Μνήμη Μάγκα (+6/06/2004)
Στην εναρμόνισι της ηδονής ξεχνά κανείς τις μαστιγώσεις
Της βιοπάλης και της μοίρας.
Α. Εμπειρίκος
Του Ορέστη, του Σωτήρη, του Πάρη, της Χριστίνας, της Ελένης, του Αλέξανδρου, της Emelie, της Μaren, του Στράτη, της Λάρας, του Κωστή, ...
Είναι νύχτες απογοητευτικές. Κι είναι και νύχτες που τελειώνουν απογοητευτικά. Ειδικά όταν δεν βρίσκεις, ξέροντας πως ποτέ δεν θα βρεις πια, τον βραστό μέτριο καφέ σου, χάραμα, στη Χώρα. Όταν η νύχτα με την απογοήτευση την πνιγμένη σε κερασμένη αλκοόλη, απαντά το ξημέρωμα του θανατηφόρου ανακοινωθέν. Του θανατηφόρου ανακοινωθέν όχι ενός φίλου, ενός συνομήλικου, ενός γνωστού, μα μιας δεκαετίας βιωμένης, και άλλων δύο καταγραμμένων, καταραμένων δεκαετιών - και βαλε- χρονιές άκρατης και αιώνιας εφηβείας που θέλησε άξαφνα, όσο και προβλεπτά, ο Χάρος να στις πάρει. Ποιος θα ξεχάσει αγαπημένοι φίλοι τα πρωινά μετά από τις τεκίλες τα ουίσκια και τις μπίρες, τους γελαστούς καφέδες, ποιος θα ξεχάσει αγαπημένη μου φίλη τον καφέ με τρέμουλο μετά την σούπα, ποιος θα ξεχάσει την φωτιά εκείνη στην απέναντι ταβέρνα έντεκα η ώρα το πρωί με τα μπουλούκια και τα περιπολικά με τα αναψυκτικά στο χέρι, και ποιος, ποιος μπορεί, να ξεχάσει τις μεταμεσονύχτιες επισκέψεις, με κλοπιμαία πούρα, Σκανδιναβία, ποδόσφαιρο και βουτηγμένο στ’ αίματα χαμόγελο στο Καφενείο του Μάγκα. Στο ΚΑΦΕΝΕΙΟ ΤΟΥ ΜΑΓΚΑ, στο καφενείο του Γιώργου Ιωαννίδη, που μέχρι το τέλος σέρβιρε σκέτους και βραστούς γλυκύς στα σπίτια της Οδού Σούτσου στην Παλιά Λευκωσία, τσάι και μέτριους στους εργαζόμενους στην Δημοτική Αγορά, και εγερτήριους, ιαματικά ηδονικούς καφέδες στα αλκοολικά μάτια των φίλων και αγνώστων που ξενυχτούσαν σε μπαρ εντός και εκτός των τειχών για μέρες, για μήνες, για δεκαετίες.
Και να σου μια νύχτα- απογοητευτική, σαν όλες οι άλλες οι προηγούμενες- ξάφνου, αντί με το ενθαρρυντικό χαμόγελο, τσουπ!. τελειώνει με το άπιστο Όχι Ρε! Και ανακαλύπτεις, μάλλον αντιλαμβάνεσαι, μπρος από την πρόσφατα τοιχοκολλημένη πένθιμη ανακοίνωση- δεν πάνε δυο βδομάδες- πως το Super-8 film, οι λιγοστές φωτογραφίες, τα ένα-δύο άρθρα τα τελευταία 25 χρόνια, είναι τα μόνα - μαζί με την ολιγόχρονη τοπική μνήμη- που θα θυμούνται την γεύση της χαραυγής και του άφιλτρου τσιγάρου στην εντός των τειχών Λευκωσία, την Λευκωσία των πούλμαν, των γκρουπ, των executives, πια, το καφενείο του Μάγκα, την ψιθυριστή κραυγή, 4 η ώρα τα μεσάνυχτα, με το βεβαρημένο παθητικό απ’ το ουίσκι και τις μπίρες, οδοιπόροι, «Πάμεν στο Μάγκα να πιούμεν κανέναν καφέ;»
Αιωνία σου η Μνήμη, Μάστρε Γιώρκο.
Της βιοπάλης και της μοίρας.

!'Unsheathe your dagger definitions.'
DEAR DIRTY CYPRUS

...because you have been straying with no other company than the endless roads, sands, shingle, bogs amd hether, than this nature answerable to another court, than at long intervals the fellow convict you long to stop, embrace, suck, suckle and whom you pass by, with hostile eyes, for fear of his familiarities?

These three things concern precisely this thing that is called spirit. As soon as one no longers distinguishes spirit from specter, the former asumes a body, it incarnates itself, as spirit, in the specter. Or rather, as Marx himself spells out, ..., the specter is a paradoxical incorporation, the becoming-body, a certain phenomenal and carnal form of the spirit. It becomes, rather, some "thing" that remains difficult to name: neither soul nor body, and both one and the other. For it is fleshand phenomenolity that give to the spirit its spectral apparition, but which dissapear right away in the apparition, in the very coming of the revenant or the return of the specter. There is something disappearead, departed in the apparition itself as reapparition of the departed. The spirit, the specter are not the same thing, and we will have to sharpen this difference; but as for they have in common, one does not know what it is, what it is presently. It is something that one does not know, precisely, and one does not know if precisely it is, if it exists, if it responds to a name and correspnds to an essence. One does not know: not out of ignorance, but because this non-object, this non-present present, this being-there of an absent or departed one no longer belongs to knowledge. At least no longer to that which one thinks one knows by the name of knowledge. One does not know if it is living or if it is dead. Here is - or rather there is, over there, an unnameable or almost unnameable thing: something, between something and someone, anyone or anything, some thing, "this thing", but this thing and not any other, this thing that looks at us, that concerns us, comes to defy semantics as much as ontology, psychoanalysis as much as philosophy. The Thing is still invisible, it is nothing visible at the moment one speaks of it and in order to ask oneself if ot has reappeared. It is still nothing that can be seen when one speaks of it (...) Nor does one see in flesh and blood this Thing that is not a thing, this thing that is invisible between its apparitions, when it appears. This Thing meanwhile looks at us and sees us not see it even when it is there. A spectral assymetry interrupts here all specularity. It de-synchronizes, it recalls us to anachrony (...) Here anachrony makes the law. To feel ourselves seen by a look which it will always be impossible to cross, that is the visor effect on the basis of which we inherit from the law. Since we do not see the one who sees us and who makes the law, who delivers the injuction (...) we can not identify it in all certainity, we must fall back on its voice. (...) An eseentially blind submission to his secret, to the secret of his origin: this is a first obedience to the injuction. It will condition all the others. It may always be a case of still someone else. Another can always lie, he can disguise himself as a ghost, another ghost may also be passing himself off for this one. It's always possible (...)
Repetition and first time: this is perhaps the question of the event as question of the ghost. What is a ghost? What is the effectivety of the presence of the specter, that is of what seems to remain as innefective, virtual, insubstantial as simulacrum? Is there, there, between the thing itself and its simulacrum, an opposition that hold up? Repetition and first time, but also repetition and last time, since the singularity of any first time makes of it also a last time. (...) One cannot control its comings and goings because it begins by coming back (...)
What seems almost impossiible is to speak always of the specter, to speak to the specter, to speak with it, therefore especially to make or let a spirit speak. (...)There has never been a scholar who really, and as a scholar, deals with ghosts. A traditional scholar does not beleive in ghosts - nor in all that could be called the virtualspace of spectrality. There has never been a scholar who, as such, does not believe in the sharp distinction between the real and the unreal, the actual and the inactual, the living and the non-living, being and non-being,in the opposition between what is present and what is not, for example in the form of objectivity. Beyond this opposition, there is, for the scholar, only the hypothesis of a school of thought, theatrical fiction, literature, and speculation. If we were to refer uniquely to this traditional figure of the "scholar", we would therefore have to be wary here of what we could define as the illusion, the mystification, or the complex of Marcellus [Hamlet] (...) Marcellus was perhaps anticipating [Thou art a Scholer -speake to it]the coming, one day, one night, several centuries later, of another "scholar". The latter would finally be capable, beyond the opposition between presence and non-presence, actuality and inactuality, life and non-life, of thinking of the possibility of the specter, the specter as possibility. Better (or worse) he would know how to address himself to spirits. He would know that such an address is not only already possible, but that it will have at all times conditioned, as such, address in general.
(...)
It will always be a fault not to read and reread and discuss Marx - which is to say also a few others- and go beyond scholarly "reading" or "discusssion". It will be more and more a fault, a failing of theoretical, philosophical, political responsibility. When the dogma machine and the "Marxist" ideological apparatuses (State, parties, cells, unions, and other places of doctrinal production) are in the process of disapearing, we no longer have any excuse, only alibis, for turning away from this responsibility. There will be no future without this. Not without Marx, without the memory and the inheritance of Marx: in any case of a certain Marx, of his genius, of at least one of his spirits. For this will be our hypothesis or rather our bias: there is more than one of them, there must be more than one of them.
[Jacques Derrida, Specters of Marx]
