z Santner, Eric L – On Creaturely Life. Rilke, Benjamin, Sebald.pdf

[ch 1]
‘state of exception’ (o nej pisem v eseji 1) – sebald’s ‘creaturely life’ (@santner’s book), heidegger, agamben, rilke, benjamin (‘petrified unrest’)
~ how human bodies and psyches register the “states of exception” that punctuate the “normal” run of social and political life.
The “essential disruption” that renders man “creaturely” for these writers has, that is, a distinctly political—or better, biopolitical—
aspect; it names the threshold where life becomes a matter of politics and politics comes to inform the very matter and materiality of life.
(eg. German Jews)
[ch 3]
~ ‘undeadness’ – the space between real and symbolic death = ultimate domain of creaturely life.
@ Sebald: the vampire, the Wandering Jew, Kafka’s hunter Gracchus, and Balzac’s Colonel Chabert.
( + zizek’s exception book )
[ch 4]
“postmemory,” a term coined by Marianne Hirsch to capture the peculiarities of the memory of events that hover
between personal memory and impersonal history, events one has not lived through oneself but that, in large measure through exposure
to the stories of those who did experience them, have nonetheless entered into the fabric of the self.

Frederic Beigbeder one evening not long ago popped a Moody Blues ballad into his CD player and saw Houellebecq burst into tears: ‘He started crying, crying. Finally he explained that at all the parties when he was 18, all the boys and girls slow-danced to this song, but he was alone and no one talked to him because he was ugly.. he loves pathetic – all his work is about being pathetic’.

mountain-guide father and an anesthesiologist mother, hippie parents, at 6 shipped off to a communist grandmother SW of Paris, 78 she died, frequently depressed, at 18 rejected for military service because of a morphine addiction, in 80 graduated from college with a degree in agricultural engineering, married sister of a classmate, had a son and 84 divorced, within a few years, he was unemployed, drinking heavily and in and out of mental hospitals, where he was treated for anxiety, poet in 80s, since 91 computer admin in French National Assembly, 98 wife Marie-Pierre, 99 moves to Ireland near Cork from Paris, plan to move to a house on an island off the SW coast of Ireland where there are more sheep than people, doesnt like to speak English, asocial, Jim Beam, 00 has recorded a CD of his poems and tours France with a rock band, is directing an erotic film for the Canal Plus network, maintains an open marriage, frequents swingers’ clubs, estimates that he sleeps with 25 women a year, has no idea where his parents are today – or even if they are alive.

‘pop star of the single generation’, ‘nihilist’, NY Times: ‘deeply repugnant read’, ‘France’s biggest literary sensation in 20 years’.
To 20-somethings, he’s a hero; to baby boomers, he’s a menace to society. He is also considered by turns a pornographer, a Stalinist, a racist, a sexist, a nihilist, a reactionary, a eugenicist and a homophobe.

Extension of the Battlefield — features a physically repellent software technician whose unrealistic obsession is to find a woman who will have sex with him. Instead of losing his virginity, he ends up losing his life in a car crash.

Elementary Particles — story of Bruno and Michel, a pair of half-brothers who are palmed off to grandparents at a tender age by irresponsible hippie parents. Bruno grows up to become a self-loathing, sex-obsessed psychiatric patient who, though ‘prepared to go to the ends of the earth’ for nubile flesh ‘wrapped in a miniskirt’, is rarely satisfied. He abandons the one woman who loves him, when she becomes a wheelchair-bound invalid. As for Michel, he becomes a chronically depressed molecular biologist who commits suicide off the Irish coast – but not without leaving a blueprint for establishing a new species of perfectly rational human clones, the only hope for saving mankind from self-destruction.

Houellebecq said that having money has changed his life in one crucial respect only: it has allowed him to escape ‘the nightmare’ of being an employee.
‘I don’t like to eat, I only like sex.’
‘We live in a world in which there are no more links. We’re just particles. It’s a simple metaphor.’
Marie-Pierre: ‘Michel’s not depressed. It’s the world that’s depressing.’

As Jane Bennett puts it, “maybe it is worth running the risks associated with anthropomorphism (superstition, the divinization of nature, romanticism) because it, oddly enough, works against anthropocentrism: a chord is struck between person and thing, and I am no longer above or outside a nonhuman ‘environment.’

David Skrbina has argued at great and persuasive length, panpsychism has a long history
in, and is deeply embedded within, Western thought (Skrbina 2005).
panpsychism has recently come to be entertained by thinkers of various persuasions,
including analytic philosophers like Galen Strawson (2006) and to some extent David Chalmers (1997).

ludifikacia kultury ~ upriamenie na hravy postoj ~ esencia par excellance (pozera na svet cez hru!)

na str. 89 je uprostred strany skok na dalsiu, neviem ci to tak malo byt

hih, citujes Szczepanika, s nim robim projekt v brne :)

par tipov:

pre cast Interludium ta mozno bude zaujimat Austinov koncept “speech act”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_act

mozno by ta tiez mohli zaujimat boty, umele inteligencie komunikujuce s uzivatelom v realnom case, napr. Alice
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Linguistic_Internet_Computer_Entity
alebo ELIZA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA

tu ma este sean cubitt pracicku:
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/slade/digita/notes.html

v historiach net.artu sa vzdy spomina praca ‘my boyfriend came back from the war’ olia lialina,
skvele je, ze vzniklo vyse 10+ remixov
http://myboyfriendcamebackfromth.ewar.ru/

a na prace Jodi.org by bolo veelmi zaujimave sa pozriet z literarneho hladiska

este ma napada code poetry [ http://burundi.sk/monoskop/index.php/Category:Code_poetry ],
a spam, ale to uz je mimo hypertextu…

zuzana:
moja skolitelka ju mala vypisanu tu temu, tak sme to spolu vymysleli, ona mala, ze hypertext, ja som uz potom z toho pojmu grcala, tak som si to cele prestavila na DF – a to cele je pootm moje.
samozrejme Austina poznam, citala som jeho aj Searla,
projekty Eliza a spol su sice zaujimave, ale stare jak rit – a nie je to moc fikcia, skor iba kvazipsychologicky efekt, ktoremu niekto neskor prisudil katarznu hodnotu v dobe ked fical narative turn.
toho Cubitta som niekde citala ale neviem ci toto :) prezriem
Szcepanika pozdrav :)))) aj mu to mozes posunut od utorka :DD

a ta Oliana je tiez znama, ja som sa uz v prvom semestri studia presytila tymito starymi hypertextovymi projektmi, preto som ako reprezentanta dala Judy Malloy, lebo to je prvy z takych :))
