity&quot; means the same thing for games and for fiction.]]></description>
