Since conceptions are structures, the work of art must act upon the intuitive-discursive structures of mind, through its own structures. In literature this process has evolved from the architecture of myth to that of symbol; in music, from the forms of homophony, to sonata, to series. The classical artist does not preoccupy himself with the potentially paralyzing self-conscious effort of contemporancity. All time is present to him at all moments because he sees the world as formal process rather than as an enigmatic cauldron perfused with subjective data.

The automobile graveyard as a symbol of Decadent Culture is as much a cliche of the New Cinema as riding off into the sunset was of the Old. Godard's constant use of acrostics, anagrams and linguistic puns ("Cinemarxism," "Freudemocracy") reads like old issues of TIME. The Stones...
