George SteinerReal Presences, 1989
• In short, I am construing a society, a politics of the primary; of immediacies in respect of texts, works of art, and musical compositions. The aim is a mode of education, a definition of values devoid, to the greatest possible extent, of ‘meta-texts’: this is to say, of texts about texts (or paintings or music), of academic, journalistic and academic-journalistic…talk about the aesthetic. ( p. 6)
