Séminaire
Un matérialisme de la rencontre en questions


La pensée française du vivant au dix-huitième siècle est assaillie par le difforme et les monstres. Dans cette autre philosophie naturelle sans norme ni fin, qui refuse l'antagonisme entre mécanismes et vitalismes, le contenu le plus approché que l'on pourrait donner à l'idée de matière serait celui d'un équilibre métastable, né d'une mémoire élémentaire des particules ou " molécules ", disséminant des structures affinitaires dont les rencontres forment des unités aléatoires, relatives et provisoires. Si l'interrogation philosophique sur le statut du monstre est son point d'appui, elle s'étend à d'autres paradigmes, du biologique au politique. Lors des séminaires des années précédentes, nous avons tenté d'en explorer quelques aspects, en particulier dans l'œuvre de Diderot. Quelle conscience philosophique ne manifesterait pas sa stupéfaction face à l'alternative ainsi imposée : du côté de l'ontologie de la substance, plus il y a de permanence et de forme, plus il y a de savoir et de sens ; du côté d'une phénoménologie de l'événement, plus il y a d'accidentalité et de force, plus on risque la perte du savoir et du sens ? La force de l'événement, du singulier, du divers, n'est-elle pas l'idée d'un pouvoir qui s'exprime au travers d'un déficit de forme ? Un rendez-vous manqué et néanmoins saisissant, autour d'une commune métaphore, celle du jeu de dés, rendez-vous manqué entre les penseurs du vivant au temps des Lumières et les textes qu'Althusser écrivit autour des années 1980 nous incite à réfléchir à nouveaux frais à la signification du rôle du matérialisme dans cette problématique. La liste déconcertante que propose Althusser, réunissant à ses yeux les tenants du courant souterrain de la rencontre, peut-elle être, au moins partiellement, éclaircie ? Faut-il voir dans le " rien " althussérien l'écho du " rien " diderotien, l'un et l'autre régis par un seul transcendantal : la métamorphose ?

a tongue of debouchement and river

My imagination grows when I read Vico as it doesn't when I read Freud or Jung. - Joyce
'Are you yung and easily freudened?'



'What clashes here of wills gen wonts, oystrygods gaggin fishy-
gods! Brékkek Kékkek Kékkek Kékkek! Kóax Kóax Kóax! Ualu Ualu Ualu! Quaouauh!'


p4 Finnegans Wake

Finnegans Wake
the title is in the plural non
possessive
the collective
dispossessed

the multi
clables
as Joyce
puts it

as th mouths


of many rivers meet so do their hundreds of names. the great comedy unfolds. loads and loafs of becoming. becoming this and that and everthingelse inbirtween. mister inburrtweens. ShemShaun and the 'whole blodyn whorld.'
-----------------------------------------------------------------

a writer's life is a map of a world thus:

a writer 's life becomes a teaching: a form telling us about a milieu that otherwise would not perhaps be seen, and discussed in the same manner:

Rossanda was born in Pula (or, in Italian, Pola), on the Istrian peninsula,
where Joyce taught for a number of months before settling in nearby
Trieste. In her memoir, she observes that the authorities do not know
whether to write ‘Pola, Italia’ or ‘Pola, Croazia’ on her passport: they
cannot establish her nationality. Bettiza compares his own complex
family history to Rossanda’s:
It struck me that Rossanda’s Istrian father spoke Italian, German, and Serbo-
Croat like my Dalmatian father; that both took their degrees in Vienna; that
both had been irredentists; that both had served during the First World War in
the Austro-Hungarian army, trying not to shoot Italians.


_____________ So the map reconstituted om the basis of his wanderings
and works as in Ulysses shows what we had not seen previously.
So we are differences . Humped and gettwogethered in. Love's sweep ouldsang. Sung the ripe of Gully 30th.


______________________ Ah, the ghaship of agrape riders liphe ~


According to Richard Ellmann's biography James Joyce (rev.1982), Pola was 'a queer old place' to Nora, 'a back-of-God-speed place,' in fact, 'a naval Siberia' to Joyce (186).

But which stories do you mean, he said; and what fault do you find with them?

A fault which is most serious, I said; the fault of telling a lie, and, what is more, a bad lie.

'But what if there are no gods? or, suppose them to have no care of human things --why in either case should we mind about concealment?

And even if there are gods, and they do care about us, yet we know of them only from tradition and the genealogies of the poets;

( What poet lies dear Platon? Does a poet lye to eat
he shall for his bacon her daily bread)
(Alie alie alay alay a lyre)




and these are the very persons who say that they may be influenced and turned by 'sacrifices and soothing entreaties and by offerings.'


Sacrifice and lie. Torment of the doomed. The poet carries
a lyre. Home is alyre. Orpheus tell tale. Tell me no Tale.
A curtail sonnet. A curtaled sonnet _ a bonnet . We are
far from the old greek(s). We are atheist ? of joy?

Let us be consistent then, and believe both or neither.


If the poets speak truly, why then we had better be unjust, and offer of the fruits of injustice; for if we are just, although we may escape the vengeance of heaven, we shall lose the gains of injustice; but, if we are unjust, we shall keep the gains, and by our sinning and praying, and praying and sinning, the gods will be propitiated, and we shall not be punished. 'But there is a world below in which either we or our posterity will suffer for our unjust deeds.'

Yes, my friend, will be the reflection, but there are mysteries and atoning deities, and these have great power.


That is what mighty cities declare; and the children of the gods, who were their poets and prophets, bear a like testimony.

and about desire __
"lack and desire: In a tradition that reaches from Plato to Lacan and beyond, desire has been understood as negative, abyssal, a lack at the level of ontology itself (this was most clearly articulated in Hegel's understanding of the lack [of the object] of desire being the necessary condition for the maintenance of desire), a lack in being that strives to be filled through the (impossible) attainment of an object. Lacan calls this lack un manque-à-être a "want-to-be" (or a wannabe ?) For Georg Simmel, "the possibility of desire is the possibility of objects of desire." (The Philosophy of Money, p. 66) For Simmel enjoyment is a unity similar to the state prior to the differentiation of subject and object. With the observation that "our mind has a remarkable ability to think of contents as being independent of the act of thinking, he observes that "In desiring what we do not yet own or enjoy, we place the content of our desire outselves....We desire objects only if they are not immediately given to us for our use and enjoyment; that is, to the extent that they resist our desire." Value is characterized by this separation, which takes the form of a claim or demand. The purpose of establishing a distance is that it should be overcome. Withdrawal and approach are the two sides of our relationship to objects, which we call subjectively our desire and objectively their value. For Simmel, aesthetic value is the most complete projection of our feelings. "The content of the feeling is, as it were, absorbed by the object and confronts the subject as something which has autonomous significance, which is inherent in the object." (p.73)

I love the great reactionary writers. the great reactionary writers who. don't smoke. dont drink.

yet drink and drink water water. more water. think of Genet. never drank.O he smoked. so that made him Half-Reactionary. which is as beautiful. half a reaction is better than none at all....generally the reactive writers are crazy. quilt makers as Celine states again and again. the eloquence of their language . is excellence.
lots of them go off the rails
Pound, take Ezra
he went right off the rails
yet
whenever I read him
I become a better writer
just reading
him

Think of Bardamu's mad gallop off into the zones of everywhere africa, america,, anywhere away from the war| that millions ran to Join a Summertime romp they thought:a gallop to beat the "fritzies" O how they buried that fancy and the war that was the event of the of dada's coming to fore __________________________________________________________________________________


But Celine? makes you better? Not the same, because we are reading the book at several removes.. ah, the old problem, between seeing the 'thing itself' think of those Raphael paintings never seen by other painters except half way through the dim light of reproduction.. ...


Yers, yes, yes, yers ludic ideas of excellence what does it add up a mad voyage across the man made flight lines.

' reactionary of Course is line of flight in France the smelly stinky assin the head latindescartian stuffed lingo of the cacadademieeeee francaaaaaasizzzzzzzzz.|


what is it? in france, they tend to go more beserk over changes in their precious language, because its already so strict. so tied up... yes, Compare the polemic in English poetry say of WordsWorth Coleridge and others to that of Rimbaud Baudelaire, Laforgue, Mallarme, in france, I mean yes, the changes come but they are not Announced with the same violence....


it is because english is already more flexible, more supple, less prone to syntactical rigidity...

sweeps across its own plains always.... everywhich way I think Joyce says in the Wake... Joyce does not wa nt to make a universal language he wants to dream the world...a becoming dream world... the great conscious surrealist project... out did the surrealists at their own game....



I dont think Celine ever read Joyce and had he , well its different temperament... Joyce is Joy ... affirmation, Literature is the great affirmation. So he calls in the guise of Daedalus, the greatest of the arts..... Oh Im not saying french has not changed broken up shattered moved into a thousand positions, but it seems almost inherent to the whole of French sensibility to be contained within the stricter confines of its own buried epistemology...



Beckett moved back and forth traversed between the french and english....
yes,
and he said that Ulysses was still the book

above all books...
When you look at this interview with LF Celine,listen, to his voice, his voice, says it all, the hesitation, the coming,back, and forth, the little doubts between phrases, yet pervaded by a certainty, of the achieved work_ he speaks a staccato not a roupy staccato, (like his famous wild dogs) but a pausing, syncopated kind of jazzy one, he steps here (with his voice) takes a few steps, dances over a few rocks, whoah, pauses, breath, rattles off again, a brush stroke, as it were, of voice tympanum ... and this is the man who has written these books of force, and sure breath, powered by great ellipses, and the rushing over breath passing over thousands of words, le voyeur voyant___ Eric Ostrovsky calls him the great Voyeur Voyant... and indeed indeed...

his works are "finished" in a similar way that Joyce's works are finished.... say in contrast to Kafka's... and Miler, well Celine had nothing but contempt for Miller, its funny~
All these writers, paying homage to him, he snorted at them! Miller, pah,
Burroughs, pah, he scoffed at them, scorned their unfinished qualities..he like to compare himself to Breughal Goya, and near the end, Mostly Bosch, yes, Celine with his great clawed writing hand, a virtual Mitt! slabbed over the page.... he would have nothing but contempt for what I write... as well, he'd dismiss me as a madman, yet, he shared
more with Artaud the madman than meets the Eye, yes, the temperament, the gallingness of it, the resolute standing away...
-------he is the doctor, the doctor to the poor...
and there is another thing, his love of dancers, his dedications to dancers, his wife, Lucette AlmAnzor Celine, a woman who'd had polio and became by sheer force of will,a ballet dancer, and teacher of no mean repute....

yes, the dancers across his books, think of the dancesrs in the two Guignol's band, the language itself a spinning mad dance of haze across the page...a spin, a yard, a speed race....

a stampede even .....

and really hes such a funny writer ~
read the opening of Mort a Credit
Death on the Installment Plan _ the tile alone is enough to make me crack up|
no my own copy is not nearby otherwise, Id type it
rattling my typewriter todeath
with the sheer gangsterism of it....

Rigadoon that fancy french court steppy dance, a baroque boat spinning.... so fine refined complex in its concatenations . | I am

Nijinsky as the Puppet Petrouchka







The puppet Petrouchka was one of Vaslav Nijinsky’s most famous roles, Bronislava Nijinska wrote of her brother’s performance at the end of Petrouchka: “With an agonizing pain and sadness in his eyes, he extends a trembling arm in farewell to the crowd, knowing that only they, the gray, common, Russian crowd, love and understand Petrouchka. The heavy wooden head hangs to one side, and the tragic eyes stare out of the grotesque, still mask of the doll’s face.”

love letters

Spinoza's love letters are his philosophy. that's what his philosophy was,a love letter to the world, to love this world. yes.

Spinoza was a man with a gentle face.


it's a love letter

It might be that a writer has delicate health ... He is nonetheless ... a sort of great Alive ... Writing carries out the conjunction, the transmutation of fluxes, through which life escapes from the resentment of persons, societies, and reigns ....


yet another thing about blogs that is tiresome is the whole concept of

of subscribing I mean I dig it but I can change things constantly in what Ive written so it wont be what is one the “feed” the feed is there to draw the reader out to the text as its written at a particular moment but but its a log, right, and logs change, at least in this world. I mean what is a comma or a straight sentence to a man writing on a ship in stormy sea ________ it’s nothing he writes to save his life, not to get published or become a famous writer. so the good thing about it, the blog, is the machine is constantly changing, the record is transforming recording and producing. at least for some of us that’s how it works, that s the fun of it. so this log is washed over in the changing page of its event, of its moment.




One only writes through love, all writing is a love-letter: the literature-Real. One should only die through love, and not a tragic death. One should only write through this death .

assemblages are made composed reposed and disposed of parts from here . there. as each sees fit.
as a fit audience and few is required for the assemblage of this sowing work. one cannot spilling the poetry everywhere. one does not no longer one does not talk one does not talk ordinarily anylonger. one has painted the world with one's mouth. thought is made in the mouth. la pensée c'est fait dans la bouche.

in other words: its a laboratory. experiment. dont interpret. that has a specific sense of combining elements from all overthe place.thus the intersection to the dada idea.
change the time. throw out the door!

Challengering: I dont think we were suggesting that a book
published by a poet is a commodity. Not at all. As we said,\
(that wld be too simple a thesis)
at the time, when "I" was D plus G [secret invisble line D_ to G
and then G______to D __________ yes, yes, god, the old
god, atheist be coming)

On one set of claws
you click this way and find your self doubledouble articulating
thus the dg gd . its really the zzzzzzzzzzzz
sound that made the proper name
Deleuze
more noticeable.
Now Mind
you
what would
the
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
sound be
if not
accompanied by

CP So you were not suggestin' as some readers have it that the book of poetry, or novels
are all failures
of the line of flight
?
say 'under" capitalism?
_________________________________________________________________________
Non, non CP __ I would not be interested even in hinting at that
__________________________________________________ A set of clowns claiming marxism is our Oedipus _ ah, well you know children, Oedipal followers of "Deleuze and Guattari" might think this way. It's regular, expected, one sees the repetition of the effect not the creating of concepts.

________________________ Non non poetry is dozens of lines, literally escaping. How can poetry be anything other than lines of flight.




_______________________ what is suggested by way of that polemic is to examine the context in which books are published. One has to ask the same thing of any daily event, of blogging, webbing, going to the grocery. Our Friend, Jean Genet once said (in reply to a question about the money he made from his bOoks) that the money he made was so neglible that it made no difference to the capitalist empire. Quite right. he was. we are many voices, as is the voices of the poetry being in event at anytime on this full body of the earth itself. It s immance a power of continuation and love
_________________________________.

Love is perhaps the first category of philosophy.

______________________ when the book is a series of lines of flight then it undoes the excess territorialization made of it by the territories of the capital machining and mashing surrounding it.

During the summer of 1930 the British dirigible R-100 visited Montreal as part of a campaign to establish a North American terminus for a transatlantic airship route. The craft was moored at the St. Hubert airfield on the South Shore. This photograph shows the dirigible passing over Dorchester Boulevard (now René-Levesque) and Mansfield. At the right is the Sun Life Building during the third phase of its expansion by the architectural firm of Ross & MacDonald. The central tower features a reinforced steel frame sheathed in grey granite rising to a height of 400 feet. It was the largest building in the British Empire at the time of construction.

It is doubtful that the joys of capitalism are enough to liberate the people," Deleuze wrote in 1991.14 "Those who keep invoking the bloody failure of socialism don't seem to consider as a failure the present state of the global capitalist market, with the bloody inequalities it involves, the populations pushed off the market, etc. It's been a long time since the American `revolution' has failed, even before the Soviet's did. The situations and revolutionary attempts are generated by capitalism itself and they are not going to disappear."


Capitalism itself is revolutionary because it keeps fomenting inequality and provoking unrest. It also keeps providing its own kind of "communism" both as a vaccine, preventing further escalation, and an incentive to go beyond its own limitations. The multitude responds to both and can go either way, absorbing the shocks or multiplying the fractures that will occur in unpredictable ways.


A specter haunts the world and it is the specter of capital ...."

Sénatrice-maire de Montreuil
Publié le :15/07/2009
« Les conditions dans lesquelles une manifestation, certes non déclarée mais pas pour autant interdite, a été dissoute par la police ce lundi 13 juillet à Montreuil, sont inacceptables. Des manifestants ont été frappés, des passants plaqués à terre, des élus molestés. » Lire la suite...






Abstract from the Stéphane Gatti’s letter :
"Joachim Gatti has been badly face wounded by a policeman’s Flash-ball shoot, July the 8th, in Montreuil-sous-bois (Grand Paris).
His father Stéphane Gatti, the elder son of the poet Armand Gatti, wrote a letter to protest against the disinformation coming from some newspapers, and explain how occured such a tragedy."




"Libération devotes its front page to flash-ball guns. The paper's hailing the gun, which fires large rubber bullets, as the French police's latest "favourite toy". This is because, since 2005, seven people have lost an eye after being hit with these so-called "'less-lethal" weapons that the police are using to keep crowds in check.
Flash-ball guns made an appearance last week in the Paris suburb of Montreuil at a demo that was held in response to the police's heavy handling of an eviction of a squat there.
The Mayor of the town, Dominque Voynet, had harsh words for France's forces of law and order. She said the violence used to expel people from the protest in Montreuil was completely not worth it.
Too right! One protestor lost his eye after getting shot with a flash-ball gun. Voynet went on to quote a regional public security official in the Paris region who made light of the incident.
He said that we should count ourselves lucky here in France, reminding us not to "forget that in Iran, people get shot with real bullets".

------------------------------- and object of desire ~



(...) les hommes ne cessent de fabriquer une ombrelle qui les abrite, sur le dessous de laquelle ils tracent un firmament et écrivent leurs conventions, leurs opinions ; mais le poète, l’artiste pratique une fente dans l’ombrelle, il déchire même le firmament, pour faire passer un peu de chaos libre et venteux et cadrer dans une brusque lumière une vision qui apparaît à travers la fente, primevère de Wordsworth, ou pomme de Cézane, silhouette de Macbeth ou d’Achab. Alors suivent la foule des imitateurs qui ravaudent l’ombrelle avec une pièce qui ressemble vaguement à la vision, et la foule des glossateurs qui remplissent la fente avec des opinions: communication. Il faudra toujours d’autres artistes pour faire d’autres fentes, opérer les destructions nécessaires, peut-être de plus en plus grandes, et redonner ainsi à leurs prédécesseurs l’incommunicable nouveauté qu’on ne savait plus voir.(...)

When Robert Desnos the French surrealist poet, was asleep, he hung a sign on his door

statin'


Poet at Work.


Poet working
Poet working

it has a ring
a feel
of active
the machine

ringing
humming the desire machine
humming
as when a man moves his arm stays still a portrait tumbles to the earth

the neck is lighter the hand freer and the share profound

And when the looking evening is a day care centre


.



Working .






Try it .
