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]

— Συχνά στο έργο σας αναφέρεστε στον Xάιντεγκερ.

— Eίναι η πηγή του στοχασμού. Oταν πήγα για πρώτη φορά στο Σεράγεβο έκανα τράβελινγκ, χρησιμοποιώντας φράσεις του Xάιντεγκερ. Στη «Mουσική μας» αναφέρομαι περισσότερο στον Λεβινάς και συγκεκριμένα στο βιβλίο «Le Temps et l’ Autre». Yπάρχει μια σημείωση στο κάτω μέρος της σελίδας. Mου αρέσουν πολύ οι μακροσκελείς σημειώσεις στο κατω μέρος των σελίδων… O Λεβινάς υποστηρίζει ότι ο θάνατος είναι «το δυνατό του αδύνατου» και όχι «το αδύνατο του δυνατού». Φράση που επαναλαμβάνω και στην ταινία

— Kαι ο κινηματογράφος, τι είναι για σας;

— O κινηματογράφος είναι μια λέξη που με κάνει να ντρέπομαι κάποιες φορές. Δεν τολμάω να πω ότι είμαι σκηνοθέτης, απεχθάνομαι τον χαρακτηρισμό. Eτσι λέω ότι δεν έχει όνομα το επάγγελμά μου, χωρίς να είναι και ακατονόμαστο.

Φιλοσοφία, μια παράνομη σύντροφος



«Σε όλη μου τη ζωή έχω κρατήσει μια φράση του Καμύ που με έχει συνταράξει: η αυτοκτονία είναι το μοναδικό πραγματικά σοβαρό πρόβλημα της φιλοσοφίας». Ζαν-Λυκ Γκοντάρ


Μια εκδοχή για τον πόλεμο, τη μελαγχολία, τον παράδεισο, την Παλαιστίνη και το Σαράγεβο: έτσι χαρακτηρίζουν οι κριτικοί τη νέα ταινία του Γκοντάρ «H μουσική μας», που προβλήθηκε χθες εκτός συναγωνισμού στο Φεστιβάλ των Καννών. Ακούραστος σκηνοθέτης ο Γκοντάρ, από τους πιο παραγωγικούς σε ολόκληρο τον πλανήτη, με πενήντα ταινίες μεγάλου μήκους στο ενεργητικό του. «Όταν ξεκίνησα να γυρίζω ταινίες», λέει, «ήμουν μηδέν ετών». Κι ύστερα, ευτυχώς για μας, ξέχασε να σταματήσει.

Στον Γκοντάρ δεν αρέσουν οι ορισμοί. «Δεν υπάρχει αμφιβολία ότι είμαι ή πολύ γέρος ή πολύ νέος γι' αυτό», λέει στον δημοσιογράφο τής Λιμπερασιόν. Όμως εκείνος επιμένει να τον ρωτά. Τι είναι η ηθική, δάσκαλε; «Ο παππούς μου ήταν πλούσιος, κι όταν πήγαινα στο σπίτι του έτρωγα σε πιάτα με εικόνες από την αποικιοκρατία. Σε πολλά απ' αυτά υπήρχε το πορτρέτο του στρατάρχη Μπυζώ (γενικού διοικητή της Αλγερίας από το 1840 ώς το 1847). Ίσως να αρχίζει εκεί, η ηθική».

H μοναξιά; «H Χάνα ’ρεντ έλεγε ότι η μοναξιά δεν έχει σχέση με την απομόνωση. Στη μοναξιά, δεν είμαστε ποτέ μόνοι με τον εαυτό μας. Είμαστε πάντα δύο σε ένα και γινόμαστε ένα μόνο χάρις στους άλλους, όταν βρισκόμαστε μαζί τους. Εμένα μ' αρέσει να είμαι σε ένα τραπέζι όπου τρώνε και γελάνε, προτιμώ όμως να κάθομαι στην άκρη και να μην είμαι υποχρεωμένος να συμμετέχω».

H μοναξιά είναι λοιπόν να είμαστε δύο. Ο έρωτας; «Δεν το έχω σκεφτεί πολύ. Μου έρχεται στο μυαλό η φράση του Λακάν: έρωτας είναι να θέλεις να δώσεις κάτι που δεν έχεις σε κάποιον που δεν το θέλει. Στην πραγματικότητα, η λέξη αυτή δεν πρέπει να χρησιμοποιείται. H λέξη φιλία είναι πιο δυνατή»"

Τι είναι λοιπόν η φιλία; «Ο έρωτας εμπεριέχεται στη φιλία, ενώ η φιλία δεν εμπεριέχεται κατ' ανάγκην στον έρωτα. Στη φιλία υπάρχουν απαγορεύσεις, οι οποίες όμως δεν θεσπίζονται με τον νόμο, επιβάλλονται στην πορεία. Κι ύστερα, στη φιλία μπορείς να χωρίσεις, στον έρωτα ποτέ. Είχα, με δυσκολία, ορισμένες σχέσεις με γυναίκες πολύ νεώτερές μου: δεν ήμουν ερωτευμένος μ' εκείνες τις γυναίκες, αλλά με τον έρωτα. Και τους έκανα κακό».

Και η φιλοσοφία; «Ο Μωρίς Μπλανσό έλεγε ότι η φιλοσοφία είναι η σύντροφός μας, μέρα-νύχτα, ακόμη κι όταν χάνει το όνομά της, ακόμη κι όταν απουσιάζει. Μια σύντροφος παράνομη».

Για τους βασανισμούς των Ιρακινών στρατιωτών τι λέτε, δάσκαλε; «Αυτό που με προβληματίζει περισσότερο είναι το φλουτάρισμα σε ορισμένες φωτογραφίες, ώστε να μη φαίνεται η γύμνια των κρατουμένων. Γιατί το κάνουν αυτό οι εφημερίδες; Είναι αποκρουστικό. Ο πιο απεχθής είναι αυτός που αποφάσισε να φλουτάρει. Αλλοιώνεται έτσι η αλήθεια της φωτογραφίας και εξαπατάται ο αναγνώστης».

The visible sea at a distance from the shore
Or beyond the anchoring grounds
Was called the offing...

Untrespassed still, and yet somehow vacated
As if a lambent troop that exercised
On the borders of your vision had withdrawn
Behind the skyline to manoeuvre and regroup...

'Histories that tell another story are written to teach, and what they teach is to live that history'
- Joseph Kossuth as quoted in Kwstis: 2003

Radical Acts

While the Cypriot F.M. states, on BBC Radio 4, that he had other 'important engagements' during the last referendum campaign, that in effect he was 'too busy' 'for the sake of the Cypriot people', and that is why he did not campaign for the endorsement of a 'yes' vote, in a last attempt not to proclaim his political incapacity, his diplomatic stupidity and his lack of any rigid argument in why he followed his president Ta(t)SSos 'poulos and his phobic master James (call me Thomas the Non-Believer) Christ-I-made-it-to-the-chair; I AM NOT LEAVING NOW, and with 'poulos, according to AP and as reported on www.bbc.co.uk/news, threatening a 'veto' even before he enters the EU (!!!!) to any measure that directly or indirectly recognises a Turkish/Cypriot 'state' [something not even the T/C do not want - although they are not less opportunistic than the tourist-based Paphos 85%+ of 'No' voters], evident of his 'ego papas ego tatas' style of nationalism (I refuse to credit him with political insight to ideological frameworks - the above quote speaks beyond the lines of itself) the lonely yet noisy expedition in live-lo-graphemes has always, already been enunciated.
Until the whole political spectrum of Cyprus gets a nervous breakdown, or decide to sue me (the legal secretaries of the state or of private firms can contact me via demetris_taliotis@yahoo.com), or simply gets bombarded with eggs and food waste on every public appearance untill they realise that they are stinking rotten [you read it here first - I give you 6 months before the first mass eggs&cream-cake attck takes place, and I am a pessimist by nature!] I will exercise my right in cultural terrorism. Dialogue at the moment is nothing but a moronic concession to FASCISM and its Modus Operandi (aka Media, Legalistic and Technocratic a prioris and pure and simple inarticulation - imagine a dialogue with Giorgos Iakovou and 'Poulos as the representatives of the Cypriot goverment. No wonder the Swiss Dialogues of April 2004 failed!)

That passengers would find it much
To lose their lives, as well as spoil their diet;
That even the able seaman, deeming his
Days nearly o'er, might be dispos'd to riot,
As upon such occasions tars will ask
For grog, and sometimes drink rum from the cask.

There's nought, no doubt, so much the spirit calms
As rum and true religion: thus it was,
Some plunder'd, some drank spirits, some sung psalms,
The high wind made the treble, and as bass
The hoarse harsh waves kept time; fright cur'd the qualms
Of all the luckless landsmen's sea-sick maws:
Strange sounds of wailing, blasphemy, devotion,
Clamour'd in chorus to the roaring ocean.

"Now convalescence is like a return towards childhood. The convalescent, like the child, is possessed in the highest degree of the faculty of keenly interesting himself in things, br they apparently of the most trivial. Let us go back, if we can, by a retrospective effort of the immagination, towards our most youthful, our earliest, impressions, and we will recognize that they had astrange kinship with those brightly coloured impressions which we werelater to receive in theaftermath of a physical illness, always provided that that illness had left our spiritual capacities pure and unharmed. The child sees everything in a stateof newness; he is always drunk."

"Whether these men [and women] are nicknamed exquisites, incoroyables, beaux, lions or dandies, they all spring from the same womb; they all partake of the same characteristic quality of opposition and revolt; they are all representative of what is finest in human pride, of that compelling need, alas only too rare today, of combating and destroying triviality. It is from this that the dandies obtain that haughty exclussiveness, provocative i its very coldness. Dandyism appears above all in periods of transition, when democracy is not yet all-powerful, and aristocracy is only just beggining to totter and fall. In the disorder of these times, certain men who are socially, politically and financially ill at ease, but are rich in native energy, may conceive the idea of establishing a new kind of aristocracy, all the more difficult to shatter as it will based on the most precious, the most enduring facilities, and on the divine gifts which work and money are unable to bestow. Dandyism is the last spark of heroism amid decadence.(...) Dandyism is a sunset; like the declining daystar, it is glorious, without heat and full of melancholy..."

Charles Baudelaire, The painter of Modern Life

'To all tomorrow's parties

[...] And where will she go and what shall she do
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door' - Lou Reed

ectoplasmic eczema mass mezes draws into
and marks as cancerous and who the fuck is
that eurinates into box that ding boom round
and round and round everywhere decides to
form and oil draw line between
to mark as supplementary, scar(r)ed οστεοφυλάκιον
(no parking dead belt), to translate an identity great
grandfather looks severely strict lunches stripped
bare in an infinite regress plate (room spring echo
hall) narcissus condemned to speak quoting/unable
to see other than self, as that other grand father
fairies follow trails; fairy trace
never say no to cry baby cry and then
merge into the ectoplasma 'βάλε jάλλο
μεν αντρέπεσε' (the room, you're part
of the room, topos tropos trofos tokos
tik tik tik tok)
and tomorrow know for today maybe
the good lord will take the wrong step
and fall flat in the face of beloved
and will cry cry cry
shame on
to follow the ghost, (Hamlet was
surely Shakespeare's), to remember, to fall for
you who (ectoplasma)
plate is full and never
(we are entering the fields of saturn)
empties already below δυσπεψία but also δυσκοιλιώτης,
hemaetic, desire towards or
the abjection of earth
to cut off the cancer to all tomorrows masses
of a spring that is more of a revelation than a ressurection
['Και ειδον, και ηκουσα ενος αετου πετομενου εν

of an essence that is more an ever rediscovered curse than blessing
of a crowd that speaks of answers to something that
is not really a question
of homes that taste more sweet

"The whole chaotic constellation of the social revovlves around the spongy referent, that opague but equally translucent reality, that nothingness: the masses. A statistical crystal ball, the masses are 'swirling with curent flows', in the image of matter and the natural elements. So at least they are represented to us. THey can be "mesmerized", the social envelops them, like static electricity; but most of the time, precisely, the form an earth, that is they absorb all they electricity of the social and political and neutralise it forever. ... (T)he masses have no history to write, neither past nor future, thay have no virtual energies to release, nor any desire to fullfill: their strenght is actual, in the present, and sufficient unto itself. It consists in their silence...a silence which refuses to be spoken for in its name... They don't express themselves, they are tested. The referendum (and the media are a constant referendum of directed questions and answers) has been substituted for the political referent...Everywhere the masses are encouraged to speak, they ate urged to live socially, electronically, organisationally, sexually, in participation, in festival, in free speech, etc. The spectre must be exorcised, it must pronounce its name.... Out of this private and asocial universe, which does not enter into a dialectic of representation and of transcendence towards the universal, out of this involutive sphere wich is opposed to all revolution from the top and refuses to play the game, some would like to make a new source of revolutionary energy...Banality, inertia, apoliticism ised to be fascist; they are in the process of becoming revolutionary...Micro-revolution of banality, transpolitics of desire - one more trick of the "liberationists". The denial of meaning has no meaning... For us an utenable hypothesis: that it may be possible to communicate outside the medium of meaning...by an allergy to reference, to the message, to the code and to every category of the linguistic enterprise, by a repudation of all this in favour of imploding the sign in fascination (no longer any signified:absorption of the poles of signification). None of the guardians of meaning can understand this: the whole morality of meaning rises uop against fascination...."

"And so, not knowing how to believe in God and unable to beleive in an aggregate of animals, I, along with other people on the fringe, kept a distance from things, a distance commonly called Decadene. Decadence is the total loss of unconsciousness, which is the very basis of a life. Could it think, the heart would stop beating."
