Maggie Nelson emphasizes that it's crucial to explore the multiplicity of intentions and impacts that an artist's work can communicate, rather than just valuing connection.
Nelson warns against 'concept creep,' where terms shift from one domain to another, highlighting its role in forming metaphors and potentially distorting their meanings and implications.
The discussion about literary works focuses on the identities they create, prompting reflection on the broader question of artistic influence on self-perception and societal roles.
The transformation of terms across contexts raises concerns about how we categorize experiences and how this categorization might obscure meaningful distinctions in artistic evaluation.
