Faciality and Minor Literatures “…....ethical despair……”



Feminist Cocktail coming soon.

“We need concepts in order to think our way in a world of forces that we do not control. Concepts are not means of control but forms of address that carve out for us a space and time in which we may become what can respond to the indeterminate particularity of events. Concepts are thus ways of addressing the future, and in this sense are the conditions under which a future different from the present – the goal of every radical politics – becomes possible” (Grosz 80).



Unless we are very, very careful, we doom each other by holding onto images of one another based on preconceptions that are in turn based on indifference to what is other than ourselves. This indifference can be, in its extreme, a form of murder and seems to me a rather common phenomenon. we claim autonomy for ourselves and forget that in so doing we can fall into the tyranny of defining other people as we would like them to be. By focusing on what we choose to acknowledge in them, we impose an insidious control on them. I notice that I have to pay careful attention in order to listen to others with an openness that allows them to be as they are, or as they think themselves to be. The shutters of my mind habitually flip open and click shut, and these little snaps form into patterns I arrange for myself. The opposite of this inattention is love, is the honoring of others in a way that grants them the grace of their own autonomy and allows mutual discovery. 12 August 1974, Ann Truitt Truitt, Anne. //Daybook//. Penguin Books, 1984.



Iterating, Reading Ethics

Hannah Hoch! []

seems to relate to the Blade Runner discussion: "We need only appre­hend in an unbiased way That which has already claimed man and has done so, so decisively that he can only be man at any given time as the one so claimed. Wherever man opens his eyes and ears, unlocks his heart, and gives himself over to meditating and striving, shaping and working, entreating and thanking, he finds himself everywhere already brought into the unconcealed. The unconcealment of the unconcealed has already come to pass whenever it calls man forth into the modes of revealing allotted to him. When man, in his way, from within unconcealment reveals that which presences, he merely responds to the call of unconcealment even when he contradicts it. Thus when man, investigating, observing, ensnares nature as an area of his own conceiving, he has already been claimed by a way of revealing that challenges him to approach nature as an object of research, until even the object disappears into the objectlessness of standing-reserve." - TQCT 18-19. (take note of the capital "t" in "that" .... )

__The it is languaged like a structure__ I have been thinking about an artist's book I made several years ago. Below are excerpts that somehow seem fitting to tomorrow's class. The title of the book is.... Third Thing Is: It should not be crushingly punitive on either you or me.

1. I just discovered it was an American tradition. Book Reports. I do them all the time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMILE_(magazine)

2. Why not use three syllables if you can. Let them proliferate. http://www.getty.edu/pacificstandardtime/explore-the-era/worksofart/every-building-on-the-sunset-strip/

3. It is great for a painting to ask, "Am I an object?" Not so much for a book. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspen_(magazine)

4. Let's have some deep thoughts about seriality. It is all connected to the nature of time.

5. That's a great question. How close is the archive to a garbage dump? Pretty close.

6. That's got some historical credibility. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_(magazine)

7. You have got to start thinking ahead ladies.

8. It is dying. Huge bits are flaking off. Just like the planets. http://blog.art21.org/2011/10/10/calling-from-canada-haute-culture-general-idea-retrospective-at-ago/

9. You look like you're efficient there with the machine. http://annareich.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/avantgarde-7577551.png

10. Are you getting all of this down? Then we will put it in the porta party. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Banana

11. Librarians have always been sexy. http://calothrix.com/whats.html

12. You can imagine what it feels like to rub up against them on the bus. http://wax-wane.com/2012/09/04/gentry-magazine-a-time-capsule/

13. Printed on exceptionally crappy paper because all of the good paper was going to make bombs. http://www.fulltable.com/vts/j/juxt/04.jpg

14. Lucky I've erased his name from my mind. But the image lingers. http://storefrontwindows.blogspot.com/2013/08/rubber-soul-picasso-gaglione-at-eve-n.html

15. Keep your eyes peeled for bullshit on the school's material list. http://bullshitmagazine.tumblr.com/

16. He told me, "Get two for swapsies!"

17. And also like God, a little hard to categorize. http://www.sararanchouse.com/legendarytext.html

18. I'm at this book fair and it's like falling into a bath of beer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dada

19. I'm English. I'll say it however I want to. http://calothrix.com/performing.html

20. 1942: this is pre-irony. 1979: Amsterdam is a small place and they are all addicted to the rubber stamp at this time.
