Re: [NetBehaviour] 1. Re: Jerusalem Minefield 1962 and Music for Hell (Alan Sondheim)

2023-10-31 Thread Alan Sondheim via NetBehaviour
I keep thinking of _aporia_ :
"aporia
Rhetoric. the expression of a simulated or real doubt, as about where to
begin or what to do or say."
Logic, Philosophy. a difficulty encountered in establishing the theoretical
truth of a proposition, created by the presence of evidence both for and
against it.
Or: no way, nowhere to proceed, resulting (I think) in anxiety, also
difficult to define, an internal twisting/torsion/tension with no path to
proceed  (but one must keep moving / one must stay alive):
-- which is where for believers prayer comes in - and that can well lead to
darkness as well as solace --
I'm reading (the twistings and turnings of Karl Kraus) which helps as I
become entangled in tangled language in the shadow of the embryonic
Holocaust -
Or at times, reading Lamentations and meditating on long time - but then
realizing with current weaponry and communications, how short earthly time
and space have become -
Then there are local news here, a close friend now in hospital after a
serious bicycle accident (we speak to the extent we can), that highschool
friend part of a mass murder -
Sometimes I think - it's better to not know, just in order to proceed - but
procedures themselves falter -
Back to Kraus (The Third Walpurgis Night), Kristeva's Powers of Horror
again later today (I think)

Question - does art-making, email list discussions, music help you? (it
does me)

Thanks and apologies for going on here, Alan

One could not agree more, Suzon, and you put it well in your recent post
about all lives mattering, absolutely. And the care that needs to be felt
and expressed.
thank you for sharing.

As you all probably have done, I talk to friends, I listen, & read the news
about protests and demonstrations, attacks, violent incidents, which have
been streaming
out of the immediate catastrophic war territories, and the attack against
Israel now not only shadows the war in the Ukraine but also affects flows
of refugees
(from Ukraine and Russia, via Russa, via other ports, also from northern
African countries where people are migrating/fleeing other civil wars and
armed conflicts in Africa); it is hard to disentangle things.
We saw posts here on our list, asking for signing of petitions, but the
matters were not altogether clear to me, as there was reference to
genocide, and a call to stop military action in Gaza; what I did not quite
hear here and from the demonstrations (a huge one in London, others in
various cities in Germany, France, and other European countries) was a
petition to condemn Hamas's genocidal attack against Israeli citizens and
the kidnapping of innocent women, children, elderly.. holding them hostage,
and granting Israel the right to defense (the war on terror and US
reactions to 9/11 are cited in conversations, but less often is there
mentioning of non-existing so-called exit-strategies). There were many
shouts in these demonstrations about eliminating Israel "From the River to
the Sea", that's an open call to genocide, in my view, and nothing whatever
can justify this.
Suzon spoke of "being in crossed angers and polarised opinion" -- this may
be very true. But when one talks about massacres, genocide, self defense
and exit strategy, does one then realize there are no exits, or no peace
and reconciliations? We have experienced reconciliations, have we not?

respectfully
Johannes Birringer

The Figure And Its Shadow the figure and its shadow The figure

shadow: _useless writing, all of you_

the operand of labor and war: operand: "a quantity upon which a
mathematical operation is performed" the operand of the shadow /
shadow of the operand "For they can sleep when the spirits
awaken, and it is a joy to be alive." (Karl Kraus) " I can't
think well when I'm doing this, not with all the war and
hospitalizations occurring, the keillings and the lack of even
formal or fictional slavation anywhere in sight/site." not with
