"The wind had dropped, as it so often does in Dublin when all the respectable men and women whom it delights to annoy have gone to bed, and the rain fell in a uniform, untroubled manner."

Die #Herbstferien habe ich direkt mit einer #Studienfahrt nach #Mannheim begonnen. Zunächst war ich in der #Kunsthalle und abends sah ich „#Endspiel“ von Samuel #Beckett im Nationaltheater an. Am Anfang hat es noch kräftig geregnet, aber ich wusste, dass es aufhört, wenn ich in Mannheim ankomme. Und genauso war es dann auch.

Heute #DeutschesTheater #Berlin
ENDSPIEL
von Samuel #Beckett

Zwei grandiose Schauspieler, ein brillierendes Paar - #UlrichMatthes und #WolframKoch in einer Inszenierung von #JanBosse aus dem Jahr 2007. Hat schon seinen Grund, wenn eine Inszenierung nach so langer Zeit noch gespielt wird...
Ein herrlicher Abend, an dem es auch viel zu lachen gab.

Und die Antwort auf die zentrale Frage „Warum dieses Theater, immer wieder, jeden Tag?“ - „Routine.“

In 1965, Buster Keaton appeared in a film written by Samuel Beckett, shot by Boris Kaufman (brother of Dziga Vertov), produced by Barney Rosset of Grove Press. Alain Resnais visited the 1964 location shoot and took this picture.

Available on the Criterion Channel.

November is #NationalCaregiver'sMonth. If you have time to read (or listen to) one #book that magnificently, painfully, and honestly shares the challenges of #caregiving, the complex workings of a #brain with #dementia, and the sheer power of #empathy, read #DashaKiper's #TravelersToUnimaginableLands. You will also learn how #Melville's #Bartleby, #Beckett's #Godot, #Kafka's #Metaphomorphosis, and other works of #literature help us understand #Alzheimer's.

I’ve been on Mastodon for 6 months, just changed servers, and — given the prevalent “this is it” feeling of other Twitter castaways this week — it feels a good time to re-re-introduce myself.

I am a survivor of clergy sexual abuse from Greater Boston — I was one of them kids. My writing sprouts rhizomatically from there and then through autofiction based on 16 years of dream-journaling, episodic dissociation, recalls of abuse, alcohol addiction and recovery, a sensitivity to ephemera and eternal return.

Following a stroke 12 years ago I became a certified personal trainer. Further into recovery I co-hosted wellness seminars for fellow survivors of sexual abuse. Ambulatorily-disabled upon being hit by a 65+mph car 5+ years ago, I now walk with the assistance of a shillelagh. I continue to train in San Miguel Eskrima.

I’m on social media primarily out of concern over COVID and fascism. A recluse, offline I keep to myself. But I’ve also never met a stranger.

“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” — Samuel Beckett

"Life, willing to surpass itself, is the good life, and the good life is the courageous life." — Paul Tillich

"All suffering is formative of the identity that endures it." — Catherine Malabou

"To make trouble was, within the reigning discourse of my childhood, something one should never do precisely because that would get one in trouble. The rebellion and its reprimand seemed to be caught up in the same terms, a phenomenon that gave my first critical insight into the subtle ruse of power: the prevailing law threatened one with trouble, even put one in trouble, all to keep one out of trouble. I concluded that trouble is inevitable and the task how best to make it, what best way to be in it." —Judith Butler

"‘Everything develops, and I myself develop as well; and why this is so will one day be apparent,’ was the formula I was obliged to adopt." — Tolstoy

"I feel that it is necessary and ordained that I should be alone, a stranger and an exile in relation to every human circle without exception." — Simone Weil

"At that stage in a piece of writing where people used to look for explanations, I would like them from now on to find a settling of scores." — Raoul Vaneigem

"The only two things that motivate me and that matter to me are revenge and guilt." —Elvis Costello.

"There is a battle going on, more or less conscious, between Duty and Desire. The part of me which belongs to the world wishes to do its duty : the part of me which belongs to God wishes simply to fulfill what is required and which is un-stateable." — Henry Miller

“I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.” — Albert Camus

Samuel Beckett sends Christmas greetings to his friend Jack B. Yeats in a Dublin nursing home, #OTD in 1956 #JackBYeats #Beckett #Christmas

“What is it that this Dublin air does to these writers?” Fred Warburg, publisher of Orwell and Kafka, but not Beckett, was born #OTD in 1898 (letter rejecting Watt, quoted in Samuel Beckett by Anthony Cronin) #publishing #Secker&Warburg #Orwell #Beckett #Joyce #Dublin

nioques, frisbees e altre deviazioni / differx. 2021

un cenno ai frisbees, di Giulia Niccolai, è anche nel microsaggio che ho dedicato a Carlo Bordini nel n. 76 del “verri” (giugno 2021).
in quella sede ma anche altrove cerco — come sempre — di spostare la riflessione nella direzione del post che si vede qui di seguito:
https://slowforward.net/2021/06/22/una-nota-di-jean-marie-gleize-a-margine-di-una-recente-lettura-al-cipm/

quando si parla di postpoésie ci si può innanzitutto porre all’esterno del rigido circo dei generi letterari; e inoltre risulta del tutto legittimo parlare di qualcosa che implica e assume non soltanto altri abiti, forme, inflessioni, dimensioni, profili, ma infine identità: altri nomi. e idiomi. (si può e forse si deve dire che la dimensione idiomatica qui sopravanza tutte le altre).

quali sono questi altri nomi? questi oggetti verbali non identificati?

(non dico “nuovi”, dico “altri”). (anche se in Italia tutto sembra voler manifestarsi come nuovo, perché perfino la DC ha fatto in tempo a morire ma le forme dell’assertività letteraria ancora reggono).

epiphanies (James Joyce 1900-1904), tender buttons (Gertrude Stein 1914), tropismes (Nathalie Sarraute 1939), notes (Marcel Duchamp, pubbl. post. 1980), nioques (Francis Ponge 1983, Jean-Marie Gleize), proêmes (Ponge), textes pour rien (Samuel Beckett), antéfixes o dépôts de savoir & de technique (Denis Roche), descrizioni in atto (Roberto Roversi), verbotetture (Arrigo Lora Totino 1966), bricolages (Renato Pedio), domande a risposta multipla (John Ashbery; e cfr. Alejandro Zambra, nel nostro secolo), mobiles o boomerangs (Michel Butor), visas (Vittorio Reta), postkarten (Edoardo Sanguineti 1978), sentences (Robert Grenier 1978), subtotals (Gregory Burnham), films (Corrado Costa), schizografie (Gian Paolo Roffi), drafts (Rachel Blau DuPlessis), esercizi ed epigrammi (Elio Pagliarani), frisbees (Giulia Niccolai), anachronismes (Christophe Tarkos), remarques (Nathalie Quintane), ricognizioni (Riccardo Cavallo), anatre di ghiaccio (Mariano Bàino), lettere nere (Andrea Raos), linee (Florinda Fusco), ossidiane e endoglosse e microtensori e “installances” (Marco Giovenale 2001, 2004, 2010, 2010), tracce (Gherardo Bortolotti 2005), prati (Andrea Inglese), diphasic rumors (Jon Leon 2008), united automations (Roberto Cavallera 2012), paragrafi (Michele Zaffarano 2014), incidents (Luc Bénazet 2018), sentences (Cia Rinne 2019), defixiones (Daniele Poletti),  avventure minime (Alessandro Broggi), développements (Jérôme Game), conglomerati (Andrea Zanzotto), saturazioni (Simona Menicocci), nughette (Leonardo Canella), sinapsi (Marilina Ciaco), dottrine (Pasquale Polidori), disordini (Fiammetta Cirilli), spostamenti (Carlo Sperduti), spore (Antonio F. Perozzi). E aggiungerei le frecce di Milli Graffi.

senza contare le infinite modalità (perlopiù elencative) messe su pagina da Perec (le cartoline e le passeggiate raccolte nell’Infra-ordinaire, o le stringhe di Je me souviens). durante una conversazione, tempo fa Luigi Magno ha suggerito di pensare alle stesse cancellature di Isgrò come a dispositivi di questo tipo, oltretutto in forma di ponte fra la scrittura e l’arte. per tacere, in tal senso, delle innumerevoli soluzioni disseminate nel tempo da Emilio Villa: “cause”, “variazioni”, “madrigali”, “attributi”, “phrenodiae”, “méditations courtes”, “videogrammi”, “options”, “letanie”, “sibille”, “trous”, “labirinti”, “tarocchi”, … (tutte forme disperse come, già nel 1949, “i sassi nel Tevere”).
