Cover of Roland Topor's La plus belle paire de seins du monde. The illustration, by Topor himself, was also used on the film poster of Fruits of Passion.
The title story was made into a short film in Germany in 1990, and is now online[1].
Queen bees and alpha males.
RIP Anne Golon, 95, French author, creator of Angelique.

Jayne Mansfield's dead dog
Today, in the Antwerp used book store In 't Profijtelijk Boeksken, I browsed through a copy of Hollywood Babylon for the first time. In the back of the book, there is a section titled Hollywoodämmerung (referring to dämmerung as in gotterdämmerung). This is the section with all the gore. In that section, a photo of Jayne Mansfield's dead dog (above) taken in the aftermath of the traffic accident which killed Jayne Mansfield.
RIP Pierre Henry, pioneer of French electronic music.

Sylvain Gouguenheim stelt:
- "Op het gebied van de filosofie hebben twee moslims, de Pers Avicenna (Ibn Sina) en de Spaanse Averroës (Ibn Rushd) met de joodse geleerde uit moslim-Spanje Maimonides inderdaad een grote invloed gehad op ons eigen denken. Maar dan moet er wel duidelijk bij vermeld worden dat deze drie geleerden in hun eigen milieu door de overheersende strekkingen van de islam, die nog steeds de overhand hebben, als ketters vervolgd werden en de vlucht moesten nemen naar veiliger oorden.”[2]
I bought a copy of The Embarrassment of Riches (Simon Schama, 1987) on a flea market.

Science in the Modern World is a work by Whitehead in which he coined the term prehension as "uncognitive apprehension." The term embodied is also featured four times in the work.
I'm looking forward to seeing L'Amant double by cult director François Ozon. It appears to be a Brian de Palma-esque update to Dead Ringers (1988) by David Cronenberg.

- "Thus, when the sceptic Zeno [it was Pyrrho, not Zeno] took up the study of scepticism by trying, in existing, to remain unaffected by whatever he encountered, so that when having once got out of the way of a mad dog he confessed, shamefacedly, that even a sceptical philosopher is sometimes also a human being, I find nothing ridiculous in that."

Googling "Arthur Forgeais" and "sexual" brings up the "enseignes érotiques" collected in Priapées
"In his major work on philosophical hermeneutics, Truth and Method, Hans-Georg Gadamer mentions Soren Kierkegaard only a few times. Although those passages are significant, it would be an overstatement to suggest that Gadamer's debt to Kierkegaard is anything like that of his primary philosophical mentors: Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Husserl and Heidegger. "
Rhombicuboctahedron half-filled with water, a detail from Portrait of Luca Pacioli.
I have the rhombicuboctahedron by Leonardo da Vinci tattooed on my forearm.
The words in Rainer Maria Rilke's poem "As long as you catch what you yourself have thrown",(found as an epigraph to Hans-Georg Gadamer's Truth and Method) are reminiscent of René Descartes's hubris-filled dictum that we would become the “masters and possessors of nature” by deploying the scientific method and reading the "Book of Nature".
The poem by Rilke is perhaps best illustrated by French illustrator Grandville's "Juggler of Universes" (above).
"Duty! Wondrous thought, that workest neither by fond insinuation, flattery, nor by any threat, but merely by holding up thy naked law in the soul, and so extorting for thyself always reverence, if not always obedience; before whom all appetites are dumb, however secretly they rebel; whence thy original?" --Immanuel Kant (from Metaphysics of Ethics) , cited in in The Descent of Man
"Alles vorauszusetzende in der Hermeneutik ist nur Sprache" --Friedrich Schleiermacher
La Danse, vandalized version, with black ink thrown over the statue.
I forgot where I found this image, but it was on Archive.org.
I'm trying to write a paper on existentieel-hermeneutische ethiek (existential-hermeneutic ethics). This means Gadamer (who, according to professor Johan Taels, bases his ethics on Kierkegaard's. We are also reading Kierkegaard's Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments.
I stumbled upon Kant's notion of the "Hang zum Böse" (propensity or proneness to evil), a concept put forward by Immanuel Kant in Die Religion and elsewhere.
It reminds me of the notion of the "imp of the perverse".
"Imp of the Perverse", so it seems, is is also the title of a 1927 painting (above) by René Magritte. It belongs to a series of five paintings the Belgian artist devoted to Edgar Allan Poe including The Fall of the House of Usher (1949) and three different paintings all entitled The Domain of Arnheim.

I'm currently reading Art & Pornography: Philosophical Essays (2012)
On the cover is André Masson's Terre érotique [7]
I'm currently reading Art/Porn, in which I first expressed an interest in 2013[8].
My first impression?
I'm mildly interested by Pliny's mention of youngsters trying to copulate with the Aphrodite of Knidos, leaving a stain on it, which reminded me of the sex with buildings scenes in Hypnerotomachia Poliphili[9].
- "Hegel, as we remarked in the first chapter, pronounced the Greeks "not mistaken" in representing only the heroic male nude and in not depicting the inherently sexed female nude." p.62
- "It is in this way that photographic pornography plays an unacknowledged role in the debate between painting and photography in the nineteenth century." p.62, see beaver shot
- Nudes ez 14 (1999) [10] is a work of art by Thomas Ruff.

"ekelhaften Mischmasch" "praktische Weltweisheit" --Gadamer citing Kant in “On the Possibility of a Philosophical Ethics, " in Hermeneutics, Religion, and Ethics, 20–21. 77.
“On the Possibility of a Philosophical Ethics," which has probably provoked the greatest reaction, Gadamer plays Aristotle off against Kant.5 It would be a trivial misunderstanding, however, to read this essay ...
Men wordt tegenwoordig schrijver door te lezen, niet meer door zijn originaliteit. En mens wordt men door anderen na te apen. Men is net als al die anderen en ergo is men mens! --Kierkegaard

"Woman leaning against a chair on which another woman is smoking a cigarette"
I'm currently reading Hard Core: Power, Pleasure (1989). What a remarkable study. Linda Williams single-handedly started the whole trend of the an academic study of pornography. The publication is pretty audacious, using the loaded word hardcore in its title. The cover itself looks like a lurid sex novel, with the eighties Miami Beach art deco lettering popular in many porn films that this book reviews.

- "The German poet Morgenstern once said of seagulls: "Die Mowen sehen die aus, als ob sie Emma hiessen. ... The sound of "Emma" as a name and the visual appearance of the bird appear to me similar. Another example is of my own construction: when asked to match the nonsense words "takete" and "maluma" with the two patterns shown as Figs. 18 and 19 ..." --Gestalt Psychology - Pagina 133 Wolfgang Köhler
- "Köhler's own contribution to the intimacy of sound and meaning consisted of an experiment in which subjects were asked to match the pseudowords “maluma” and “takete” to the visual forms depicted" --The Unity of the Senses: Interrelations Among the Modalities

Art and Pornography (2015) Edited by Hans Maes and Jerrold Levinson
- Alors, aux soirs de lassitude Tout en peuplant sa sollitude Des fantômes… Als in Brassens’ "Les Passantes", ontvouwt zich in de laat-kapitalistische beleving van de pornografie een nostalgische inertie. De 15-minuten "achter gesloten deuren en verduisterende vensters" als symptoom van een aanhoudende psyche van zonde en schaamte geratificeerd door een veralgemeende, winst-maximaliserende consuming desire. Daarbij gaat de utopie van de pornografie als onuitputtelijke speeltuin van generositeit, verkwisting, en rollenspel volledig aan ons voorbij en worden de kritieken van de pornografie bevestigd en herhaald in haar gebruik. Wordt deze utopie gered in de artistieke verbeelding van de pornografie?

I watched The Piano Teacher (2001) by Michael Haneke.
- Walter Klemmer: [reading the teacher's letter] "On the contrary, if I beg, tighten my bonds, please. Adjust the belt by at least two or three holes. The tighter the better. Then, gag me with some stockings I will have ready. Stuff them in so hard that I'm incapable of making any sound. Next, take off the blindfold, please, and sit down on my face and punch me in the stomach to force me to thrust my tongue in your behind."
I watched The White Ribbon (2009) by Michael Haneke. A very powerful movie. Just like Caché (2005), it has more than an open ending, you feel like you are not being told half the story. You also feel that the director know all and tells you nothing.
The film suggests that children can be cruel (Lord of the Flies) but it is certainly not just another devil-child film.
Above is one of the more cruel scenes of the film, in which the doctor tells the midwife he no longer wants her.
The whole scene is here[20].
