But Schellekens's point, following Lamarque and Olsen, is that what we aesthetically appreciate in literature is not the perceptual surface — the ink on the page, the sound of words — but the meanings, the narrative structures, the ideas, the way a character is developed or a theme explored. These are not perceptually available in the relevant sense. Literary appreciation is fundamentally an intellectual and interpretive activity, and the standard conception struggles to account for it on its own terms." this is a paraphrase of, um, an idea in a Shelikan's paper which is definitely in my learning folder which has the phrase intellectual pursuits in the title. I can't remember the rest of the title. Um, I would like you to add this to the integration queue for the, well, I would like you to find a block quote from that PDF or two and add them to the integration cue for the typography paper, typology paper, excuse me. Uh, the reason why is because it'll be a nice sort of little lessons to have in there because you can say, well, it's the, here I am interested in the sensory surface of the ink on the page. ### Assistant I'll find that Schellekens paper and add the relevant quotes to your Typography Aesthetics integration queue.
