imho it is because it twists the conversation violently into a field
which has been de-territorialized often. it was also freaky for me
because it proved (at least to me) that there is no escaping from
benjamin and his genious observation made in the forties. i also used
the word "freaky" to gather reading momentum for something which was
simply "curious" in order to convey my awe at the 'return to benjamin'
moment.
just an intensifier of surprise!
cheers

and, in a freaky twist, we are thrown back to the
basics of cultural
anaylisis by reaching Walter Benjamin's "The work of art..." and its
'denouncing' of editing and time-manipulation as purveyors of a
DIFFERENT type of 'art', totally divorced from theatre.
why, pray, is that freaky
