A lesson from
the Inklings
Columnist Bailey Kadian talks about
her time with Inklings at Oxford
I often think to myself,
Maybe this doesn’t make any
sense.
You may ask what “this”
refers to. “This” can be a lot
of things. My career, my goals,
how I see the next ten years
of my life unfolding, how I
plan to use my time, how I
currently use my time, what I
wish I could get more involved
in, what I think should happen
in my life, what is happening
in my life. The list goes on.
Over the years, I
have drawn a parallel
between how I see
the
trajectory
of
my life and what I
believe would be the
most logical way to
compose its course.
I have viewed my
education,
and
the
experiences
that
surround
it,
as
an
entity
that
requires a clear, set
path. I worry that
my
studies
don’t
necessarily
align
with
my
long-term
goals,
like one day maybe owning a
business or having a family.
I have muddled the idea of
freedom in my education with
a belief that my future has to
be practical or “make sense.” I
have put school in one category
of learning and everything
else, like volunteering or social
events, in another.
It has taken some time to
unravel such a view of things.
This past summer, I had the
opportunity to study at Oxford
and during my time abroad, I
experienced a taste of what it
was like to move my education
outside of its usual constraints.
I met many different students,
with
different
interests,
dreams and passions. I went
into the program thinking: as
an English major, studying at
an institution such as this one,
with faculty of such value, I
will be able to further engage
in my study of literature,
and
better
understand
its place in my
education.
Many of those
initial
hopes
did
come
to
fruition, but not
in a conventional
way.
The
experience
of
learning
in
a
new place, with
new
people,
taught me more
than
anything
out of a book or
lecture.
When
you are thrown
into an entirely
new
setting
and
forced
to
adapt, you learn
the most about
yourself. I don’t
mean to project
this
in
some
cliché
form
of
traveling abroad
to “find myself.”
I mean that while
you are abroad, surrounded by
new people, you start to see the
way you view your life outside
of its usual structures. When
those boundaries blurred a bit,
what I found was invaluable.
In
class,
I
saw
the
differences that bring students
together to study a certain
author or text. We came at it
from different angles, yet we
found commonalities across
what moved us and why. I
took a course on the Inklings,
a group of writers who met
as a weekly literary group in
Magdalen
College.
Among
them were C.S. Lewis, J.R.R.
Tolkien, Owen Barfield and
Charles Williams.
Some students loved “The
Lord of the Rings,” some were
fascinated by Lewis’s religious
writings
and
others
were
particularly interested in each
writer’s ties to Oxford and
their lasting legacy.
The Inklings met to discuss
their writings, their lives,
ideas
and
dreams.
These
writers moved learning into a
category of living. That is what
I believe my experience was.
Beyond sitting in a classroom
and reading the texts of these
writers, we found that the
learning was woven through
every experience. I learned
the most about people and
their lives while sitting on
the lawn before dinner, or
riding on a bus to
an excursion. Yes,
many of us had
similar interests in
literature, but my
love for Lewis was
vastly
different
than
others’
interest in Tolkien,
or love for fantasy.
We learned from
one
another
because of these
differences.
Our
education
stretches
far
beyond the limits
of a course or field of study.
What I saw before as a failure
in finding a clear path to my
future, I now recognize needs
to be reordered. There is no
such thing as one way to learn,
or one way to follow a passion.
However, there is one way to
miss it. We can remain too
limited in what we know or
what we have grown used to.
That makes us unable to see
our need for something new.
When Tolkien and Lewis
met among the other Inklings,
they didn’t just sit and confirm
what they already believed to
be true. They pushed against
their views of fantasy, religion,
romance and language. By
studying the way these writers
engaged with each other and
challenged each other, I feel
I need to implement these
habits in my own educational
experience. The Inklings saw
one another as teachers, and
greatly valued every opinion
about
their
work.
The
fellowship
of this group
encourages
me to consider
who I surround
myself
with,
and
how
willing
I
am
to learn from
them.
We
become
comfortable
— and remain
fixed — in a
lifestyle
that
makes
sense
to us, or aligns
with
our
goals. But we
need
things
to disrupt our
positions.
We
need people to
question
why
we
believe
what
we
believe, or love
what we love. It
is only in those
moments that we can firmly
hold onto the very ideals we
build our lives upon. While
surrounded by so many people,
you cling to common interests,
and possibly diverge on certain
principles. But through the
common thread of accepting
the experience, you are forced
to grow.
In reflection of his time
with
the
Inklings,
Lewis
once wrote, “What I owe to
them all is incalculable.” Use
those around you to grow
and learn, and allow the
views
that
challenge
your
own to teach you more about
yourself. Dismissing such an
opportunity for the sake of
comfort robs you of plenty.
Once you abandon the rigid
track you feel you must follow
and look outside of it — you’ll
likely find your path more
transparent than ever before.

‘The B-Side’ overstays its welcome
Documentary provides nuanced if not long-winded look at a beat photographer
The latest documentary from
Errol Morris (“The Unknown
Known”) is much too long for
its subject matter. At the center
of “The B-Side: Elsa Dorfman’s
Portrait Photography” is a now
eighty-year-old woman who
moved to New York in 1959, took
up photography and ended up
capturing many seminal Beat
generation
figures
through
her camera lens. Among her
most impressive works is a
series of 1975 photographs
featuring Bob Dylan and Allen
Ginsberg. Later,
she
became
Ginsberg’s
trusted
photographer,
capturing
him
as
he
aged.
Dorfman
turned to more
commercial,
family-oriented
portrait
photography
as
she
settled
in
Cambridge,
MA, where she
now lives. Dorfman continues
to use large-format Polaroid
photography, even
past the format’s
popularity.
But
while
Dorfman’s
life,
especially in the
1960s, is naturally
intriguing,
Morris’s
documentary
is
cinematic
overkill. Even at
a
lean
seventy-
six minutes, the
film feels at least
half an hour too
long, and at times more of an
advertisement for Dorfman’s
services from a friend rather
than a prodding examination
of lives and cultures one can
expect from a documentarian
of Morris’s stature. That’s
not to say the whole film is
a bust — Dorfman is a warm
personality
who
offers
a
rather unique perspective on
a closely-studied generation of
people, and her photography
is as compelling as herself
— but the film may feel more
at home as an informative
program running on a helpful
television next to a temporary
art exhibit.
