Cooper continues under the entry '[[Mandorla]]': "The ''vesica piscis'' or ''[[ichthus]]'', the almond-shaped aureole, the 'mystical almond' which depicts divinity; holiness; the sacred; virginity; ''the vulva''." Also refer to the earlier (1997), now found, parallel piece, The Viginal Mary by Anai Bendai."[http://fraterholme.blogspot.be/2007/07/madonna-code.html]	+

-		+
-	Bronisław Malinowski, Luis Buñuel, and the transvaluation of values	+
-		+
-		+
-	While I was investigating the first comprehensive study on [[Marquis de Sade]], ''[[The Revolutionary Ideas of the Marquis de Sade]]'' (1934) by Geoffrey Gorer, I stumbled upon this quote:	+
-		+
-	:"The natives of the [[Trobriand Islands]] [...] consider [[eating]] as [[private]] as any other [[bodily function]]."	+
-		+
-	I'd heard this before but never before had I considered the rather obvious link to the [[The dinner party scene in 'The Phantom of Liberty' where the guests are seated around the table on flushing toilets |food taboo scene]] in [[Luis Buñuel]]'s ''[[The Phantom of Liberty]]''.	+
-		+
-	I started to investigate.	+
-		+
-	Wikipedia has it wrong, it attributes the following citation to a certain Jenefer Shute, who obviously copied it from here:	+
-		+
-	:"Given the social importance of [[food]], it might seem strange to discover that the [[Trobriand Islands|Trobrianders]] eat alone, retiring to their own [[hearth]]s with their portions, turning their backs on one another and eating rapidly for fear of being observed." --''[[Consuming Passions: The Anthropology of Eating]]'' (1980), p. 8-9, Peter Farb, ‎George J. Armelagos	+
-		+
-	Now, there is only one anthropologist associated with the Trobriand Islands and that is [[Bronisław Malinowski]].	+
-		+
-	First I found this in a 1958 issue of [[The Humanist (magazine)|''The Humanist'']]:	+
-		+
-	:"[[Malinowski|B. Malinowski]] in his opus magnum reports that in the Trobriands males and females may have premarital sexual intercourse but never must they be seen eating together."	+
-		+
-	I then combed through the three books on the Trobriand Islands and eventually found this in ''[[The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia]]'':	+
-		+
-	:"Food is displayed in all forms and on all occasions [...] yet meals are never taken in public, and eating is altogether regarded as a rather dangerous and delicate act [...] the custom of eating in common is limited [...] people retire to their own fireplaces with their portion, each group turning its back on the rest [...] they eat rapidly, no one else witnessing the performance [...]."	+
-		+
-	The photo of the Trobrianders eating seems to contradict what Malinowski says, unless we interpret it that they never ate/eat together in large groups, because the obviously do in small groups (see photo).	+
-		+

-	[[Matins of Bruges]]	+
-	<hr>	+
-		+
-	I only now became aware that [[Austryn Wainhouse]] (1927 - 2014) passed away. He was best-known for translating the work of [[Marquis de Sade]] and the novel ''[[Story of O]]''.	+
-		+
-	It is of course the work of Marquis de Sade that interests us here. It so happens that one of the translations of Wainhouse, ''[[Justine, Philosophy in the Bedroom, and Other Writings]]'' is freely available online. And the most interesting item in that collection is "[[Yet Another Effort]]", perhaps the first piece of writing anyone who wishes to acquaint himself with de Sade should read.	+

-	I believe in the "[[neutraliteitsbeginsel]]" for civil servants. I consider [[LGBT in Islam|Islam as homophobic]] and as queer person do not wish to be confronted with islam-related [[religious symbol]]s. Additionally, Islam to me is the faith which makes live about ten people worldwide live under a [[fatwa]] ([[Muammar al-Gaddafi]], [[Geert Wilders]], [[Jerry Falwell]], [[Salman Rushdie]], [[Taslima Nasreen]], [[Isioma Daniel]], [[Mariwan Halabjaee]], [[Ulil Abshar Abdalla]], [[Farag Foda]] and [[Ayaan Hirsi Ali]]).	+

-	As you may have heard, I have resumed my work as [[pornosopher]] and I am currently writing my master's thesis which investigates whether [[porn can be art]]. In my research I get lost very often (which kind of seems to the purpose).	+
-		+
-	However, it is time for me to stop getting lost, because I have another paper to finish on political myth, a paper which I have tentatively titled "[[Mythe, meute, Europa]]," which translates as "Myth, mob, Europe."	+
-		+
-	Before I start that work, one of my most satisfying finds of the latest obsessive quest: Annie Besant's sublime pamphlet: "[[Is the Bible Indictable?]]" (illustration).	+
-		+
-	Besant asks (in 1877, mind you!):	+
-		+
-	:"Does the [[Bible]] come within the ruling of the Lord Chief Justice as to [[Obscenity|obscene literature]]? Most decidedly it does, and if prosecuted as an obscene book, it must necessarily be condemned, if the law is justly administered." --"[[Is the Bible Indictable?]]" (c. 1877), a pamphlet by Annie Besant	+

-	RIP [[Gillo Dorfles]] (1910 – 2018) was an [[Italy|Italian]] [[art critic]], [[painter]], and [[philosopher]] best known for his 1968 book on [[kitsch]], ''[[Kitsch: The world of Bad Taste]]''.	+

-	He was 107.	+

-	The photo: When I just started buying books, somewhere in the late 1990s, I saw this at Vulcanus, a book store in the [[Volkstraat]] 3 run by a lady named Yvette. I didn't buy the book. I see they have it at my university. Maybe I'll lend it one day.	+

-	RIP [[Linda Nochlin]]	+
-		+
-	'''Linda Nochlin''' (1931 – 2017) was an [[American art historian]] and writer. A prominent [[feminist art historian]], she became well known for her pioneering articles "[[Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?]]" (1971) and "[[Eroticism and Female Imagery in Nineteenth-Century Art]]" (1972).	+

-	I visited the [[Jozef Peeters]] apartment. [[De Gerlachekaai]] 32.	+
-		+
-	The apartment overlooks the Schelde and features artwork by Peeters himself, including [[mural]]s and furniture he designed. Also, there is work by [[Michel Seuphor]] (big personal favorite) and [[Jo Delahaut]].	+
-		+
-	Photo: On the table of the living room: The last book Godelieve Peeters (his daughter who preserved the apartment as [[total artwork]]) was reading before she died. On it are her glasses. It has been conserved as a [[crime scene]]. I imagine her falling dead on her books. There is a letter from [[De Witte Raaf]] under the book. The book is ''[[The Sublime Void]]'' .	+
-	<hr>	+
-	"vrouwen met [[hoofddoek]]en" propageren een [[mensbeeld]] dat de man weinig flatterend is. Niet elke man is een [[MeToo]].	+
-		+
-	Bovendien vind ik de hoofddoek een religieus symbool. En de religie waarvoor dat symbool staat, vind ik fascistisch van inslag. Het gedachtegoed (de vrouwenhaat, de homofobie, het eenheidsdenken) doet mij huiveren. Het doet me denken aan de laatste beweging die de ''[[pensée unique]]'' hoog in het vaandel droeg.	+
-		+
-	Gisteren keek ik nog naar een documentaire over ''[[The Satanic Verses]]'' (1989-2000), eergisteren naar de affaire [[Rudi Carrell]] (1987), ooit waren er de [[Mohammed cartoons]] (2005), de moord op [[Theo van Gogh (film director)|Theo van Gogh]] (2004) en in 2015, het toppunt van [[religieuze onverdraagzaamheid]], de zaak ''[[Charlie Hebdo]]'' (2015). Genoeg is genoeg. Moeten wij met z'n allen het nu de facto bestaande blasfemieverbod accepteren?	+
-		+
-	En liever word ik niet aangesproken op hoe de christenen doorheen de geschiedenis censureerden. Het is uiteraard een schande dat [[Giordano Bruno]] levend verbrand werd en dat [[Galileo Galilei]] diende te knielen in het Vaticaan maar die tijden hebben wij al lang achter ons gelaten.	+
-		+
-	De islam hier importeren is de islamproblemen hier importeren: interne strijd en terrorisme (waar inderdaad moslims zelf wereldwijd de grootste slachtoffers zijn, ze willen allen aanspraak maken op het "[[ware geloof]]")	+
