Hadn't encountered Steppling's blog before, but appreciate having it kicked my way.<br /><br />Not sure exactly how this connects with where I was going (or at least attempting to go) with what I was talking about. Part of which could be boiled down to Rem Koolhaas's remark that "The problem with the past is that there's only so much of it to go around." Which I suppose has to do more with the music end of things. Which I ultimately see as connecting (theoretically, thematically) with certain tendencies in art. Modernism as having once been dismissed in the initial po-mo years, but now increasingly revisited and picked over in often morbid and melancholic way. It seems to constitute a popular subject in the work of more and more artists in recent years. I was glossing over a lot in the above, taking things in such a broad sweep that it probably failed to explain anything in any remotely intelligible way. I imagine I'll be exploring it again later.Greyhooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14161781141733273715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830563225783203492.post-70081867796618644672012-08-29T01:32:29.856-04:002012-08-29T01:32:29.856-04:00Hiya Ralph,

I need a little more time to digest; maybe time to clarify a few points...to see where points converge and/or diverge from what I meant by the above. (Unfortunately, that bottom endnote still applies...time, sleep, and elbow-room for clarity still being in limited/sporadic supply.)

Lacan's mirror showing us Tom Hanks living in a world that is then transcribed onto our own through his verisimilitude. All transgressions and rebellions can be made to conform within this sphere, helps keep all attempts at transgression and simply "other narratives".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
