Mastodawn

Uno #specialissue di #AltreModernità che analizza l'eredità del Contemporary #CulturalStudies di Birmingham attraverso tre interviste ad Angela McRobbie, Lynne Segal e Iain Chambers.
E ancora: il linguaggio come pratica sociale alle rappresentazioni di classe, il colonialismo in #HeartOfDarkness e l’#otherness in #HanifKureishi, l'identità #queer nella poetica di Kae Tempest, la genealogia della #FashionTheory, e molto altro...

Response to the alien: Corporeal experience between selfhood and otherness

Where I end and you begin

There's a gap in between
There's a gap where we meet
Where I end and you begin

From Bruce Fink’s Against Understanding vol 2:

In Lacan’s view, no such intersubjectivity is possible because there is always a fundamental hiatus or disjunction—a misunderstanding or missed understanding—between people, because first of all, we tend to misunderstand ourselves (not wanting to know certain things about ourselves), and second, because we misunderstand each other (projecting onto others what we ourselves think, or believe we would feel were we in their shoes, not to mention jumping to conclusions about what they have said

From Bruce Fink’s Against Understanding vol 1:

There is something unknown there, something mysterious, something opaque. This Other knows something about the world that I do not know, this Other has a knowledge of things that I do not have (indeed, this Other might be understood to be the model for what is referred to as the all-knowing or omniscient God in a certain number of religions).

I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
And there'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies

'What distinguishes Wittig's theoretical, political and literary project, and makes it an unavoidable pole of intellectual attraction today, is its radical anti-essentialism. It's the radical anti-essentialism that Wittig applies to the most credible of beliefs, because of the strength of its naturalization: the idea that men and women are naturally complementary "natural groups".'
