-:Le monde est une souffrance déployée. À son origine, il y a un nœud de souffrance. Toute existence est une expansion, et un écrasement. Toutes les choses souffrent, jusqu’à ce qu’elles soient. Le néant vibre de douleur, jusqu’à parvenir à l’êtreþ: dans un abject paroxysme.+== Présentation ==
 +Composé d'une série de textes courts sur les thèmes notamment de la souffrance et de la [[poésie]], ce recueil est le premier texte personnel de l'auteur. Il paraît la même année que son étude sur [[H.P. Lovecraft. Contre le monde contre la vie|H.P. Lovecraft]].

-:A collection of [[pornographic art]] from antiquity, presented by the French “art historian” [[Pierre-François Hugues d’Hancarville]] (1719-1805). A bit of a drifter, d’Hancarville ended up in Naples where he operated as an amateur art dealer and came in contact with the British ambassador to Naples, [[Sir William Hamilton]] (1731-1803). For a time d’Hancarville worked as an intermediary for Hamilton and assisted him in the acquisitions of various antiquities, including over 700 vases, as well as more risqué objects. Described as a libertine who was in and out of money trouble (as well as prison), d’Hancarville fell into trouble over the publication of his pornographic volumes entitled ''[[Monumens de la vie privée des douze Césars]]'', ''[[Monumens du culte secret des dames romaines]]'', and the work featured here, ''[[Veneres uti observantur in gemmis antiquis]]'', which according to [[Joscelyn Godwin]] were published in 1780, 1784, and 1785 respectively. The works proved popular and spread in both the original French (featured above) and English translation (featured below). As to why the images are presented so small? D’Hancarville states in the preface that at such a size they are closer to the originals and, perhaps more importantly, that they “would have still been more indecent and they been otherwise.”[https://publicdomainreview.org/collections/collection-of-pornographic-art-from-antiquity-1785/]+

-The death of [[William H. Gass]] led me via [[metafiction]] and the [[antinovel]] to the [[anti-fairy tale]] and [[Johannes Andreas Jolles]]+
- +
-:"As Calvin’s doctoral research (2011) makes clear, the [[anti-tale]] has an extant historiography. It is a concept which was, according to [[Wolfgang Mieder]] in [[Donald Haase]]’s ''[[Encyclopaedia of Folk and Fairy Tales]]'' (2008, 50), first conceptualised as the [[Antimärchen]] by [[André Jolles]] in ''[[Einfache Formen]]'' (1930). Study of Jolles’ work has tended to be avoided in light of his later affiliation with the Third Reich but a reappraisal of his earlier writings should now be possible."[http://www.berfrois.com/2011/06/catriona-mcara-anti-fairy-tales/]+
- +
-:"The [[anti-fairy tale]] has long existed as a shadow of the traditional fairy tale genre. First categorized as the ‘antimärchen’ in Andre Jolles’ seminal ''[[Einfache Formen]]'' (c.1930), the anti-tale was found to be contemporaneous with even the oldest known examples of fairy tale collections. Rarely an outward opposition to the traditional form itself, the anti-tale takes aspects of the fairy tale genre and re-imagines, subverts, inverts, deconstructs or satirizes elements of them to present an alternate narrative interpretation, outcome or morality. Red Riding Hood may elope with the wolf. Or Bluebeard’s wife is not interested in his secret chamber. Snow White’s stepmother gives her own account of events and Cinderella does not exactly find the prince charming."

-The '[[Goldfrapp]] Trees'+

-[[Felt Mountain]] Map of Riffelalp+
- +
-WHAT ARE THE GOLDFRAPP TREES?+
- +
-One image of the [[Matterhorn]] endures beyond all others: it shows a hiking trail curving around a mighty pine, and the distant Matterhorn framed by bare angular branches arching out from a tree just in front of the viewer.+
- +
-In the year 2000, this image was used on the reverse of Goldfrapp's 'Felt Mountain' album. In 2003, Phespirit set out to locate the Goldfrapp Trees .....+
- +
-..... and after much searching, he succeeded.+
- +
-WHERE ARE THE GOLDFRAPP TREES?+
- +
-Phespirit found the Goldfrapp Trees whilst en route from [[Grünsee]] to [[Riffelalp]]. Halfway along, the path divides and goes up towards Riffelalp or onwards to Riffelalp Station. Phespirit headed up, towards Riffelalp, crossing over the Gornergrat Railway. Ten minutes along from the railway, there they are: the Goldfrapp Trees, approximately 25m further on from where telephone wires pass overhead.+
- +
-The mighty lone pine is now slightly obscured by a fresh new tree growing in front of it. Also, the younger pines in the distance are much taller, as would be expected. The classic photo is captured by stepping off the path onto a well-worn sandy patch of ground in front of the near tree, about a metre and a half down to the right.+

-''[[Enchantements sur Paris]]'' (1954) is -- along with ''[[Paris insolite]]'' (1952), ''[[Le Vin des rues]]'' (1955) and ''[[Love on the Left Bank]]'' (1956) -- the granddaddy of low life city journalism if you leave out ''[[London: A Pilgrimage]]'' (1872).+
- +
-:"First issued in 1954 under the publisher's choice of title ''Enchantements sur Paris'' (Paris Spellbound)‚ reissued in accordance the author's wishes as ''Rue des Maléfices'' (Witchcraft Street)‚ [[Jacques Yonnet]]'s only published book fits into no single category. Personal diary‚ memoir of some of the darkest hours in a nation's history‚ guide to a city's lower depths‚ ethnographical study of an urban population that no longer exists or has been driven elsewhere‚ record of a number of paranormal incidents and experiences - ''Paris Noir'' is all of these." -- translator's note (Christine Donougher) to ''[[Paris Noir: The Secret History of a City]]''+

-RIP [[Alain Jessua]] (1932 – 2017)+
- +
-''[[Léon la lune]]'' (1956), a film documenting the life of the '[[clochard]]' of the title, was Jessua's first short film and it won the influential Prix Jean Vigo in 1957. The film was inspired by Jean-Paul Clébert's book ''[[Paris insolite]]'' (1952), the first of a series of realist portraits of the underworld in Paris. Clébert’s friends Jacques Yonnet and Robert Giraud wrote their own tales of the vagabond life on the streets of Paris; Yonnet wrote ''[[Paris Noir]]'' (1954), and Giraud’s ''[[Le Vin des rues]]'' (1955). The three frequented [[Chez Fraysse]] on Rue de Seine in [[Saint-Germain-des-Prés]] with [[Robert Doisneau]], not far from Clébert’s other haunt [[Chez Moineau]], the dirt-cheap refuge of bohemian youths and of [[Letterist International]], and which was the subject of Ed van der Elsken’s photonovel ''[[Love on the Left Bank]]'' (1956).+
- +
-Jessua first came to my attention for his "pop art film" ''[[The Killing Game (1967 film)|The Killing Game]]'' (above), a collaboration with the late Belgian illustrator [[Guy Peellaert]].+

The painting is somewhat surreal as the fish (and the lobster to its right) is clearly oversized in comparison to the people in the left hand bottom corner. See [[Surrealism avant la lettre]].

-:"We find ourselves in a bewildering dual world. The world of education is patrolled by the [[gender-studies]] [[thought police]] — witness the departmental interrogation of a teaching assistant at Canada’s Wilfrid Laurier University, [[Lindsay Shepherd]], who had the temerity to show students a TV clip featuring the Toronto University psychology professor [[Jordan Peterson]]. This, she was told, was a violation of WLU’s “gendered and sexual violence policy” because Peterson is known for “[[critiquing feminism]], critiquing [[trans rights]].”+
- +
-:Meanwhile, in the entertainment world, Hollywood continues to churn out movies in which [[alpha-male]] heroes enjoy casual sexual encounters with pouting, scantily clad twentysomethings. Or are we to believe that in the new [[James Bond]] film, Bond 25, a transgender 007 will issue a heartfelt apology for her character’s 64-year career of sexism and sexual harassment? The fact that Bond films are still being made illustrates the extent of the cognitive dissonance at the heart of western civilisation today."+
- +
-:I’m against [[sexual harassment]]. I condemn anyone who abuses their power in the workplace for gratification. So I am on the side of this revolution in manners. My concern is only that such revolutions have a tendency to overshoot. I wonder: do we risk sliding into a kind of secular sharia, in which all men are presumed to be [[sexual predator]]s and only severe punishments can prevent routine rape? Will one-to-one work meetings between a male and a female co-worker soon be a thing of the past? What next? A more general segregation of the sexes? How the [[Islamist]]s must be enjoying all this." --"[[Stop harassment but don’t slide into secular sharia]]" [The new workplace morality is welcome; just keep the thought police at bay][http://www.niallferguson.com/journalism/miscellany/stop-harassment-but-dont-slide-into-secular-sharia]+

-:"It was a European obsession, tied up in European fears of a [[Malthusian]] crisis, which was adopted after a lag by American writers such as [[H.L. Mencken]] and [[Sinclair Lewis]]. [[Baudelaire]] and [[Nietzsche]] were the pioneers, leading their followers to an aristocratic contempt for democracy, capitalism, bourgeois values, and the United States of America. Baudelaire had spoken for example of "a knave in [[Benjamin Franklin]]'s style, the rising bourgeoisie come to replace the faltering aristocracy." A nostalgia for aristocracy bubbled up in the century after 1848, a treason against the liberal polity. Modernism, says Carey, is a literary theory of fascism. One finds it still among certain literary intellectuals, many of whom think of themselves as politically progressive."[http://reason.com/archives/1994/07/01/the-unquashed-masses] --[[Donald N.

-As I told you before, I spent [[User:Jahsonic/Three days in Athens|a couple of days in Athens]]. Following that, I did a lot of reading and research on the history of the archeology of Athens and found out that there once was a [[Frankish Tower (Acropolis of Athens) |Frankish tower on the Acropolis]]; that the Germans started the first archeological reconstruction of the Acropolis in the 1830s; that the 19th century was the age of [[philhellenism]], a blind worship of all things Greek; that two rival groups of archaeologists, in Great Britain James Stuart and Nicolas Revett and in France Julien-David Le Roy, rushed to get an illustrated book on the Greek antiquities on the market which gave us ''[[Ruins of the Most Beautiful Monuments of Greece]]'' (1758) and ''[[The Antiquities of Athens]]'' (1762-1816). +

-De moorden op communistenleider [[Julien Lahaut]] in 1950 en rijkswachter [[Peter De Vleeschauwer]] in 1996, de [[Bende van Nijvel]], de [[Cellules Communistes Combattantes|CCC]], de [[Roze Balletten]] en een poging tot [[staatsgreep]] in 1973 - door sponsoring van [[Paul Latinus]] met zijn [[Westland New Post]], [[Emile Lecerf]] en [[Francis Dossogne]] - zijn enkele zaken die gelinkt zouden zijn aan Operatie Gladio. De onderzoeken hieromtrent zijn nog steeds lopende.+

-Weinige functionarissen beweerden toen iets af te weten van enig top-secret netwerk.+
- +
-* Toenmalig [[Eerste Minister]] [[Wilfried Martens]] tijdens een persconferentie op 9 oktober 1990:+
-''Ik ben al elf jaar premier, maar ik wist hoegenaamd niets van het bestaan in ons land van zo’n geheim netwerk.''+
- +
-* Toenmalig Defensieminister [[Guy Coëme]]:+
-''Natuurlijk is het abnormaal dat ik bij mijn ambtsaanvaarding niet ben ingelicht over dit netwerk. De Koude Oorlog is al lang voorbij en de recente gebeurtenissen in de landen van het [[Oostblok]] tonen overduidelijk aan dat zo’n geheim netwerk volkomen achterhaald is. Het is een [[anachronisme]] dat best kan worden opgedoekt.''+
- +
-* Het [[Agalev]]-[[parlement]]slid [[Hugo Van Dienderen]]:+
-''Dat geheime netwerk deed meer dan zich voorbereiden op de strijd tegen een communistische bezetter. (…) Medewerkers ervan probeerden de vredesbeweging te infiltreren. Bepaalde Amerikaanse groepen zochten toen contact met hen. (…) Een voormalige directeur van het CIA ([[William Colby]]) laat er geen twijfel over bestaan dat hun inlichtingendiensten aan de basis liggen van de netwerken.''+
- +
-* [[Robert Beijer]], een vermoedelijk [[Bende van Nijvel]]-lid:+
-''Er moet een soort organisatie bestaan onder leden van de [[Dienst voor de Veiligheid van de Staat|Staatsveiligheid]], de [[rijkswacht]] en de parketten. De aanslagen van de [[Cellules Communistes Combattantes|CCC]] maakten naar mijn idee ook deel uit van eenzelfde plan. Een van de schuilplaatsen van de CCC werd gehuurd door een broer van een lid van de Staatsveiligheid.''+
- +
-* [[Richard Brennecke]], een ex-CIA-agent:+
-''We hebben de [[Propaganda Due|P2]]-loge gebruikt (...) zodat in de jaren ‘70 het terrorisme kon uitbarsten in Italië en in andere landen.''+
- +
-* [[Leopold van Esbroeck]], voormalig lid Bende [[Philippe De Staercke]] stelt dat voormalig gevangenisdirecteur [[Jean Bultot]] hem begin 1985 aansprak met de vraag toe te treden tot een [[Commando (militair)|commando]] dat tegen een royale vergoeding "schijnovervallen" zou plegen op warenhuizen met als doel een sfeer van terreur te zaaien.+

It's one of these sexual revolution utopian books on erotic art of the countercultural 1960s of which ''[[Eros Denied]]'' (1964) by Wayland Young -- which I reviewed here[http://jahsonic.tumblr.com/post/1474818584/i-finished-reading-eros-denied1-1964-today-i] -- is probably the best.+

-''[[The Darkening Age]]'' (2017) is a book by [[Catherine Nixey]]. It argues that [[Christianity]] wilfully destroyed the intellectual legacy of [[classical antiquity]], by - among other things - closing [[Plato's Academy]] and erasing the [[Archimedes Palimpsest]]. Her argument makes sense. Only later did Christian monks try to recover the [[Legacy of the Roman Empire|intellectual fruit of the classical world]] as was shown in the book ''[[Aristote au mont Saint-Michel]]''.+
