crapulent (KRAP-yuh-luhnt) adjective

Sick from excessive drinking or eating.

[From Late Latin crapulentus (very drunk), from Latin crapula (drunkenness),
from Greek kraipal (hangover, drunkenness).]

"A doctor examining one of his more crapulent patients said to him,
'Your body is a temple and your congregation is too large.'"
Dale Turner; Guarding Our Health Lets Us Better Serve in Role God
Intended; The Seattle Times; Apr 26, 2003.

"1975: Ever in search of new dining experiences, Vancouverites get
crapulent on goblets of beer and fat drumsticks at the Mediaeval Inn."
Liz Hodgson; The Curve Theme Restaurants; Vancouver Sun (Canada);
Feb 26, 2000.

telika o "Bumby" den etrwen freedom fries alla ixen mian kori pou xtipousen ennesis. "ruth: I was a model before I went away." (pg 92, pros pliroforias tou max).

kai afou gemizoumen ton topo me lesbies,

Beauty is fate. They gaped
as her bones danced
in a golden dress in the arms
of her wooden prince, gawped

as she posed alone
in front of the Taj Mahal,
betrayed, beautifully pale.
The cameras gibbered away.

Act like a fucking princess -
how they loved her,
the men from the press -
Give us a smile, cunt.

And her blue eyes widened
to take it all in: the flashbulbs,
the half-mast flags, the acres of flowers,
History's stinking breath in her face.

- "Beautiful" Carol Ann Duffy

"...the anonymous body of the actor into my ear: it granulates, it crackles,
it caresses, it grates, it cuts, it comes: that is bliss."

Roland Barthes, The Pleasure of the Text




(Moni tou Sotiros stin Chora, aka Karyie Camie)

"Whenever I attempt to 'analyze' a text which has given me pleasure, it is not my 'subjectivity' I encounter but my 'individuality', the given that makes my body seperate from other bodies and appropriates its suffering or its pleasure: it is my body of bliss I encounter. And this body of bliss is also my historical subject; for it is at the conclusion of a complex process of biographical, historical, sociological, neurotic elements (education, social class, childhood configuration, etc.) that I control the contradictory interplay of (cultural) pleasure and (non-cultural) bliss, and that I write myself as a subject at present out of place, arriving too soon or too late (this too designating neither regret, fault nor bad luck, but merely calling for a non-site: anachronic subject, adrift."

Roland Barthes, Ibid.




(Baixa Chiado, Lisboa)

"A certain pleasure is derived from a way of imagining oneself as individual, of inventing a final, rarest fiction: the fictive identity. This fiction is no longer the illusion of a unity; on the contrary, it is the theater of society in which we stage our plural: our pleasure is individual- but not personal."

Roland Barthes, Ibid.




(Binliotheque National - i, tou Bataille- 1927-1940)
[Sta diaxyta Ellinika ta erotevomena, N.Karouzos,1984]

"Text means Tissue; but whereas hitherto we have always taken this tissue as aproduct, a ready-made veil, behind which lies, more or less hidden, meaning (truth), we are now emphasizing, in the tissue, the generative idea that he text is made, is worked out in a perpetual interweaving; lost in this tisue -this texture- the subject unmakes himself, like a spider dissolving in the constructive secretions of its web. Were we fond of neologisms, we might define the theory of the text as an hyphology (hyphos is the tissue and the spider's web [weaving])."

Roland Barthes, Ibid.



(The French House, W1D 5BG)

"'The barometer of his emotional nature was set for a spell of riot.'
These words on the printed page, had the unsettling effect no doubt intended, but with a difference. At once he put the book aside: closed it with fingers still between the pages; dropped his arm over the edge of the chair and let it hang, the book somewhere near the floor. This in casehe wanted to look at it again. But he did not need to. Already he knew the sentence by heart: he might have written it himself."

Charles Jackson, The Lost Weekend






"That was Youth with its reckless exuberance when all things were possible pursued by age where we are now, looking back at what we destroyed, what we tore away from that self who could do more, and it's work that's become my enemy because that's what I can tell you about, that Youth who could do anything."

Ombion: the porous fabric

Montgomery cheddar matures in a cheesecloth wrap, a porous fabric that allows moisture to escape, a rind to develop and molds to grow on the rind. This slow loss of moisture produces the firm, creamy yet crumbly texture of traditional Cheddar. The molds work on the cheese from the outside in, slowly building flavor.
Their flavor is incomparable: nutty, fruity, grassy, tangy but not sharp, and impeccably balanced. As a nugget of Montgomery's dissolves on the tongue, it produces wave after wave of flavor, with a finish as long as any wine's.
Don't be alarmed to see blue veining in a wedge of Montgomery's. This is simply mold that has breached the rind. Some people seek out these streaked specimens, enjoying the blue character. Certainly, there's no reason to reject such a piece or even to cut away the mold.

Logos - 1587, "second person of the Christian Trinity," from Gk. logos "word, speech, discourse," also "reason;" used by Neo-Platonists in various metaphysical and theological senses and picked up by N.T. writers. Other Eng. formations from logos include logolatry "worship of words, unreasonable regard for words or verbal truth" (1810 in Coleridge); logomachy "fighting about words" (1569); logomania (1870); logophobia (1923); and logorrhea (1902).

R.I.P.P. David Hume

Rest in Problematic Probability

DAVID FROST: No, but you said totality so you must explain

TONY BLAIR: When I said totality I mean there have been days and days of evidence given to Hutton. There are a whole series of things that have been said, both in the enquiry and outside of it. Let's just wait and let the judge get to the facts.

DAVID FROST: OK, but just on that thing, you used the word totality, not Hutton or whoever. What did it mean?

TONY BLAIR: What is means is everything that has been said. Not just taking one bit out here or there. Let's wait and get the full evidence and the hearing of the evidence and the judgement upon that evidence from the judge.

How do we move from Poetry to Filia, from association and sight/thought to re-lation-ship and affects/desire, from the Erotic Poem (in praise of Love(d)) to the act of the 'divine madness', of 'divine violence', to the exemplification of Filia, ta filia kai tous akariaious stihous pou pia den diavazonte (me tipota!) ma vionontai, opou ta fota einai idi 'olofota' ki o logos, 'vidologos', far away from the limbing foot(notes) of T.S.

That is, "voyagers", straight into the rocks, the 'Dry Salvages', indeed.

Indeed, again, here [is] w/here(?) cometh the Fwd:

San thiabazw ta pramata dame ethimithika ton filo mou ton Adorno: "The intellectuals themselves are already so heavily commited to what is endorsed in their isolated sphere that they no longer desire anything that does not carry the highbrow tag" (Minima Moralia). Distixos o kaimenos Adorno eginen 'highbrow tag' o idios. Vasika lew oti kapote xriazonte oi xelwnes. Alla sto thema tou tiflou...

"Tiresias is the most important personage in the poem, uniting all the rest...What Tiresias sees in fact, is the substance of the poem" - Notes to The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot.
[Mallon enthusiastiken o Kurios F.R. Leavis ama to iden touto - epitelous ivren ton protagonist(i) tou poiimatos, parolio na vrei jai narrative, an den evriske itan na katastrafi o kosmos tou.

Oh Thank God good old Thomas put those footnotes in, otherwise I wouldn't have understood a word and then that would make me intellectually inferior.]
Ti thwrei o tiflos? Ta panta? Claritas, lalei o Dedalus, "is the instant wherein that supreme quality of beauty, the clear radiance of the esthetic image, is apprehended luminously by the mind which has been arrested by its wholeness and fascinated by its harmony".
To re-see. To see things (differently) is perhaps enough. Claritas makes the poet then. Ara o kallitexnis en badizei sta skoteina, en jeinos pou badizei sto twra - sto here, pou kamnei ta quotidian/kathimerina pramata, jai jiame pou emeis thoroumen ta oulla xwris na thoroumen pleon, yia ton kallitexni oulla exoun to sheen tou claritas.

Mid-day rushes

(From Suzan Sontag's 'tongue in cheek' 1964 text, titled Against Interpretation, with which, as she states in 1966, she is, already, in disagreement "with a portion of what I wrote" - A! jai na eishen Internet tote, na ekamnes edit ta pramata sou kathe mera eno einai dimosia. Yet, the last 4 lines, the last 2 sentences, do still , seem to be illuminated by those flashes, of, and at, the "moment of danger". And, yet, yes, they do call for an 'interpretation'. Especially, the last one. Awaiting, then, I offer these 'rushes', offals from Sontag's text, from Sontag's mouth, inscribed (t)here.)


"....The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means."

"In place of a hermeneutics we need an erotics of art."


[Ma opos kathe kalos after-hours 'trogon', to sikotaki, i patsia, akoma kai ekeini i tapeini afkolemoni, i mia hortosoupa-vodino(!), mia tsipoura, hreiazete, 'trava to', ligo lemonaki; etsi:
Oxinon: "In place of a hermeneutics or an erotics of art, can we have an erotic hermeneutics - which is not to say, we would like to, 'oh please mister', a hermeneutics of an erotic nature, or even (ha!) an eroticised [after 'Sexed Up'] hermeneutics?"]

Anti-fonitis (i defteri para-palnitiki prospathia apo-pliromis, me to idio, panta, nomisma)*:

(...)
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the reose-garden. My words echo
Thus in your mind.
But to what purpose
Disturbing the dust on a bowl of rose-leaves
I do not know.
Other echoes
Inhabit the garden. Shall we follow?

..................................................

You say I am repeating
Something I have said before. I shall say it again.
Shall I say it again? In order to arrive there,
To arrive where you are, to get from where you are
not,
(...)
In order to posses what you do not possses
You must go by the way of dispossession.
In order to arrive at what you are not
You must go through the way in which you are not.
And what you do not know is the only thing you
know
And what you own is what you do not own
And where you are is where you are not.


Isokratis: "It is not a question of this or that… category of thought" but of "a model that is perpetually in construction or collapsing and of a process…" (Deleuze and Guattari**, Mille Plateaus / A Thousand Plateaus)

But fare forward, voyagers.
