Languages of Fear in Steve Tomasula’s VAS, an Opera in Flatland

[…]and body, one being metaphorized by the other throughout VAS, Square hopes to act upon his body by working on his text. “Just a little editing” is one of the recurring phrases bringing together text and body, this one aimed at belittling the consequences of the operation, seen as but an amendment brought on the manuscript of Square’s body. He tries to become more familiar with the surgery awaiting him by playing on words, their sounds and mutations, as well as by calling upon earlier examples of similar “procedures”, to use the term referring to the vasectomy in VAS. The […]

Riposte to Curtis White’s “The Latest Word”

[…]via apps, from individual artists, like Christine Wilks, and small collaborative teams, like the group behind the narrative-driven audio app for runners, “Zombies Run!” The latter might not qualify as literature or art, despite being co-created by a  prize-winning literary novelist, Naomi Alderman, but the work of the former, including Wilks multiple award-winning piece “Underbelly,” most definitely does. But even “Zombies Run!,” with its fantastically successful Kickstarter funding drive, shows new ways for writing and writers to make their mark – with Alderman’s literary abilities harnessed in this way, perhaps “Zombies Run!” will be included in someone’s idea of a canon, […]

PAIN.TXT

[…]pleasure or pain is precisely calibrated and coded to the information. The pornographic image is coded for desire, the image of a child coded for sympathy. Intense pain is unmeasured, uncoded, and yet utterly consuming for the sufferer. The abjection or terror I feel in the face of suffering may be in response to this “sublime” distance, a sublimity that maps the edges of the network. The sufferer of intense pain who suffers in and through every image and every word is possibly a model of reference, of the mapping of the body to the network. Referentiality is precisely not […]

Espacement de Lecture

[…]of reading and language, it also creates new ones. “Spacing Reading” aims to foreground the critical potential of the shift in dynamics and the capacity it enables to redefine language relations, such as syntax, semantics, translation, genre. I have called this “inextrinsic” because it embodies a contradiction, or tension (“in-ex”); “intrinsic” because it takes the human reader into deep or underlying structures of poetic language invisible before digital media and the virtual; “extrinsic” because this new way of reading then moves to foreground associative, or metonymic, traces. A new Subjectivity in language is glimpsed, while at the same time, language […]

Playing the Blues: Pete Townshend’s Who I Am and Music as Experimental Autobiography

[…]young Townshend to “installations combining vibrant colour, lighting, TV screens, and complex coded music” (56). The American painters Larry Rivers and Ron Kitaj, both of who rejected Abstract Expressionism to create flat, parodist distortions of figuration and realism, teach at Ealing Art College, too. The most influential mentor at school is the Fluxus or Anti-Art figure Gustav Metzger; decades after his Ealing Art College days, Townshend bankrolls Metzger’s first solo show at MOMA Oxford (464). Born into a Jewish family in Nuremberg, Metzger fled Nazi Germany. As an expatriate artist in England in the 1940s and ’50s, Metzger found that, […]

Against an Aesthetics of Disappearance (review of Timothy Melley’s The Covert Sphere)

[…]brief references. It is with this aspect in mind that Melley’s book needs to be approached; the critical tradition that it operates within obviously exists in conjunction to an argument that, on the face of it, submits no clear vectors of resistance. Yet to interpret it in a light of an unhappy but exitless narrative of resignation is to miss the point, which lies less in the articulation than in an application of a process of thought that insists on a critical, uncompromising response to the state of emergency. “[W]e have institutionalized undemocratic means of preserving our democracy” (222): the […]

The Importance of Being Earnest in Flatland

[…]of non-fictional texts. Social discourses are activated to provide the site of Tomasula’s critical intervention. In other words, the decision to cut off the signifier of the severing operation–using “vas” for vasectomy, or in other words, reducing vasectomy to “vas”—symbolically disables the State apparatus organizing the sterilization campaigns, literally depriving it of its capacity to contain people, vasectomizing the vasectomizers, so to speak.  The morphological neutralization of vasectomy by subtraction finds a macro-structural equivalent in the strategic juxtaposition of biopolitical positions and their refutations. Such a layout desemanticizes the aggressive declarations by blocking their full deployment to avoid turning VAS into […]

A World in Numbers: A Review of Michael Joyce, Going the Distance

[…]existence…. (237) Ryan’s observation partially reflects the electronic medium in which he is working—as she notes, “you never know if you have seen all the nodes and followed all the links” (226)—but is just as much a feature of Joyce’s handling of point of view and his use of poetic, suggestive images. In Reading Network Fiction Ciccoricco links Joyce’s claims about contours and flow to the organization of some of his electronic works: “Contours are the shape of what we think we see as we see it but that we know we have seen only after we move over them, […]
