The way up and the way down is the same Reality Overdrive begins with the ominous sound, dark and mysterious at the same time. Borrowed from the opening credits of Kubrick’s Shining, the musical interlude announces a story of a writer and his family driving on the road up, towards the Overlook… Continue reading REALITY OVERDRIVE REVISITED – Part 2 The post REALITY OVERDRIVE… ## [II. WAGNER, NIETZSCHE AND THE MODERNIST AESTHETICS](https://thehip.mk/ii-wagner-nietzsche-and-the-modernist-aesthetics/) _2026-01-05 · Ljubisha Petrushevski · The Hip_ As discussed in Part 1, Modernism, instigated by Wagner, and later embraced by the whole of avant-garde, considered music and art in general to be the key vehicles for the transformation of the sick modern sensibility. Art was given a privileged status since it seemed to offer a short cut, an express way to subconscious… Continue reading II. WAGNER, NIETZSCHE AND THE MODERNIST AESTHETICS The post… ## [III. POETS AS LEGISLATORS](https://thehip.mk/iii-poets-as-legislators/) _2026-01-05 · Ljubisha Petrushevski · The Hip_ In his later work, Nietzsche’s approach became more poetic than philosophical. Realizing that the origin of thought is to be found in the poetic speech, that poetry is “the root and blossom of all other systems of thought”, he started using poetic style to explicate his philosophy. He never stopped praising the poets as true… Continue reading III. POETS AS LEGISLATORS The post III. POETS AS… ## [IV. THE USE OF THE MYTH AND THE REVENGE OF THE POETS](https://thehip.mk/iv-the-use-of-the-myth-and-the-revenge-of-the-poets/) _2026-01-05 · Ljubisha Petrushevski · The Hip_ Why do we need myths? Nietzsche understands Modernity as the moment that three things happened; first, art and knowledge were separated; second, the truth become a matter of logical deduction; third, art was judged morally/ Martine Prange It is important to note that, in essence, Modernism was not striving for anything modern. Quite the contrary,… Continue reading IV. THE USE OF THE MYTH AND THE… ## [V. EZRA POUND AND T. S. ELIOT](https://thehip.mk/v-ezra-pound-and-t-s-eliot/) _2026-01-05 · Ljubisha Petrushevski · The Hip_ Voices from the distant room It was Goran Stefanovski who, as my teacher at the Department of English and Literature, first introduced me to the work of Mr. Eliot. At the time (early 80’s) Goran was a living legend. His classes were very popular among my colleagues that otherwise hated poetry. But when Goran was… Continue reading V. EZRA POUND AND T. S.

THE WASTE LAND](https://thehip.mk/vi-the-waste-land/) _2026-01-03 · Ljubisha Petrushevski · The Hip_ Eliot’s criticism Unlike Pound, Eliot did not have a conflict with the system. Quite the contrary, he has very charming personality and beautiful looks that made him a darling in the bohemian circles of London. Although being born in St. Louis, Eliot always conceived himself to be British, largely due to his British heritage on… Continue reading VI. THE WASTE LAND The post VI. THE WASTE LAND… ## [VII. LESSONS LEARNED FROM POUND AND ELIOT](https://thehip.mk/vii-lessons-learned-from-pound-and-eliot/) _2026-01-03 · Ljubisha Petrushevski · The Hip_ History versus Myth Eliot states that there are two aspects of artist’s creative struggle. On one hand, the artist has to destroy every trait of his subjectivity if he cares to enter the zone of eternal creation. But the quester has to be properly equipped for the journey. In other words, over time he has… Continue reading VII. LESSONS LEARNED FROM POUND AND ELIOT The post VII. LESSONS LEARNED… ## [VIII. MYTHS AND MYSTICISM IN ROCK MUSIC](https://thehip.mk/viii-myths-and-mysticism-in-rock-music/) _2026-01-03 · Ljubisha Petrushevski · The Hip_ As an art form, rock music has widely reflected on myths and the mystical experiences. The examples are so many. Suffice to say that the whole of psychedelic rock, starting from Lenon’s “Tomorrow Never Knows” can be termed mystical. Progressive rock is in general a mixture of the mystical and mythological. Metal music is similarly… Continue reading VIII.

CONCLUSION](https://thehip.mk/x-conclusion/) _2026-01-03 · Ljubisha Petrushevski · The Hip_ The aim of Part 2 of this study is to investigate the aesthetics of Modernism – its reinvigoration of the myth and the mysticism – as a decisive influence on the poetry of Pound and Eliot. Attempting to prove the congruence between the mythological and mystical narratives in the poetry and the critical works of… Continue reading X. CONCLUSION The post X.
