Working notes for coming talks in London */ example tinnitus: gamespace/edgespace/blankspace http://www.alansondheim.org/tinni.png http://www.alansondheim.org/tinni.mp3 (within range) http://www.alansondheim.org/tinni2.png end example (i have continuous tinnitus; the frequences here are within the range; i hear the piece in the form of audio dreamwork, the dreaming of audio conveyances /* gamespace/edgespace/blankspace / semiotic splatter / voice and body of the philosopher / anguish / */so many categories, terms, paralleling Celine, "my little categories"/* gamespace - clean and proper space/body, containment and at the edge, into: edgespace - material-epistemological transformations - improper mappings into no-mappings water into land place into no-place temporality into delay, indeterminacy and at the no-place, into: blankspace - 'heere be dragonnes' - blankspace and the delay 1. arctic travels - summer - supplies : _we wait_ 2. reconnoitres - recuperation - evidence _they wait for us_ 3. voice and body of the philosopher: on and off the trip 4. slow semiotic splatter: anecdotal inflation (Mandeville, legends, etc.) arctic blankspace continuously carved away as exploration increased, legends atrophied, delays shortened. */And the terminal was there as the murmur of the world (Lingis) was there, and present and neither in the background nor foreground, but somehow aligned with the mechanism or the membrane which contained the whole. But the machine itself was not there. And I do not know where the machine was, but it was not within me doing the dreaming (Sartre) but somewhere was. Nor was it a woman or with a woman or a possession of or by the woman./* machine provides the wonts. is it always a return to the body? Cumming, Sartre Critique of Dialetical Reason, '"girls working in a factory are ruminating a vague dream," but they are at the same time "traversed by a rhythm external to them" so "it can be said that it is the semiautomatic machine that is dreaming through them."' 'Similarly the girl in the factory gives herself "to the machine," which takes possession of her work, until finally "she discovers herself _the object of the machine."' 'It is the machine in her which is "dreaming of caresses."' Cambridge Companion to Sartre, ed. Christina Howells --> difficulty locating the quotes -
