Literacy has traditionally been described as the ability to read for knowledge, write coherently and think critically about printed material. – Wikipedia Literacy at its most basic is the ability to read and write. Someone is judged “literate” by what they’ve read or written, and notions of literateness (as opposed to “literacy”) have changed over […]
The Classical Music Critic Goes Extinct
Seems important to note the passing of music criticism as a legitimate job in Canada. John Terauds, for six years staff classical music critic of the Toronto Star, was reassigned this week to the paper’s business section. He was the last full-time classical music critic at a Canadian newspaper. The job of full-time classical music […]
A New Look
If you’re a follower of ArtsJournal blogs, you’ll notice that this blog doesn’t look the same as any of the others. That’s because I’m in the midst of redesigning all of AJ, starting with the blogs, and using my own as a beta test. It’s not just the look that’s different (and that look will […]

Beware the mushy middle
The NYT’s Charles Isherwood writes about what he calls the “odd-man-out” syndrome: This can roughly be described as the experience of attending an event at which much of the audience appears to be having a rollicking good time, while you sit in stony silence, either bored to stupefaction or itchy with irritation, miserably replaying the […]
We're All For Technology Except When…
Nick Carr has a great post about the course of technology development. Progress doesn’t always go the way we think it ought to (even if we’re right). Progress may, for a time, intersect with one’s own personal ideology, and during that period one will become a gung-ho technological progressivist. But that’s just coincidence. In the […]
