Get Real: March 2011
http://getbereal.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 28, 2011. For Futurists, exception from collision of machines. For Oulipians, from constraint of programs. For Jarryites, exception results from the corruption of memories (pg. 10). How do we define the kind of 'pataphysics we perform? More on this later. I guess we're after the Clinamen since we're looking at a system that values not equivalence or difference but the fate of its own contrivances (the contrivance here being rational logic and progress by way of scientific law). The Oulipian...

Fatal Strategies, Game Theory, and Catastrophe: March 2011
http://fatalstrategy.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Fatal Strategies, Game Theory, and Catastrophe. Roger Caillois book Man, Play, and Games. 1938), Caillois defines four categories of play: agon, alea, mimicry, ilinx. We already have the instruction of seeing the accident as a sign; we need to find a way to visualize or experience the target as an omen. Caillois will help us understand how we give the accident space form in the object/event domain. We therefore need to know how to read its patterns (derived from class notes):. 8220;All play presupposes t...

Toward a Fatal Strategy. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Jarry does not borrow scientific concepts so much as scientific conceits." (29). Jarry may posit this notion [ie, syzygia] within a medieval context.but such a principal of alliance does provide a pretext for postmodern philosophy about the theme of syncretism.conceits which conjoin as much as they disjoin, inverting, while equating, the values of the binary that must support them" (40-1).

Get Real: Play & Mystery
http://getbereal.blogspot.com/2011/04/play-mystery.html
Sunday, April 3, 2011. Early on in Man, Play and Games, Caillois has a line on the relationship between play and mystery that I find a bit puzzling, so puzzling that it's worth quoting at length:. Caillois insists that the simulation/vertigo pairing doesn't encourage play but expresses an institutional function. It is the institution in oral societies, the founding and unifying ceremony that the culture works toward, unified in its move toward symbolic exchange. March 18, 2013 at 4:48 PM. I agree that th...

Get Real: 'Pataphysical Inquiries (part 2, confabulate)
http://getbereal.blogspot.com/2011/04/pataphysical-inquiries-part-2.html
Monday, April 4, 2011. Pataphysical Inquiries (part 2, confabulate). So, in the disaster, we have a material (usually plastics and heavy metals) being burned, so a potential starting point is conflagration. Then again, the process by which it enters the human body would be dissipation. And also, the burning of something like a plastic, for example, results in melting and then vaporization. Let's put "dissipation" through the OED and see what's nearby. "Dissinew? Trans to deprive of 'sinew' or vigour.

Get Real: House & Ilynx?
http://getbereal.blogspot.com/2011/04/house-ilynx.html
Sunday, April 10, 2011. From my notes on Caillois:. The association of simulation and vertigo is so powerful that it naturally becomes part of the sacred, providing a principle base for terror and fascination given by the sacred. Civilization estranges us from their effects. (76). I suppose then that one of my primary challenges may be to present the sacred through civilization. If we're dealing with a house, how does that house become a church? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
