Walter Benjamin, in "Unpacking My Library," writes<\/p>\n

The most profound enchantment for the collector is the locking of
\n individual items within a magic circle in which they are fixed as the final
\n thrill, the thrill of acquisition, passes over them. (60)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Today, I’m thinking of my exam areas and the respective lists–collections,
\nreally–as temporarily locked items in magic circles. I’m semi-officially
\nin the exam phase of my program of study, and although I have yet to type up a
\nreflective essay (a post-coursework "Stuff I’m Thinking About") and get
\nthumbs-ups from the grad committee in the fall, my lists are
\n
\nreasonably<\/a>
\nwell<\/a>
\nset<\/a>.
\nWith a streak of good, steady studying, I hope to examine in November. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I filled two hours this afternoon with shelving toward what Benjamin calls
\nthe "mild boredom of order" in a book collection. I’m still missing a few;
\nthey should arrive from various half.com sellers in ten days or twelve. My
\nlibrary hunts are complete, and I have nearly all of the article length stuff in
\npdf, html or paper. And a couple of (bold<\/b>) books on my list are neither
\nin Bird Library nor in the collections of my examiners. For these, I’ll
\nwait a few weeks before deciding what to do about it. I have a slim margin
\nof excess in my lists. That is, they’re built to withstand subtractions.
\nAnd I should expect, as I would with any reading, that a few items in the
\ncollections will peel off and drop away while other shadow texts will be
\nrecruited into the sets along the way. About the "mild boredom of order":
\nI tend to keep books loosely organized into chaopiles. But ten-book stacks
\nwere beginning to wall in my desk space, so I picked up a cheap shelf and
\ndedicated it to housing exam items. <\/p>\n

I’ve half-joked before that exam lists could just be randomizations of titles
\nfrom the book collections of our committee members. In such a system, each
\nexaminer or committee member would provide a long list of books, an
\nidiosyncratic list of books ever-before-read. Examinees (or computers!)
\nwould determine student’s exam lists by running a randomization rule on the
\nlarger list. And then read. Eccentric, sure. But I’d bet you a
\nquarter that the stuff I’m reading (collections more or less of my own design)
\nwouldn’t diverge in drastic ways from randomizations pulled from my examiners’
\ncollections. <\/p>\n

There is still more work to do with the formal statements defining each
\nexamination area. I have rough starts, but those will have to be polished
\nbefore the first grad committee meeting in early fall. Although there’s no
\nprovision to allow for such a thing, I’m tempted to break precedent and submit a
\nphoto for my exam proposal. I doubt it would fly. Maybe just for the exam
\non visualization and new media. Might improve the proposal’s odds if I
\nappeared in the photo, reading or even posed-as-if-about-to-start-reading.\n<\/p>\n
