'no substitute for living'

7/10/2021

0 Comments

 
'It is said that thinking and reading and writing and talking about living is no substitute for living, except that thinking and reading and writing and talking are already life.

These marks on this page/screen are not "not natural".  Both these pecks on the page/screen and the pecks on the bird's nest (outside my window) are natural, where "natural" is a totalizing term for all that is, positively speaking, and which comes to us humans and individuals as most obvious in the most powerful "other" that humans deal with, which are the physical elements, external and internal.'

'rhetoric of conversion' / 'transformation'

7/10/2021

0 Comments

 
'There are obvious lessons to be learned in regard to [the rhetoric of transformation] from religious history and theory in terms of the rhetoric of conversion, which was not infrequently coupled with physical and psychological force, torture, systematic persecution, killing, or some combination of these, including genocide.

Here, however, [this project is] employing the idea more in the sense of William James (1902/1929) of an individual experience [or personal affective transformation], even when there are also social consequences.'

'scope of signs'

'The scope of signs in human culture is vast....  Diachronically, signs may be identified as originating at least by the time we have the first human-made cultural objects possibly 200,000+ years ago.  Synchronically, signs are manifold across the globe, including what one has on one's shelf and what appears in one's dreams.'

'Indeed, it is a strange-disposèd time. / But men may construe things after their fashion, / Clean from the purpose of the things themselves.'
