Study Task 9

This post was meant to be part of study task 9 for studio brief 2 but I have done it wrong and based it on my essay and research rather than my visual journal. It has helped me define the key pints of my essay and make changes to it.

"ivory tower A condition of isolation or seclusion from worldly or practical affairs; a sheltered, protected existence removed from the harsh realities of life; an attitude of aloofness or distance from the mainstream of society. The original term appears to have been the French tour d’ivoire first used by the French literary critic Sainte-Beuve in reference to the French writer Alfred Victor de Vigny in his book Pensées d’Août (1837). The expression appeared in English in Brereton and Rothwell’s translation of Bergson’s Laughter (1911):

Each member [of society] must be ever attentive to his social surroundings … he must avoid shutting himself up in his own peculiar character as a philosopher in his ivory tower.

The term has spawned the noun ivory-tow-erism and the adjectives ivory-towerish and ivory-towered ‘impractical, theoretical, removed from reality.’ "
