Тезаурус:

  1. Many people who are accomplished linguists have no literary sensibility.
  2. With its loud, luscious harmonies, raunchy guitar and full brass band, the record is commercial country blues peppered with lyrical bons mots and that female troubadour sensibility.
  3. Both show life in a mining town with some degree of realism and Reed's picture, about a community in which the miners are browbeaten into working a coal seam which the proprietor knows to be dangerous, links itself to the documentarist sensibility with an opening voiceover referring to those "simple working people who take heroism for granted as part of their daily lives", and a concluding epilogue that calls for the world to be "purged of its old greeds."
  4. Writing the preface to Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth (1961) Jean-Paul Sartre remarked the violence and duplicity of European humanism in the colonial context; it had been, said Sartre, "nothing but an ideology of lies, a perfect justification for pillage; its honeyed words, its affectation of sensibility were only alibis for our aggressions" (p. 21).
  5. So it is futile to try to define the homosexual sensibility according to the standards of conventional sensibility: first because the latter has sought to exclude the former; second because, in retaliation, the former has often worked to undermine the latter and, in the process, challenged the very nature of the aesthetic, fashioning in the process new and sometimes oppositional mutations of it.

  7. So it is misleading to say that camp is the gay sensibility; camp is an invasion and subversion of other sensibilities, and works via parody, pastiche, and exaggeration.
  8. "I myself cannot even begin to imagine by what mental process an educated and rational man of some sensibility moves from the reputed subtleties of Keynsian economics (the process which has, apparently, saved the capitalist system from the collapse which would in turn have provoked a revolution) to the blatant crudities of contemplating intercourse with a mindless whore.
  9. The two pioneering forces of modern sensibility are Jewish moral seriousness and homosexual aestheticism and irony."
  10. But Wilde also fashioned his transgressive aesthetic into a celebration of anarchic deviance, and this is yet another factor which makes it difficult to identify the sensibility involved.
  11. Even a cursory look at gay history and culture suggests that the sweep and conclusions of his argument are questionable at virtually every turn, as indeed is the very notion of a homosexual sensibility.
  12. The Elusive Homosexual Sensibility
  13. The definition of camp is as elusive as the sensibility itself, one reason being simply that there are different kinds of camp.
