Beaner thread

>>25064094
lmao it's so painfully obvious that the nordics are just giving the shit to themselves

Nobel prize holds quality second, idealistic world peace/betterment is the primary metric. Anglo's (at least US and UK) largely keep their idealism stupid and young or angry and old, which is not particularly conducive to creating Nobel laureates in literature.

you mean mexicans right?

>>25064101
Do you even know the meaning of the words you use? Beaner means Mexican, and their country isn't even on the graph.

Until the death of Milton I would say English literature outclassed everyone's except Italian. You're just measuring from the 20th Century when English output has been pretty sad apart from Joyce and Nabokov, both of whom were at heart not English peoples and both highly influenced by French literature

>>25064104
France isn't Nordic at all tho

What happened to Belgium

>>25064162
Obama, Kissinger, and the Venezuela Jewess are for world peace?

I think it's really just political, same with literature

>>25064218
Just as deserved as Obama's peace prize or Venezuela mama's peace prize.
To any historically savvy person with high IQ, it's obvious that Sweden would prioritize Poland due to bellicose grievances about Russia that resulted from the Northern War.
Practically no on reads Polish literature, apart from Conrad, who's part of the English canon, anyway. Everyone reads and knows Russian literature.
And it's not only Russian literature. Petrik Dzyckdzopa, a literal who from Pozzedgrad, received a piece of metal from a bunch of Swedish gay men because he wrote about how hard it is to be a closeted man in Suwalki; while James Joyce, widely read, widely translated, widely influential, hitting deep universal themes, received none.

just a generally commentary on the mood of threads like these. the temperaments, if you will.

Learn to read a chart, retard.

>>25064104
Yes, and?
Your surprise when some anglo prize goes to anglos is as great surely? If anything the critique for the Nobel is that they’re too concerned with “diversity” in the modern age. Women, minorities, bumfuckistan languages.

>>25064094
Nobel prize is a joke.

>>25064094
Anglos are fundamentally not an artistically inclined people. They are utilitarian bugmen.

>>25065477
This may sound crazy, but I believe that the artistic expression of the Anglo is humor and banter.

I can't speak for the UK, but USA literary culture is suffocatingly insular/parochial. American writers read mostly other American writers who've published in the past 20 years. Reading contemporary (read: anything post-WWII) foreign literature in translation is so uncommon that the people most enthusastic about foreign lit are parodied and mocked in American literary magazines. (Remember the whole Brodernism dust-up from last year?) Also, American writers keep their focus entirely on American cultural concerns, American ideas, American controversies, and American hot-button issues, and care little about investigating what's going on outside their borders. The average contemporary German writer of any merit could name a few contemporary American writers they enjoy reading -- I'd be stunned if the average contemporary American writer of any merit could name a single contemporary German writer that isn't Mann. And I'd be pleasantly surprised if they said Mann, who's BARELY contemporary.

So much for "muh Russian novelists."

Nordics are Germanics. The Franks were Germanics. The Normans were Germanics. The French are a great deal Germanic.

Didn't they give a nobel to some mid swede who wrote an above-average sci-fi poem? They easily give that award to fucking genreslop if it's swedish.

Well, its probably better to be insular than be openly cosmopolitan. Worked for Russia before Peter The Great.

>>25065801
The greatest Russian writer was born after Peter the Great died.

France and Poland each have more population than Norway, Sweden and Denmark combined.
Look at the Nordic writers that got the Nobels - irrelevant literally who

>>25065540
It's not even really "American" so much as "New York"

Idealism is not political unless it's extremist.

>>25066172
This isn't an accurate view of France. France is a multiethnic country.
>Basques in the southwest
>Brits in the West
>Nordic in the north
>Germanic in the east
>Italian in the south
Not much of France is Frank. It is only called so because the founder, Charlemagne, was Frank.
Not to mention the many many people who trace their lineage back to Gaul. And not to mention the many peoples who have been integrated over the years through colonies and conquests like Algerians, Niceans, Burgunds. Second only to France in this matter is Russia.

>>25066200
India was a country in 1910 tho dafuq you on about.

From the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s India was part of the UK. Indians existed, but there wasn't an independent country like we know today.

How the fuck do you even read these graphs?

America has spawned legions of talented novelists, poets, and short story writers, and there's no point challenging the achievement of the Brits. Also,
>appealing to Nobel authority in 2026
The only award with any meaning is the Fields Medal.

>>25065808
doesn't disprove my point, though. Peter The Great either made Russia a paradise or a shithole, depending on how you look at it. one things for certain, it made Russia "less Russian"

>>25065685
That nigger gave the prize to himself, he was a member of the Academy lmao
