"Whereas the "either/or" claims to mark decisive choices between immutable terms (the alternative: either this or that), schizophrenic "either ... or ... or" refers to the system of possible permutations between differences that always amount to the same as they shift and slide about. As in the case of Beckett's mouth that speaks and feet that walk: "He sometimes halted without saying [...] Either he had finally nothing to say, or while having something to say he finally decided not to say it."

"Even before the capitalist production-machine is assembled, commodities and money effect a decoding of flows through abstraction [...] Simple exchange inscribes commercial products as particular quanta of a unit of abstract labor. It is abstract labor, posited in the exchange relation, that forms the disjunctive synthesis of the apparent movement of commodities, since the abstract labor is divided into qualified pieces of labor to which a given determinate quantum corresponds."

"Alphabetical writing is not for illiterates, but by illerates. It goes by way of illiterates, thouse unconscious workers. The signifier implies a language that overcodes another language, while the other language is completely coded into phonetic elements. And if the unconscious in fact includes the topical order of a double inscription, it is not structured like one language, but like two."

Once this occurs, there is a dismemberment of the full body [...] in short, a whole ark of alliance." th' use of ARK didn't go uNnOTicED to SELF: delve more into DOGON MYTHology | we went to MALI bLIND w/HINDsight but th'is NOW=America

"It is rare that one sees myth and science saying the same thing from such a great distance: the Dogon narrative develops a mythical Weismannism, where the germinative plasma forms an immortal and continuous lineage that does not depend on bodies; on the contrary, the bodies of the parents as well as the children depend on it."

"Artaud puts it well: all writing is so much pig shit—that is to say, any literature that takes itself as an end or sets ends fo itself, instead of being a process that "ploughs the crap of being and its language," transports the weak, the aphasiacs, the illiterate. At least spare us sublimation. Every writer is a sellout. The only literature is that which places an explosive device in its package, fabricating a counterfeit currency, causing the superego and its form of expression to explode, as well as the market value of its form of content."

"...And if one wants to call this inscription in naked flesh "writing," then it must be said that speech in fact presupposes writing, and that it is this cruel system of inscribed signs that renders man capable of language, and gives him a memory of the spoken word."

they of COURSE ride on oTHEr phiLOsophers [mostly in an attempt to deRAIL] & often they reach for th' Nietzsche: "it is a matter of creating a faculty of forgetting (oubli), by means of a repression of biological memory, must create an other memory of things, a memory of signs and no longer of effects. This organization, which traces its signs directly on the body, constitutes a system of cruelty, a terrible alphabet: "Perhaps indeed there was nothing more fearful and uncanny in the whole prehistory of man than his mnemotechnics [...] Man could never do without blood, torture, and sacrifices when he felt the need to create a memory for himself [...] one has only to look at our former codes of punishment to understand what effort it costs on this earth to breed a 'nation of thinkers'!"!"

they also exPAND on Derrida [th' object of my last post]: "Jacques Derrida is correct in saying that every language pressupposes a writing system from which it originates, if by that he means the existence and the connection of some sort of graphism—writing in the largest sense of the term [...] He is again correct in linking writing to incest in a mysterious fashion. But we see nothing in this link that would lead us to conclude in favor of the constancy of an apparatus of psychic repression, operating in the manner of a graphic machine capable of performing as well by means of Hieroglyphs as by phonemes. (...) It challenges exegesis in the name of recitation, pure textuality, and superior "scientificity" (scientificité)."

"—here we have the whole series: territorial fetishes, despotic idols or symbols, then everything is recapitulated in the images of capitalism, which shapes and reduces them to the Oedipal simulacrum. [...] the ritual primitive direction of Totem and Taboo, and the private direction of modern man the dreamer. (Oedipus can be a myth, a tragedy, or a dream" it is always expresses the displacement of the limit.) [...] and in fact dream and fantasy are to myth and tragedy as private property is to public property."

more than PROPERty [LAND] is this vain deSIRE to own ' MATTERial possessIONS that only come back to bite u in th' ASS:

"That is what the completion of the process is: not a promised and a pre-existing land, but a world created in the process of its tendency, its coming undone, it's deterritorialization. [...] not at all a hope, but a simple "finding," a "finished design," where the person who escapes cause others escapes, and marks out the land while deterritorializing himself."

i'm not unDONE here | th'IS a work in proCESS trying to EVERblow new bREADthe into words that otherWISE might PAint a gRIM landSCAPE:

"We have repudiated and lost all our beliefs that proceeded by way objective representations. The earth is dead, the desert is growing: the old father is dead, the territorial father, and the son too, the despot Oedipus. We are alone with our bad conscience and our boredom, our life where nothing happens; nothing left but images that revolve within the infinite subjective representation.

Recording is a staving off of immortality:

"There where the codes are undone, the death instinct lays hold of the repressive apparatus and begins to direct the circulation of the libido. A mortuary axiomatic. One might then believe in liberated desires, but ones that, like cadavers, feed on images. Death is not desired, but what is desired is dead, already dead: images"

shOREs of hoME

"Because art, as soon as it attains its own grandeur, its own genius, creates chains of decoding and deterritorialization that serve as the foundation for desiring-machines, and make them function. [...] it is here that art accedes to its authentic modernity, which simply consists in liberating what was present in art form from its beginnings, but was hidden underneath aims and objects, even if aesthetic, and underneath recodings or axiomatics: the pure process that fullfills itself, and that never ceases to reach fulfillment as it proceeds—art as "experimentation."
