i got soul but i'm not a soldier
Sorry for the abundance of updates; can you tell I have a paper I should be working on?
Actually, I wanted to share ONE sentence from a text I was just reading for said paper, which is on performance and historiography:
"Walking is in fact determined by semantic tropisms; it is attracted and repelled by nominations whose meaning is not clear, whereas the city, for its part, is transformed for many people into a "desert" in which the meaningless, indeed the terrifying, no longer takes the form of shadows but becomes, as in Genet's plapys, an implacable light that produces this urban text without obscurities, which is created by a technocratic power everywhere and which puts the cityi-dweller under control (unde the control of what? No one knows): "The city keeps usunder its gaze, which one cannot bear without feeling dizzy," says a resident of Rouen.
That's one sentence. ONE. SENTENCE.
I hate this paper so much, and I don't even have one word written.
