Hi, (about my past posts),
I was taught by my tutor that when one enters the real of narrative one
cannot rely on our comfortable conventions and impose the stigma of reality
upon
everything.
In Fragmente, Novalis stresses that if we had a "Fantastica" as we
posses a "Logica", the process of invention and creativeness would
be comprehensible.
My tutor says that , missing this, we tend to attribute a sort of
mythological
nature to creativeness and yet maintain towards the creative process itself
a highly
ambiguous and lacerating attitude (faith and skepticism).
While regarding the creative process as divine, we nourish towards it a
suspicious and alarmed attitude.
During a tutorial , we analyzed Edgar Allan Poe's poetic text, "The Crow"
which seems to condense all the problematic of creativeness.
Before starting to put things down on the blanc page, you are free to choose
subject and form, once started the first line, you are no longer free but
forced to follow up
a line of coherence with that first input.
As for poetry, the effort of the artist is primarily made towards language
itself. In poetry, my tutor says, language communicates itself. In daily
speech, it helps create communication around a given theme. That is the
reason why, my tutor says that in analyzing whatever appears in front of
you, in the form of a written text, has to be analyzed in the light of the
theory of "the possible worlds". Every novel, or narrative text organized
around a given theme for the purpose of communication (political,
sentimental, polemical, satirical, autobiographical) (even in E-mail
letters)
makes a world possible.
I shall consider the possibility to unsubscribe and go back to my
non-profit-making studies.
I shall start looking after my "persona" and make me more credible.
Yesterday, my tutor wrote me an E-mail. She said to me he fact that I am or
not credible is only relatively my problem.
I will go on with my own life. Comb my hair, wear my sandals, speak my own
language to obtain things and be understood.
The rest is narrative.
Susanne, the Iridescent
