I watched The White Ribbon. A very powerful movie. Just like Caché, more than an open ending.

It is suggested that the children can be cruel (Lord of the Flies) but is certainly not just another devil-child film.

There is an corbel (French: cul-de-lampe) at the Bourges Cathedral which is depicted in L'Art profane à l'église[5] but which had been more pleasingly depicted in Histoire de la caricature au moyen âge et sous la renaissance [6] (above).

It is commented upon in Michael Camille's essay, “Dr Witkowski's Anus: French Doctors, German Homosexuals and the Obscene in Medieval Church Art” published in Medieval Obscenities, p. 31.:

"The most startling interpretation of this lonely ecclesiastical anus[7] is by a man who can be described as the first great iconographer of the medieval obscene, G. J. A. Witkowski in his L'Art profane à l'église."

See medieval erotica, medieval satire.

A Million Ways to Die in the West

Of late, I find myself regularly at the cinema.

The last film I saw was The Handmaiden by Park Chan-wook of Old Boy fame.

The film is inspired by the novel Fingersmith by Welsh writer Sarah Waters.

The character of the uncle (in Fingersmith Christopher Lilly, in The Handmaiden Uncle Kouzuki) is a man obsessively collecting and indexing pornography and works about human sexuality is based on that of Henry Spencer Ashbee who famously said of erotic literature: "Better were it that such literature did not exist."

In one particular sequence, Marquis de Sade is mentioned (Sade-esque).

The sex in the film failed to excite me, with the notable exception of the tooth file sequence (film still above).


George Simenon's Act of Passion, John Dos Passos' 1919, Salinger's The Catcher In the Rye, Jean Paul Sartre's Intimacy, Evan Hunter's Blackboard Jungle, and James Jones' From Here to Eternity

Brutalist Imaginary building from the film High-Rise.

High-Rise reminded me of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (the total disintegration and dissolution of things) and Shivers (highrise as allegory for the rest of society).

This Brutal World (2016) is a book by Peter Chadwick published by Phaidon Press.


The Bellows Repairer[14] is a copy after a lost work by Hieronymus Bosch in the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts Tournai (attributed to Cornelis Massijs).

It may interest readers of Zola's L'Oeuvre to learn about one of the characters, who perforce sat for his portrait in that clever novel (a direct imitation of Goncourt's Manette Salomon). Paul Cézanne bitterly resented the liberty taken by his old school friend Zola. They both hailed from Aix, in Provence. Zola went up to Paris; Cézanne remained in his birthplace but finally persuaded his father to let him study art at the capital.

In a defense of enactivism, representationalism is shunned. Representationalism reminds me of Chomsky's universal grammar (and this in turn reminds me of Stanislas Dehaene's experiment on the number sense in animals) Where does Chomsky think the universal grammar originates, if not in evolution. Was it a quantum leap, some sort of miracle? I am reminded of the dog food anecdote in which was argued that people don't just eat food, but also words. I would say that they do not eat words, but mental content.

Is enactivism not a new version of psychological behaviourism?

In Astronomiae Pars Optica Johannes Kepler also extended his study of optics to the human eye, and is generally considered by neuroscientists to be the first to recognize that images are projected inverted and reversed by the eye's lens onto the retina. The solution to this dilemma was not of particular importance to Kepler as he did not see it as pertaining to optics, although he did suggest that the image was later corrected "in the hollows of the brain" due to the "activity of the Soul."

The Reading Room by Johann Peter Hasenclever

Un nouveau dans la ville at first appears to be a variation on the theme 'evil/mysterious visitor' (cfr Pasolini's Teorema and François Ozon's Sitcom) but is not.

This is how it works, a stranger comes to town, you start to sympathize with him despite of his awkwardness, you start feeling sorry for him. You think that the whole town will be punished because of the stranger. In the end, it appears that the man is not as harmless as you think and he is shot by the mafia.


La Fiction du politique is a text by Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, available in English as Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, Heidegger, Art, and Politics: The Fiction of the Political.


Like most other sociologists of religion of his day, Berger once predicted the all-encompassing secularization of the world. He has admitted to his own miscalculations about secularization, concluding that the existence of resurgent religiosity in the modernised world has proven otherwise. In The Desecularization of the World, he cites both Western academia and Western Europe itself as exceptions to the triumphant desecularization hypothesis: that these cultures have remained highly secularized despite the resurgence of religion in the rest of the world. Berger finds that his and most sociologists' misconsensus about secularisation may have been the result of their own bias as members of academia, which is a largely atheist concentration of people.


"In 2005 Habermas delivered a lecture on the occasion of the Holberg prize which then became an article in 2006. See “Religion in the public sphere” by J. Habermas, in European Journal of Philosophy 14: 1-25. The core of that essay is that “secular citizens in Europe must learn to live, the sooner the better, in a post-secular society and in so doing they will be following the example of religious citizens, who have already come to terms with the ethical expectations of democratic citizenship. So far secular citizens have not been expected to make a similar effort.”" [26]

Everyone who tries to run away wades through swamps all night, only to find himself (at dawn) back at the gates of that very same mill.

Why, he wondered, would anyone haul heavy stone boulders, erect immense buildings, or carve all that, in such a forbidding and almost lifeless place?"[27]

According to the legend, as his eyelids hit the floor the first tea plants sprang up, and thereafter tea would provide a stimulant to help keep students of Chan awake during zazen.

I recently met a woman who is into conspiracy theories. I'm not fond of conspiracy theories (think the Zeitgeist rubbish). Why invent injustice when the world is riddled with very real injustice already? By coincidence (or was it? haha) a week later, I stumbled upon "Living in an Unreal World"[31] by famed and brilliant documentary maker Adam Curtis, whose The Trap,The Century of the Self and The Power of Nightmares I had seen and admired. So I decided to check some of his recent work.

And so it came about that yesterday I watched Bitter Lake and for the first time I was disappointed by Curtis' work. It struck me as an arty and well executed conspiracy theory film.

So I googled "conspiracy theory" and "Adam Curtis" and found this "The Loving Trap"[32], a Bitter Lake spoof by a certain Ben Woodhams who described Bitter Lake as the ‘televisual equivalent of a drunken late night Wikipedia binge with pretension for narrative coherence’. I see his point but remain a loving fan of Curtis' work.
