  5. On exhibit in the British Museum since 1802 when the English appropriated the stone after Napoleon's defeat, The Rosetta has since embodied a primal scene in the archive of reading and compressed what Deleuze calls "a cloud of virtual images" or possible reading futures that surround "every actual." (Dialogues, Columbia University Press, 1987: 148) Virtuals and unencrypted images that have attached themselves to the stone and its origins coalesce around war and reading: as French excavation and decipherment (Derrida); as global conflict -- Syriana and the bombed out El-Rashid Hotel; as the British Museum, epicenter of vast cultural agencies and mnemonic objects amassed during the age of empire building; and as language learning software sold today at airport kiosks and over the Internet under the name Rosetta Stone.

--------------------------- The cloud is pervasive in the Bond series.A ll apears clear but it aint necessarily so.

'These same kinds of transports, signature sign systems, mnemonic relays, and compressed virtualities at work on the Rosetta are at play in Tom Cohen's groundbreaking, densely elusive yet revelatory new study of Hitchcock's cinematic archive. 





Hitchcock's Cryptonymies, published simultaneously in two, 'hyperlinked' volumes, Secret Agents and War Machines, "takes 'Hitchcock' as a Rosetta Stone," for "cinema's advent, its accelerating role in a teletechnic revolution, and its presumed death, as if at the hands of new media" (Agents 2). In addition to incorporating this historio-graphic allegory, Cohen's 'Hitchcock' becomes both a planetary, futuristic reading room and a platform for invention, a medium to rehearse what I will call a Nanotechnology of Reading that has implications for critical readers beyond the Hitch canon.








This delicate patch work is From  Where? from Scope that 's where.
