Institutional conditions in education and publishing explain the personalist immediacy style

Evidence

These institutional conditions for the production and consumption of writing go some distance toward explaining the style—one in which voice and persona are solidities that precede forms, concepts, and canons. Beyond the university, some similar conditions in the adjacent industry of publishing brace the personalism of immediacy style. — Anna Kornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late…, 146

College pedagogy, labor footing in higher education, and the mental health epidemic in the first world all branch to the personalist blurring of genre and anti-representational immediacy in literary works today. These institutional conditions for the production and consumption of writing go some distance toward explaining the style—one in which voice and persona are solidities that precede forms, concepts, and canons. — Anna Kornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late…, 146

Categorization

• DEFINE: Productively names the core mechanism: institutional pressures in higher-ed and publishing produce the voice-first, form-last aesthetic the reader needs to name.
• XREF: Core to the reader’s thesis: immediacy has material/institutional causes. The claim that voice precedes forms, concepts, and canons is definitional for the style the reader wants to name.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Anna Kornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late…, 146
