   The minimalist concrete poetry site at:
  
   http://www.logolalia.com/minimalistconcretepoetry/
  
   has been updated with a new essay by Karl Kempton, VISUAL 
 POETRY: A
   Brief History of Ancestral Roots and Modern Traditions.
  
   From the Introduction, by Karl Young:
  
   In surfing the web today, you have probably passed through at
   least a
   dozen examples of word and image working together. Stated another
   way,
   you have been observing the results of prophecies and 
 examples from
   the earliest petroglyphs to the visual poets who distributed 
 their   work through the mail art network when other avenues of 
 publication   were closed to them. Given changes in 
 communications technology, it
   seems unlikely that visual poets will ever again be shoved 
 back into
   the position of the Haitian boat people of American poetry. 
 At the
   present moment, the interaction of graphics and text is so 
 pervasive   in society that you can find it in everything from 
 warehouse tracking
   systems to the most sophisticated medical diagnostic techniques.
   Given
   the now ubiquitous interrelation of word and image, it would be
   absurd
   to imagine that a new generation of poets could be kept from
   exploring
   this interface of media. And it would be tragic if their 
 predecessors   would continue to be excluded from serious 
 consideration.  
   Enjoy,
   Dan

Re: movie reviews - buñuel

2006-03-18 Thread JOHN BENNETT
The x in Mexico originated when the Spaniards couldn't pronounce the Nahuatl 
sound in that name, which is a sort of sh sound.  They also used x to 
indicate certain sounds in Arabic they couldn't pronounce - so that 
Guadalajara used to be spelled Guadalaxara .  Using an x is the older way 
of spelling these words.

Anyway I had Un Chien Andalou performed on me a few weeks ago when i got my 
eyeballs scraped smooth with a knife so i could see better.  It hurt like hell, 
but it worked:  i can see a whole lot better now.  And would like to see that 
Chien again myself.

Subject: movie reviews - buñuel

 today we are going to talk about buñuel's work. during the past 
 month i've been going through a buñuel phase.
 
 i've watched most buñuel movies available at the valencia public 
 library, although i couldn't find _un chien andaluou_, 1929 and
 _l'âge d'or_, 1930, which i had already seen a long time ago.  i 
 had probably seen these pieces before because i am a snob and an
 intellectualoide, although it might also be due to the fact that 
 i'm european.
 
 i've been watching:
 _los olvidados_, 1950
 _viridiana_, 1961
 _belle de jour_, 1967
 _tristana_, 1970
 _ensayo de un crimen_, 1955
 _el ángel exterminador_, 1962
 _le charme discret de la bourgeoisie, 1972
 
 although i still have much left to see, i have concluded that his 
 work differs from time to time.
 
 -some keywords are:
 *surrealism
 *sade
 *dreams
 *abject
 *poverty
 *mexico**
 *méxico**
 *méjico**
 *france
 *españa
 
 
 -some key words are:
 .oneiric world
 .social realism
 .social critique
 .ancient regime
 .the 20s
 .the 30s
 .the 50s
 .the 60s
 .the 70s
 .the bells (the sound of bells on moving animals)
 .folk tales
 .folk remembrances
 .death
 .self sacrifice
 
 
 -also, my partner and i had a problem watching _el ángel 
 exterminador).  I think the problem was that we were tired at the 
 end of
 the day, to watch such a movie. however, perhaps was due to both: 
 either we were as tired as the people in the movie who appear to
 go through an immobility-fatigue-somnolence spell, or the 
 characters of the movie transmitted us their sleepy feelings 
 through a
 tele-dvd tele-pathy.
 
 
 
 ** while mexicans (from mexico) write the name of their country as 
 'méxico' but pronounce it
 'méjico,' spanish (from spain) write the name of mexico as 
 'méjico.'  mexicans don't like that we, spanish, write it just as 
 it is
 pronounced.

 miss (something or
 someone). The problem is that to have saudade is to miss someone or
 something that can be not lost at all. There is a word reputed to 
 be a fair
 translation in German - sennsucht - but it involves the meaning 
 fild of
 search for something whereas miss may mean something that was

The thing to do is to play around with these techniques in order to learn a 
kind of diction.

and then to write directly out of your head in that diction.

this creates not only real poetry (or whatever) but truly changes the 
language (or changes it more or in directions you have directed to some extent)

The crazy wisdom thing is definitly my path and i do recall that there are 
some Japanese zenists who had that approach in mind (or in no mind) but I 
don't know what school they came from.  I'm not much of a zen scholar, just 
crazy.

Subject: Re: Fudge

 Trungpa's version of Buddhism, Crazy Wisdom, allowed for his
 drinkingas part of its revisionary approach to Western
 preconceptions of
 Buddhism as quiet, hushed, ascetic.  On one level, Crazy Wisdom is
 intriguing, as it tries to achieve a state of mind both unatmed and
 awakened -- feral and mindful all at once.  But, yes, Trungpa also was
 an alcoholic; and the infamous 1976 attack by Trungpa's followers on
 Merwin and Dana Naone also says a lot about the limits of Crazy
 Wisdom.I'm not sure how much (if any) of Crazy Wisdom is
 assimilated in the
 current Shambhala practice that grew out of Trungpa's teachings.  My
 sense, from limited experience with Shambhala practice, is that
 it, too,
 works within a context of vows against intoxication.  But of course,
 there's a difference between drinking and being intoxicated.

 My background and training is Mahayana, with its own vows against
 intoxication.  But in the Tantric framework of certain Mahayana
 traditions, anything on earth can be a vehicle for diminishing
 attachment to desire -- even desire itself.  So the vows would be
 guidesrather than strict prohibitions.  Drinking, then, could be
 as much a
 part of the path as anything else (as odd as that could sound).
 Perhapsthis does make some traditions of Mahayana relaxed about
 drinking.

  drinker, also.

  Oh ho sing mystic all the day bards!
 
  Here's the deal:
 
  Take a favorite (or despised or cliche) holiday-connected phrase and
  do a homolinguistic translation of it.
 
  Send me the original phrase, your homolinguistic translation of that
  phrase, and your snail mail address, by email, by December 1st.
 
  I will put each translation onto the picture side of a
 postcard, and
  place the original phrase as the title on the address side, along
  with your name as author.
 
  Then, I'll print up as many sets are there are participants and mail
  complete sets to all the participants (postmarked) by December
  7th--hopefully that will put them in everyone's hands in enough time
  to be useful for your holiday card mailing needs.
 
  How fun does that sound?

 FOUND PHOTOS 2005
 
 Selected from an abandoned photo album found in 2005 along the 
 train 
 tracks in Albany, CA. The photos in the album were heavily soiled, 
 scratched, faded, waterlogged, sun-damaged, nature-infiltrated, 
 etc. 
 The content of the photos appeared to be that of a dog show. I 
 performed some cropping and minimal digital processing on the 
 photos, 
 mainly to enhance what was already there.
 
 I’ve made high-quality prints from these works, which range from 
 8x10” 
 to 12x18”. The original size for all photos was 3x5”.

I recognize a couple of these.  I use OCLC almost every day - it's the Online 
College Library Catalog or something close, a massive international union 
catalog that's more than just college libraries.

Subject: BUSH POOP

 Police in Germany are hunting pranksters who have been sticking
 miniature flag portraits of US President George W. Bush into piles of
 dog poo in public parks. Josef Oettl, parks administrator for Bayreuth
 said, This has been going on for about a year now, and there must be
 2,000 to 3,000 piles of excrement that have been claimed during that
 time.
