Childhood home of David Bohm
Childhood home of David Bohm Childhood home of David Bohm, Wilkes-Barre, PA (my hometown as well). David lived above the furniture store in the photograph. A next-door neighbor told us that the store had been resold in the early 50s to someone currently living in Mountaintop. I don't know if the current owner is related. We were also told that the building next to the furniture store was a combination house and mission; the former built in 1847, and the mission at the beginning of the 20th century. The front porch has been enclosed because the neighborhood has become dangerous, and the stained-glass windows in the surrounding houses have been stolen; his are now behind an outer wall. The furniture store is at 410 Hazel St. Bohm is one of the originators of the theory of hidden variables in quantum mechanics; he had a large effect on Bell, among others. His work on the implicate order continues to influence, and the work he was engaged on before he died, prespace, is still at the forefront of QM research.

LESLIE THORNTON RETROSPECTIVE
Please note - this should be absolutely excellent! - Alan LESLIE THORNTON RETROSPECTIVE Anthology Film Archives www.anthologyfilmarchives.org PROGRAM 1: The Archive Thursday, September 15 at 8:00 PROGRAM 2: Early Works and Collaborations Friday, September 16 at 8:00 PROGRAM 3: A Quest Saturday, September 17 at 6:00 PROGRAM 4: PEGGY AND FRED IN HELL: End in New World Sunday, September 18 at 6:00 Program Summaries: I started watching experimental films at the Unitarian Church in Schenectady, New York when I was fifteen. Then I went to college and had the extreme good fortune of taking classes with, well not really classes, but I got to listen to a lot of the great filmmakers boast and argue about their work -- Frampton, Brakhage, Sharits, Kubelka, Godard, Leacock. By the time I started making films (I was painting) I figured those guys had opened up a lot of space, but that I wanted to go someplace completely different, to deal more with the surprising world. I was drawn to the filmmakers who could dig into emotional states and tell stories differently, or tell different kinds of stories, such as the Kuchars, Warhol, Ken Jacobs, Yvonne Rainer, Alan Sondheim, the surrealists. I was very interested in textures of speech and gesture, in-and-of-themselves, like an anthropologist of our own culture. Early on I realized that I wanted each film to be like a new leap into the abyss. --L.T. Leslie will be on hand for a QA after each program, will present a surprise from her personal archive at every show. PROGRAM 1: The Archive Almost all of Thornton^s work includes archival footage used in a very distinctive way. I want to spark the imagination into sensing something of a past, while at the same time giving a place for the images to have a full, awesome present. Not to privilege the past, but to experience wonder that it exists, like looking at stars. --L.T.

Subjects include portraits of eccentrics, dying and faith in art; collaborations are with Ron Vawter, the Wooster Group, and others.

The program includes her groundbreaking feature-video, Unseen Cloud... and excerpts from an ongoing project entitled The Great Invisible, in which she digs deeper into Eberhardt^s story and into her ecstatic, yet devious relation with Islam.

[imitationpoetics] Literary Narcissism and the Manufacture of Scandal (fwd)

Others will dispute the Narcissist because they are so profoundly appalled by his/her behavior. Either way, the economy of attention is fueled. * The Narcissist needs Catastrophe. The more internal crises of shame the Narcissist endures and fails to heed, the more s/he will need to create external Catastrophes. A chief and signal way a Narcissist might attract attention is to start fights: Narcissists will gravitate toward satire and caricature as a means of creating argument. The Narcissist will attempt to construe strife with health: These arguments need to happen, etc. * The Narcissist IS fascinating -- but not for the reasons the Narcissist thinks.

Alcoholism is a systematic way to push down socially regulating emotions like shame, guilt, and embarrassment at one's own self-aggrandizing behavior. The suppression of these emotions is never successful, even in the most energetic of self-aggrandizers, and they will periodically burst upward into brief displays of remorse and convictions to change. These brief spouts of regulatory behavior are sometimes shared publicly and sometimes privately among confidants. These displays however can often easily be re-used by the Narcissist as a way of showing his/her authenticity and emotional fealty to the community. * The Narcissist is aware of the economy of disgust surrounding his/her behavior. S/he becomes more and more sensitive to this and consequently begins to demand private declarations of loyalty from those people whom s/he knows consider themselves friends -- even if they have said nothing publicly against the Narcissist. * The Narcissist, aware of this disgust, will create a personal mythos in which s/he will be justified and exonerated by the rewards of literary history. The stronger the disgust of others, the greater the energy used to maintain the mythos of exoneration by history. * Narcissists are only interested in community so long as it pays dividends to their energy: they will support it if it feeds them. * The narcissist may outright demand in private that you pay him publicly with praise. Then he or she will publicly repay you with a communal mention. * In their attempt to cause others to adopt their self-fascination, Narcissists will become increasingly paranoiac, constantly searching the environment and community for news of themselves, for fealty or disloyalty. * The Literary Narcissist begins purposefully to conflate criticism of his social behavior into an indication of his/her literary worth. That is to say, the Narcissist will try to show that the reason others despise or are disgusted by him is in fact because he or she is a Rebel, a true Literary Revolutionist -- and that the statements of disgust others publicly make at his behavior is merely an indication of (a) their necessary denial of the work because they are threatened by it, or (b) their jealousy of the work. * There comes a point -- and the point may come early -- where the community thinks to itself teapot and the Narcissist still hears tempest. The truly insular narcissist (aka the boor) will be met more and more with shunning, ignoring and silence. This will wrest the narcissist from his insularity -- such that he will begin another project designed to create Genuine Interest instead of mere scandalous attention. This project, like a new comet's head, will be followed by a long tail of manufactured scandal so as to call attention to its presence in the literary sky. --- You are currently subscribed to imitationpoetics as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To read this list on-line or change your settings, go

Re: [imitationpoetics] Literary Narcissism and the Manufacture of Scandal (fwd)
I don't have anything original to add to this, but there has been quite a discussion surrounding this article in other contexts, especially the Kent Johnson, Jim Behrle Blog/List skirmishes at New Poetics and Lucipo. Their archives are public. The issue seems perhaps even playfully central in KJ's new book _Adventures in Poetry Blogland: Four Letters, Two Conference Reports, One Interview, A Recipe, and a Pair of Plays_ if not questionably in some of his recent online behavior ie, the recent K. Silem Mohammad row. (no final judgements suggested). Nick Piombino had an ongoing meditation on Narcissism (general, cultural) on his blog for awhile (quite awhile ago) which may be of interest. I believe somewhere Gabe has said this piece is coming out of some research surrounding Naropa, and some interesting things have come out with reference to that particular example, but please don't quote me. Anything which takes its name from the classical age / Myths must be a fairly fascinating topic, (at least for me) even when dealing with something as seemingly mundane (if colorful) as 'literary scandals'. lq Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.
