I once wrote on essay on Derrida and sovereignty called “Taking on the Tradition” and ‘taking on’ was obviously a double entendre. I now want to write a book to essays called “Takes on the Tradition,” leaning into the single entendre.
Something about the "millennial media take" has enabled topic that are either dumb/pointless or academic/niche/irrelevant to be "sold" to a reading public (the 500 people who click on them) as "essential" for "Doing the Work." That's exactly the point of this bit I keep doing.
