Barry I was being jokey!!:-) But a truck version could be good I must try 'recontextualization' of one of my poems with trucks Cheers P recontextualizationed P -----Original Message----- From: Poetryetc provides a venue for a dialogue relating to poetry and poetics [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Barry Alpert Sent: 05 October 2006 19:29 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Snap Jouvet's Tosca Patrick, I can understand why the opening word "truck" might lead you to believe that the film during which I wrote down those 4 lines (and 2 outtakes) was a road movie focused on a travelling production of Puccini's opera Tosca, but the original speaker meant "to engage with" and I continue that usage in my recontextualization. Whatever speaker(s) might be construed from the 4 lines shouldn't be identified with either the director or me, though I can imagine the last line exiting my mouth, either with or without the comma, in another circumstance. Benoit Jouvet didn't want to make a filmed opera, and he distances the spectator by cutting away to black & white video of the sound recording session and grainy color video location shots in Rome. The opera itself was staged in a large studio in Cologne. No trucks or moving vans ever appear on screen.
