What is practice-based criticism? • Dear a. by Maria Williams-Russell

THIS IS THIS DRESS, [AIDER]

During Feb and Mar 2012, in collaboration with the Kelly Writers House, we will be hosting materials for

Philadelphia Lawyer (clever, shrewd attorney) :
Poet = Ped[et al.]agog = Idea[l]log ?

a talk series exploring the competing ideologies investing differential practices of critique in Philadelphia, at the University of Pennsylvania, of the KWH, or elsewhere. We welcome submissions of essais that enact complication between university scholarship and its "alternatives".

Talks will take place on February 23 and March 22, at KWH, hosted by CARA BENSON, in collaboration with speakers MARCELLA DURAND and PATTIE MCCARTHY.

Below can be found works with [by] others, in response to the question, What is practice-based criticism?

Dear a. by Maria Williams-Russell

Dear a.

Yesterday I yelled at the dog for chewing the leather sofa. He chewed a hole so big, the white matted stuff of the sofa made a moon pie of itself. We had to move that section of the sofa to the corner of the room so that when company came over they would not notice what our dog had done, and in turn not think what kind of people were we.

The stuffing has already collected plenty of lint pills, is webbed and bumpy, and when I touch it my teeth hurt.

I don’t love the dog. Not really. He is cute and everything, but he doesn’t listen.

I mention this because you’re right about punishment.
