Michael Parker: Big I.F.: The Imitative Fallacy and Structural Integrity (January 2018)

$5.00

The imitative fallacy occurs when we merely mimic the chaos without employing formal order, leaving the reader more confused than satisfied.  Drawing from Wright Morris’ The Works of Love, Danielle Dutton’s S P R A W L, and Brian Eno’s deconstruction of Pachelbel’s Canon, Parker discusses why the imitative fallacy is something we should always risk in our attempt to capture the rhythm of experience, but should never commit.
