There is … a great deal more to be said for post-colonial studies … Whatever its romantic illusions and secret self regard, this most rapidly growing [1999] sector of literary criticism signals the entry onto the Western cultural stage, for the first time in its history, of those the West has most injured and abused. …But there are discreditable as well as creditable reasons for the speedy...

what I was thinking of
the problem of writing: in order to designate something exactly, inexact expressions are unavoidable. Not at all because it is a neces- sary step, or because one can advance only by approximations; on the con- trary, it is the exact passage of that which is under way

In his new book Who Owns the Future?, [Jaron] Lanier looks to a future in which it isn’t just our social networks and search engines that reap billions from our data. It’s everyone: retailers, banks, health care providers. Lanier thinks they’ll all offer us wonderful services at irresistible prices—yet leave us unemployed and at their mercy.

a note on the translation: ἐμέσαι
you would spit out a venom but you would spew something out which you had first eaten or had drunk. And you would spit something out of your mouth before you had eaten or had drunk it. But you would try to spew something out which had been or had grown inside you, like a disease or a parasite.
Revelation 3:16 allows for a compromise by having ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου – literally “out of the mouth of...

It is remarkable that the Greek adjectives are in the masculine, agreeing with the angel, not feminine, agreeing with the Church.

What is consciousness but language? asks Gilles Deleuze, in a work concerned with another question, What is language?
Language is a sign-signal system, according to Deleuze, which wouldn’t mean very much until we remember that signs are assemblages. They are independent networks of disparate entities, which work under the sign of being and being elements. Signs are constructed. They work that...

your whole life it contains
Copyright © 2013 Osho International Foundation
All the buddhas of all the ages have been telling you a very simple fact:
Be — don´t try to become. Within these two words, be and becoming,
your whole life is contained. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance.

the questions leads 2
I was going to write something about this
and about only last night having seen Skyfall, the Heineken® Bond movie. Obviously, directed by Ninja, Terence Neale and Saki Fokken Bergh, “Fatty Boom Boom” has more directors. Skyfall only has – named – Sam Mendes, and he does a terrible job. There are enough pauses in the dialogue to make another movie. It is a kind of verbal colander. I wondered if...

the questions leads
There is never any difference — not because it comes down to the same in the answer, but because it is never anywhere but in the question, and in the repetition of the question, which ensures its movement and its disguise.

a description of aion – comment welcome
What follows is not representative of Deleuze’s aion. It is my reading and the flaws in it are also mine.
Aion is a pure surface in contact with the outside. It has no immemorial or historic depth to it. Pure surface, it is opposed to chronological time, or chronos.
Chronos allows metaphors, such as depth – the depths of history or memory – and those spatial metaphors derived from geometry and...

sculpted from time, memory and human bone
small corners, tricks of light and sound; odours that find recess in me, a cup to sit in for a second or two; enough to weigh down an indentation, an impression; the echo of a memory that is not there, or should not be.
…
a gin that projected light, chopped into pieces to coincide with blinks, so that an impression of movement was achieved. Always the same movement, endless. The same woman on...

Against the Kingdom (c. 1995)
At the wind drop,
tidal mangrove by the motorway,
the masts and pylons,
these are the spires of the West in a smoke-blue sky
and I was going to speak again
against the kingdom, a stifling obloquy
and commiserate the status quo,
Henderson in the valley, the road ghost and abattoir
in the mind,
but I’m not interested in its preservation, after my friends,
people whose faces...
