He tries to reconstruct periods of his life of which he has no memory — "Contemplating the blackouts in their aggregate makes my breath come short" — and pursues epistemological puzzles with the casual and discursive intelligence of the truly bored.
It's fitting, then, that curators Eric Lawton and Daphne Takahashi would bring to Westbeth Gallery Discursive Selves, a group show of photography and video art that examines how identities are formed, transmuted, distorted, and displayed in the social sphere.

It has proved, time and time again, to be integral to civilizations' conceptual claims to truth, harnessing the discursive power of human progress, while appealing to security and order and even taking place in the name of freedom and justice.

In this same chapter, however, I also found myself at my most disoriented — possibly because Mr. Bloom is at his loosest and most discursive, and possibly because it seems to be the one place where he is most amenable to empathy's charms.
Writing in short discursive chapters, occasionally stopping to address some aspect of queer theory or list her favorite Disney villains, Machado weaves a captivating tale of a romance gone sour and the deep scars that emotional and verbal abuse can leave. —T.

A student of American prose could hold up Adams's Grant-bashing memoir against Grant's own memoir to define the two furthest points of American recollection: one discursive, mordant, allusive, and hyperbolic—exaggeration of affect is the key to Adams's "education"—the other pointed, reduced, and understated.

And it's what, among the participants of Robert Jeffress's concert, makes him the ultimate patriot and the ideal Christian leader, someone who represents the epitome of what they say Christianity should be: bold, brave, fighting against the "feminization" of the political, religious, and discursive spheres alike.

In discursive online blog postings about foreign policy that invoke the likes of Kanye West, Oprah Winfrey and Rhonda Byrne's self-help bestseller "The Secret," Page has blamed the U.S. for "misguided and provocative actions" toward Russia — notable in light of Trump's friendly words for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A.P.: To really read any discursive text, whether a philosophical tract or a legal contract, is a disturbing and cognitively disorienting experience, because it means allowing another person's thoughts to intrude into your own and rearrange your beliefs and assumptions — often not in ways to which you would consent if warned in advance.

"Swing Time," a longish book split into short, fleeting chapters, channels the propulsive, addictive, discursive mode of the novel-memoir hybrid that has lately been in fashion (Smith has admiringly referred to the work of Karl Ove Knausgaard as "crack"), but in the service of more traditional fiction, the kind that is unambiguously invented.
Their overlapping dialogue is as discursive as their stretching is synchronised, spanning topics as varied as menstruation (pads or tampons?), refugee camps, bird-watching and the Khmer Rouge (ie, what it is, how to pronounce it and whether to feel ashamed of one's ignorance of it; "We don't do genocides 'til senior year," says one girl defensively).
Save for a loin cloth, a nearly naked man nailed to a cross is flying overhead, recalling these lines from Guillaume Apollinaire's great poem, "Zone": Behold the Christ who flies higher than aviators He holds the world's record for altitude This connection does not clarify Garabedian's painting, which most likely will always remain baffling, unyielding to discursive meaning.

I found a new principle in the writing of the philosopher Justin Khoo, a young professor at MIT, who recommends what he calls "discursive intolerance" as a way of rescuing Mill's marketplace of ideas when the market throngs with scoundrels selling false goods and making debased change, and anarchists labor in cellars on bombs that will explode the marketplace completely.
"Interview data revealed heterosexual sexual harassment of women by men as a discursive and actual practice in all four case-study institutions," wrote Louise Morley, the lead researcher and professor of education at the University of Sussex, in the UK.

In her essay for the exhibition catalogue, Schor writes that Feminist art is "strikingly […] not usually identified as an 'avant-garde'" despite its political, social, and aesthetic correspondences to previous movements that were historically based on "the discursive paradigm of male artistic genius": The inability to perceive the links between 'feminism' and 'avant-garde' is thus a conspicuous blind spot in both art history and art criticism.

In The Signifying Monkey: A Theory of African-American Literary Criticism, Henry Louis Gates defines signifying, in the black vernacular sense, as the art of moving "freely between two discursive universes" — "the white linguistic realm," Eurocentric and self-consciously literary, and a parallel black dimension that wrests the tool of language from the master's hand and turns it to its own uses, be they political, playful, subversive, or outright seditious.
Of course, it's never been that black and white in the real world––Robert Christgau's "Consumer Guide" is written with more artistry and pure entertainment value than most works of discursive criticism, in part because Christgau is a very good writer and most writers are not very good at all––but now that all music is basically free to stream or a physical artifact to be collected, these two forms have merged more than ever.
When the British prime minister visited Dublin last month, Mr. Varadkar welcomed him with an anecdote about Winston Churchill, Mr. Johnson's hero, spying the Irish coast through the clouds after a long flight from the United States at the end of World War II. Tall and trim, speaking in clipped sentences, Mr. Varadkar was a stark contrast to the shambling, discursive Mr. Johnson, who rankled some in Dublin by referring to his host as Leo.
Among them are Judy, née Frank (after Judy Garland, née Frances Gumm), a "sloppy, fat," masochistic trans woman who turns tricks and dreams of "feminine success, which she would have defined as lustful attention"; Judy's regular "date," a sadistic, cynical retired policeman fond of spanking, spewing insults and telling war stories; a flinty barkeep who dispenses mind-altering substances that stoke, inflame and sustain her needy patrons; and a participant-narrator who offers play-by-play commentary and discursive observations on the drama — so much drama!
It's all clear as it is"; "The diagram could be quite small, there was no need to waste such large wooden panels on it"; "Instead of moving the sky, he had better learn how to draw grass"; "This is baloney, some kind of scholasticism …"; "I'm not going anywhere else today, I'll just stop at a store and go right home …"; "That couple, a husband and wife, I think I know them …" Unlike Kabakov's discursive installation crowded with dozens of imaginary voices, "The "Room No. 3" by Irina Nakhova swaddles the viewer in darkness and solitude.
Christina Sharpe tells us this much in her book In the Wake:  When we find images of Black suffering in various publics framed in and as calls to action or calls to feel with and for … That is, these images work to confirm the status, location, and already held opinions within dominant ideology about those exhibitions of spectacular Black bodies whose meanings then remain unchanged …  the repetition of the visual, discursive, state, and other quotidian and extraordinary cruel and unusual violences enacted on Black people does not lead to a cessation of violence, nor does it, across or within communities, lead primarily to sympathy or something like empathy.
Young makes it work as she abruptly toggles between stanzas of lined poetry and discursive paragraphs of prose on Mevedev's thoughts, such as: I guess you could say I did a good job at the gala the development consultant said I was a natural someone should slap a nametag on me she praised my dress I'd been waiting for the chance to confess its price, $27 and where I got it, Forever 21 And then: MY FASCISM is an essay about the relation of politics and art in 20183 in Russia, how some artists on the far right had made a powerfully vital, syncretic, and dangerous art.
