If this encyclopedia were a city, it would feature prominently nightclubs, record stores, red light districts, museums, libraries, second hand book stores and comic book shops.
Biases
- Contrary to the guidelines of Wikipedia (of which this encyclopedia is a remix), this encyclopedia allows original research and has a publication bias favoring appreciative criticism.
- In biographies, lots of attention is given to romantic involvements (cherchez la femme and cherchez l'homme) and patronage.
- Geography: Europe, United States, cross-fertilization between the Anglosphere and Francosphere.
- Geographical bias: Eurocentrism, Francophilia; see these themes and sensibilities and keywords, canonical artists and theorists
- Body genres
- Preference for otherness and alterity
- Namesakes: importance of homonymy and paronymy are important and strenghten self-referentiality of the encyclopedia.
- General: bias towards the cultish, the transgressive and the nobrow; stereotypical representations
- Music: bias towards black music and underground music, see category World Music Classics
- Film: bias towards cult films, a total disregard Academy Awards
- Fiction: bias towards cult fiction and transgressional fiction, disregard for Nobel prizes, a bias towards film adaptations
- Art: bias towards the transgressive, erotic, fantastique and grotesque; Faultlines in 20th century art
- Genre: Fantastique preferred over fantasy.
