[note april dead cruelty war lilacs]

april is the cruellest month
breeding lilacs out of dead ground

--[[ts eliot , (year aound world war one ? )]]

but imagine world war 5, you have molten melted metal grey as [the day
after][a movie about post nuvclear scenario 80's] everywhere
your stomach and brain and consciousness is [feels] like an
over-diagnosed]&[drugged patient in a psychatric ward or worse on the
street/under a bridge breathing shallowly with rapid pulse overlooking
the smoky metallic plain which adds to your feeling of the letterally []
practically [] naturalistically [] burnt out human condition, simply
toxicidic acidic cutting burning thru your feeling][vision of
individuality ecolohumanigicaly.

call me what you will and I agree with you, april lilacs tulips lotuses
daisies will appear in complete pessimistic deadly living suspense] [at
that ^ moment.

[in Ullysses Gaze [movie] the concert after in srebrenica [?] was too
fancy moving but fancy.]

lets not give it names. derrida does talk about spirit.action
[de-constr-action], ok. spirit of marxism
gadamar too phantasmically phenomenologically surrounded in murky
bordered future hermeneutics and ultimately modern pessimistic ::
unacceptable!

these are judgements like a court's, a statement, having no relation to
any truth,
but tryings to suscirumspect what happens between places like ::

:: [being] and [time] -heideggers burden-

:: [earth where lilacs grow] and [sky where cognitions and and decisons
are humanly processed].

I no longer worry about language

Hi:

Poetry for me is the art to make new connections, unsuspected
connections that pre-exists in reality, but the social grid where we are
trapped, don't let us see this potentialities, because the force of
habit leads us to the old same place. In our mind are a grid of
concepts, that defines what a certain object means, what signified
correspond to a certain significant. That's the structure of the
recognized system of meaning: language frames that's identity. Trough
this frames, we see our world. Gadamer in "Hermeneutics" called this
preconceptions, a preconceive reality that's only exists in our own
minds. Now, poetry wrangles this connections between concepts: poetry
don't accept the established relations between thought objects. In
poetry, the unforeseen is the rule. Un Coup de Des jamais n'abolira le
hasard. The title of Stephane Mallarme, also the theme from a Man Ray
film, resume the work of the art: the unsuitable, the unseasonably and
sudden transition from the preconceive idea, to a real image that
happening like a revelation of something, for the first time. A process
where are playing two factors: deconstruction and construction,
construction and deconstruction, the factors order are irrelevant. The
accident suffered by The Large Glass of Duchamp could be a good exemple
of the unsuitable in art. After the accident, the fractures of the
broken glass on Duchamp work, becoming parts of her work in a natural
way.

About war, in my manner of thinking, it's only a way to a economical
end. The link between freedom and deconstruction it's broken in the
logic of war! Also in war, there's destruction, not deconstruction. The
last proposition it's not a simple game of words: destruction represents
a dead tantalization, deconstruction it's referent of dead as
interstices voids of reality, like in a chess game, where the empty
places of the board, allows to play and move the chess-pieces. So, dead
have a positive side, when dead makes possible the transition, from one
state of things to another. The process of conscience work that way: you
die to a thought, to live to a new thought. But the face of Occidental
man, made by the totalitarian grid of the same, it's a face of dead. And
the Occidental territory, have the resemblance of a desert! The desert
grows, then, art need deconstruct the usual connections, to interpret
the signs of the power language. William Greider, the author of Who Will
Tell the People, already had declared that we are in a pre-fascist
state. Deconstruction of the winners speech, it would be a task for a
positive construction.
About Derrida, he speaks about a apocalyptic tone in Occidental
Philosophy. He said: the apocalypse will never comes. It's only a way of
speech, a startling tone of voice assumed by the Occidental Philosophy.
And through the Philosophy History, there are a errantly thought that
assumes many perspectives, transversely, like a journey through time,
but the journey never ends. However, the apocalypse sustains to it self
as the future that cannot be. In process, transversely, many things are
living and are dying, and the apocalyptic end recognized by the fascist
power, the total destruction and dead, it cannot happen. Because the
accidents of the process, the tension relations between actuality and
potentiality, immanent to the social grid, never will consent that! It
will be a evolution, to where, we don't know! Future will arrive to us,
in a shape of hallucinations, phantoms, mirages. For me, literature
might catch this impressions, like signs from future to decipher them.
So, the original face of humanity, it's much more what humanity can be,
(on present, only inhuman potentialities), than humanity was in the
past.

RE: RHIZOME_SUPERUSING: complimentary


hello

I must admit I can't see clearly through the issue to my own
satisfaction. the suggestion was intended to make things simpler /for
everyone.

The way cooperatives work seems to be a model: anyone can become a
member (whatever the criteria for this may be: interest, small fee,
living in a certain area, profession..), then there are paid managers &
staff, then volunteer managers and staff and then non-members who
utilize services off & on. the hierarchy is unavoidable. some orgs try
to tackle this head-on and devise elaborate procedures to level the
ground for everyone. its always elaborate /almost never simple.

In an age of fees, and self-reflection, we must ask ourselves the
question: what is a superuser? super-user, super peruser of [Raw],
super-v-iser of [Art+Text], eavesdropper of noise, steward of
information, body without organ, a rhizomic spirit with function ..

lets ask our experts in rhizomiconomics in rhizomicity rachel and feisal
about their views on selection and comlimentary behavior.

cheers

it does make some sense... but at the same time i'm
uneasy about the kind of hierarchy that's set up. i
mean, is anyone able to be a superuser if they want to
be? i'm not saying that a system of preferences is
bad, but determining "complimentary access" for
selected people seems strange. i don't know, maybe
it's not... most other non-profits i've worked
for/with had similar volunteer privileges, though
being a volunteer was not a very selective process.
?
best, ryan

>dear rhizomers, superusers, and countrymen

I suggest superuers should get complimentary access
for contributing.
please second me.

thanks and best wishes.
long live the rhizome!
