 Excerpt:
 
 
 
 The characteristic theme of Abian's[11]  
 target=lhttp://www.elsewhere.org/pomo#fn11model of dialectic 
 construction is the difference between class and sexual
 identity. However, capitalist theory holds that the raison d'etre 
 of the
 writer is deconstruction, given that Foucault's analysis of semiotic
 discourse is valid. The subject is contextualised into a dialectic
 construction that includes sexuality as a reality. 
 
 In the works of Stone, a predominant concept is the distinction 
 betweenfigure and ground. Thus, several sublimations concerning 
 capitalist theory
 may be discovered. The subject is interpolated into a dialectic 
 constructionthat includes consciousness as a totality. 
 
 If one examines capitalist theory, one is faced with a choice: 
 either reject
 dialectic construction or conclude that consensus is a product of the
 masses. But Lacan promotes the use of semiotic discourse to attack 
 society.Foucault uses the term 'dialectic construction' to denote not
 depatriarchialism per se, but subdepatriarchialism. 
 
 It could be said that the subject is contextualised into a 
 capitalist theory
 that includes reality as a reality. Sartreist existentialism 
 states that
 sexual identity, surprisingly, has significance, but only if 
 consciousnessis equal to truth.

Re: FLUXLIST: a meop for Jack A. Withers Smote

2005-11-25 Thread JOHN BENNETT
By the way I forgot to mention that Smote is quite a recluse - I'm in touch 
with him by mail drop, but he made me promise not to reveal his address.  He 
lives (I think) in the old damp south of the US somewhere.

He used to appear frequently in The Edgar Allen Poe Messenger (no longer 
published, I'm sad to say)

His comment about the recent attention paid him on this list was: Who are 
these people?

What can I say?

 another W.S.
 
 XXIX.
 
 When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
 I all alone beweep my outcast state
 And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
 And look upon myself and curse my fate,
 Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
 Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
 Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
 With what I most enjoy contented least;
 Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
 Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
 Like to the lark at break of day arising
 From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
 For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
 That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

 Uh, it is a sonnet unless you define sonnet in strictly narrow 
 terms, as
 being only a Shakespearean or Petrarchan.  This is one of 
 Bennett'ssonnet forms, as seen by Smote.  But it's got the 14 
 lines, 3 quatrains,
 and a couplet consisting of the 2 short lines.  A fairly traditional
 sonnet in form in my book.  Bennett is getting reactionary perhaps?

Re: FLUXLIST: RUBBER BISCUIT

2004-05-07 Thread JOHN BENNETT
Fascinating!  We have horsechestnuts here in Ohio (but not the word conkers) and 
also a close native relative, called a buckeye - the nuts are identical, tho 
slightly smaller.  It is the state tree, and so anyone from Ohio is called a 
Buckeye, it is the name of the University's football team, and people wear necklaces 
of buckeyes during football season.  There's also a horribly sweet confection called 
buckeyes which is a glob of peanut butter, sweetened, partly covered with chocolate.

I like to pick up new buckeyes (the nut, not the ghastly candy nor the footballers) in 
the fall because they're nice 'n shiny and feel so smooth...

  Michael: what are conkers?
  
 Hello John,
 Well, conkers are the seeds or nut of the horse
 chestnut tree. They are found the the spikey pods that
 spill out their conkers in september if small boys
 havent thrown sticks into the trees first to knock
 them down. 
 The game of conkers started in 1845 or thereabouts
 and the two players must drill a hole through their
 conker and thread a peice of stout string through and
 tie a knot at the end so that it doesnt fall off. The
 players or combatents must take it in turns to swing
 their conker and knock it against the apponants conker
 to try and damage it and ultimately smash it into two
 pieces. Victorous conkers of two games are called
 twoers and five games fivers and so on. 
  Conkers fresh from their casings are a beautiful
 polished russet colour but soon dull and wrinkle,
 especially after a few battles! One can improve the
 look and strength by boiling in vinegar and baking in
 ovens but this is cheating as far as I'm concerned!
 Lots of websites about conker championships. Put in a
 search and see some photos of conkering in action!
 All the best, michael

FLUXLIST: Whale

2003-12-19 Thread JOHN BENNETT

Whale

blink sup foot brad thicnk
loop dug lake groan seat
spore soup huffed nag shadow
bog slung belt pocket speed
too gushed lamp fuzz heel

brake ash knock foam rat
dink smell tube luprication south
clap sped dupe wrist nick
hall labio snorted bang hell
razor stair faint pushing span

paint guzzled cloud snore bill
trace link booth scrap sell
point luff whale spreading league
rudder dope racing hop mat
cube shoulder knock itch dung

clabber sound tub rune melt
adder milk thumb lash tent
paw flipped moon sugar doubt
haw rot blank dread use
robber flag wiped anus portal

seal room crowd sinking prowl
star ladde guttered forehead pill
bug load ton sat loud
fawn sob bun grabbit cowl
lawn drink step fool switch
