There’s been some good work done (Kate Eichorn, @msteinbrg.bsky.social among others), but one of our aesthetic categories badly in need of theorizing right now is “content.” The opposite of “slop” is not a ruined abby overlooking the Lake District.

I've been wondering if I was just out of the loop, but yeah: I have no idea what theoretical questions organize debate in literary study right now.

That's not necessarily bad? The hypertrophy of theoretical branding (already going strong in the 90s) wasn't super productive. If the field were +
