Admin History: The recording is of the 3rd lecture in the series entitled 'The Poetics of Cliche', given by Mark Cousins as part of the AA Open Lecture series, 2011-2012. In this lecture, Mark Cousins looks into clich as 'the commonplace'; how clich arises as a problem and its relation to the organisation of discourse, class and pretentiousness.
