Our Wedding Song

fragments, darling
of the cabaret
we set our lives to

clowns watching clowns
who can claim to waltz
with a partner of their choosing
and whose painted faces
set with age

a chance encounter with the radio
transmits itself
across our lives
between our hands and through our mouths.
Prophet of profits and sentimentality.

For you, however, the confetti can fall
in deliberate and beautiful patterns.
For you, I will smile
and wonder at your insight.

Absolutely.

I believe Whorf (the linguist, not the Star Trek character) did an interesting study on a tribal South American language with a concept of time that we can't even begin to express with our vocabulary.

Write about Kripke's "Naming and Necessity", and how it challenges the functionality of aesthetics.

4 pages? Son, you could write a book.

A book centred around person v. person conflict can be summed up in a sentence that mentions those two people and the fundamental problem they have with each other? No shit!

Wow, a decent thread about literature. Who'd've thought it?

Any attempt to realise the mind purely through language is bound to fail, because it's so much more than that. In his pacing and his punning, neologisms and cyclic confusion, Joyce's style in Ulysses gives a wonderful impression. I won't phrase it as saying he gets "close", because that's up for debate, but linguistically he could do a hell of a lot worse.

Yes, but don't forget we're talking about the comic's protagonist here, not the author (though there's an obvious parallel), so the querying of structure holds true throughout, even if it only manifests in the final frame-without-a-frame. I don't see how you could read this as "re-affirm[ing] reactionary vacuousness", as it's quite clearly a satire of both ends of the spectrum.

Oh contraire, dear Truman.

In showing her narrator's insecurity via a dream-state, the scene has an air of self-awareness in its disgust. This knowledge of self in Beaton's drawing allows for self commentary, and indeed self-reflection for the reader. Her response of outright rejection is a self defence mechanism precisely because of the boundaries you point out, but it is consciously acknowledged that this is so.

See you the final sketch of the narrator in bed is below the others? Notice that it doesn't have a frame. The schema of the narrator's world-view have been taken apart by Joyce too quickly to be accepted. Whilst on the surface the narrator act against Joyce, the text as a whole acts against the social structure he challenges, highlighting its rigidity, and perhaps even the tragedy of a drastic indoctrination into a new pattern of thought.

Read Crash before The Atrocity Exhibition, bro, and make sure the latter's the annotated edition - it's exceptionally useful.

Agreed, but Derrida's thoroughly worth it!
