Notes to self (20). Nineteen Eighty-Three by David Peace* * *. Reading dates: 02 July 05 Aug 2015. Sometimes, while reading the Red Riding Quartet (of which Nineteen Eighty-Three is the last book), I thought I would not make it. The intensity of that narrative made me get up and pace the room, uttering ‘fuck! 8217; It is relentless, dark and brilliant, but it messed and manipulated me, a little like Lars von Trier’s films do. 8217; when a detail, unexplained in Nineteen Seventy Four.

Notes to self (20). Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu (translated by Stephen Mitchell)* * *. Reading dates: 14 May 22 July 2015. Neil and I started reading. Together. We abandoned it. We then started the. Thinking about facilitating contact improvisation (a rather complex thing you can read about here. Can you coax your mind from its wandering. And keep to the original oneness? Can you let your body become. Supple as a newborn child’s? Can you cleanse your inner vision. Until you see nothing but the light? Includi...

Notes to self (20). There is a genre called psychoanalytic fiction and I have recently read two examples. The first one was Jed Rubenfeld’s. The interpretation of murder. The second Brenda Webster’s. I must also thank Webster for answering a question I had asked myself many times during my analysis (and which I got a glimpse of at the APCS conference. And if so, why nobody had told me before? E-Mail (will not be published) (required). Leave this field empty. Larr; Burlesque name appeal. She lectures post...

Notes to self (20). The future by Marc Augé* *. Reading dates: 10 30 July 2015. In DiaMat, we dither between the classic writers and the new, political economy, feminism, art and even fiction. We inhabit the past to learn from it, we think about the present and we try to predict the future (through Erik Olin Wright, Benjamin Noys. It has a fantastic analysis on Flaubert’s Madame Bovary. His future is more linear than my psychoanalytic one, with the weight slightly forward, as one should not be in the vir...
