I dreamt that I was at a lecture given by a sociologist of renown. He was about my age. The research he talked about concerned the rőle of beer halls and wine cellars in the formation of social movements in Nineteenth Century Europe. Using mainly the British, German, and French literature of the period, he studied all kinds of descriptors of watering holes. They were presented in a two-dimensional diagram, which was partitioned by two axes. The vertical axis divided the descriptors into positive and negative ones, while the horizontal one divided them into those relevant and irrelevant to the social movements of the period. I remember that the example of a positive and relevant descriptor was “the revolutionary gusto,” whereas the example of a negative and relevant one was “the drunken fringe.” The example of a negative but irrelevant descriptor made me laugh, and I had to restrain myself from giggling too audibly in the crowded lecture hall. It was “the blathering of women.” I struggled all night not to forget it by the time I got up. And I just got up feeling proud of my achievement. I still remember all the key descriptors from the lecture.
