"if you think childlike, you'll stay young. If you keep your energy going, and do everything with a little flair, you're gunna stay young. But most people do things without energy, and they atrophy their mind as well as their body. you have to think young, you have to laugh a lot, and you have to have good feelings for everyone in the world, because if you don't, it's going to come inside, your own poison, and it's over" Jerry Lewis "I don’t believe in the irreversibility of situations" Deleuze
The numerical citations refer to page number. The source's text-space (including footnote region) is divided into four equal portions, a, b, c, d. If the citation is found in one such section, then for example it would be cited p.15c. If the cited text lies at a boundary, then it would be for example p.16cd. If it spans from one section to another, it is rendered either for example p.15a.d or p.15a-d. If it goes from a 'd' section and/or arrives at an 'a' section, the letters are omitted: p.15-16.
I love this! the title the metaphor picture idea. it's already a metaphor_ as it were_ a concept conceiving? or what's the word a concept in inception rather. the title rich in reference each word abundant with connotation from the first word _Kennedy_ one asks does he mean that old president? and then Metaphor in Pictures itself in quotes is suggestive of a poetry of parenthesis and pause? followed by partial summary! ah partial! another laden word / Can something which is partial be a summary? one thinks of partial objects, and bodies without organs, and the suggestiveness of some of these ideas expressed in A/O antioedipus. And finally the last word all upper cased
ReplyDeleteFORTHCOMING as in a movie that hasnt been released yet but is coming soon to a theatre) near your (and how closer than one's mind?)mind metaphor changing becomings forth to go and come partial summary metaphorical picturing reading Kennedy (dead kennedys?) or some philosopher only the author knows of ? what haiku of inception and reception for the reader's delight O metamorphoses! O planes of intensity.
We read and write in scraps and pieces of our partial amnesiac aphasias thirsting for an Outside that frees from our bodies creating ever fresh lines of flight light lines of deterritorialization.
a little riff sent this late night across the beams and territories of earth and sky,a poem of perception and the partial objects of desire a feather-weight inthe sun of reading and writing an ever ongoing discourse that reaches further into what we become to make things happen? improvise a word contiguous to promise.
ReplyDeletedelays of reading and desire machine/where the blog and the text end and start? a new machine which we're not sure yet it's meaning in the larger scheme of things. and the "blogosphere" itself a fibrillating thing whose shape and sense has changed over these last 14 years.
ReplyDeleteThanks Clifford! You made this place-holding post into something all its own! You caught it before I put the actual post in, because I decided in the end to do a full summary and not just a partial one. So there was a delay. It is a very fun essay about how images can present literary tropes. Your response to this post reminds me a little of how I felt when I read your poem 18 rivers on Recall. http://recalltopoetry.blogspot.com.tr/2016/07/18-rivers.html
DeleteI was very moved by it, but I did not know how to put my response into words. I will still try to do a post on it if I can.
