thanks...
a few words on polarization into the mental or
hyperintellectualism --
i was lucky enoug hto be in a rock band called ABANDON
EARTH (which not to brag is now the name of my
mockumentary about rock in the nineties, still seeking
help!)
Bill, the second guitarist was a linguistics major at
the University of pennsylvania and i was an acid head
club kid who could sing and they needed a singer. (we
were all acid heads. the dead flowed through every
summer and the neighborhood dosed.)
Bill was into Deleuze and Guattari and introduced me to
ANTIOEDIPUS. i will say this as someone who opted after
h. s. graduation to go to university later in life when
i was done learning about things -- i will never read
all of capitalism and Schizophrenia. But I grokked the
context. I am not a cowardly intellect but there is such
a thing as being inundated, being saturated. i am just
an anarchist, a hold out from the eighties who is
disgusted by capitalism. Deleuze and Guattari - just
having the barest understanding -- add fuel to the fire
of my arguments and give me a reason not to sell oyutand
give up like many who i knew in the eighties who have
given up on anarchism in much the same way as most
Hippies gave up on their ideas and ideals -- like my
former Hippie parents.
i have gotten tired of talking to the people in a
Deleuze group i am a member of and couldn'[t moderate --
because it would be too much reading. name
dropping...name dropping -- Capitalism DOES create
schizoid and psychotic breaksa speople forget who they
are and what they wanted whenthey were young in pursuit
of the almighty "piece of worthless paper" - as they
complain about government and yet expect that same
government to reliquish power without intelectual and
heartfelt presentation of alternative they manifest as
ultimatley fragmented and schizoid -- and there we see
the genius of men like D&G -- even if the result is that
they leave behind a vapor trail of prattling
hyperintellectuals who can't really seem to make a
coment without mentioning foucault, deleuze...
this what i am doing here -- this is neither flame nor a
rant. i am not angry with anyone on this list1
I am expressing opinion. I have read that Artaud, my
ghostly mentor, hated the mis-en-scene, hated actors,
hated plays and theater. i don't know. i am just a
hack compared to him.
But there is such a thing as hyperintellectualizing. Is
it the western mind -- that almost always (hold on)
vacillates between milquetaost and macho man and is
thusly imbalanced and can't find a harmonious middle
ground?
people do so. each day. a lot of us are artists.
i still don't know really what 'diegesis' means. i will
probably kill a few braincells with beer trying to
figure it out. but i appreciate that people who are
obviously in the academic world (i am waiting) can
filter down some of what they have learned to a street
punk blesed enough to be literate.
anyway...
