“Badiou’s Paul, with his emphasis on the inescapable, non-contingent imposition of a new symbolic order within the religious Event, is so Lacanian he might as well have asked St. Peter for his co-pay 10 minutes into the Council of Jerusalem.”

I had a conversation with a guy at a thing last Friday about John Keel. I claimed (perhaps in poor taste) that Keel was in his own way for US postmodernity as Schreber was for German modernity (qua Santner). While briefly talking about Keel’s themes and fixations, the guy said “that sounds a lot like Philip K. Dick” which is a good point too.
Anyway it got me thinking about my...
Apparently Bobby Crystal was in blackface at the Oscars, I’m astonished Tumblr wasn’t already all over this.

I’m thinking about how to organize some thoughts on a paper I’ll be writing over the next couple of months. I know what I want to write about but I’m not sure how to approach it— that is, without slipping into either appropriation, reductivity, clinical abstraction, or reification.

“Colonial syllogism

No more drunkards!????
I wish I was a cool dude translating Tibullus instead of some dumb asshole. I’m reading the thing Chain Links just put out, Somatic Engagement and it’s really good. It’s helping me figure out a paper I’m writing, but still. I want to throw all the stuff I write into a furnace and just translate some fucking Latin in hell forever.
I found myself writing the sentence “At this point, it becomes necessary to deploy some of Zizek’s own moves against him.” Time to take a long hard look at why I deserve to continue living.
I refuse to capitalize what Badiou wants me to capitalize.
Basically the ultimate badass.

“Badiou’s position is that although the universal order has the status of a semblance, from time to time, in a contingent and unpredictable way, a ‘miracle’ can happen in the guise of a truth-Event that deservedly shames a postmodernist skeptic”
I still think Badiou is sort of a dope but I can work with this.
Abu Hamid on Colored Snow
Beyond these rivers and mountains, there is aland, several days’ journey away, where there is snow of red, white and blue and other colours. Ships are filled with it, and it is taken downriver to Bulghar. The distance from Saqsin to Bulghar is forty days.

Abu Hamid on Sturgeon
In this river are a number of kinds of fish that I have never seen in any other part of the world. There is one kind which weighs as much as a large man and another sort that weighs as much as a large camel. There are smaller ones, too. They have no bones or skulls, and no teeth; they are like the fat tail of a sheep stuffed with chicken. They are even better and sweeter than fat lamb. This fish...

That’s always your excuse..
I really am super nervous and abject about the possibility that I’m really fucking boneheaded and shitty about male privilege in my poems, and that when I try to “trouble it” or whatever I’m really just making an ass out of myself and making a public nuisance. How can I efface what’s phallogocentric in my writing? How can I “get rid of” my “shitty...

That’s a pretty bad sentence, but somatic subjectivity is way crucial in a lot of poetics. Here’s a quote from DiPietra and Leto’s Waveform, which is recent but already kind of a thing within disability poetics:

I got a really good email from Brian Teare about some of the ethics stuff I wanted to be careful about in writing about Schreber, and now I’m totally uncertain about what I want my thesis to be, what I even want to make of Schreber and Porete and why. Lots to think about, not a lot of time to think. Hm hm hm.

It’s tumblr, bro. Who’s gonna run you out for watching Dr Who? If anything they’ll throw you a .gif parade, and probably invite the cast of Sherlock as well.

No matter how long I stay out of the Church
interruptions:
the language of the Book of Common Prayer and the KJV still never lose their hold on me. In my email inbox today, from the church I attended as a small child, is the old prayer for the departed:
