simulacra and simulation

σκέφτομαι, όταν ολοκληρωθεί η αποκαθήλωση της Ακρόπολης
και η μεταφορά της στο μουσείο, τα μάρμαρα πάνω στο βράχο
δεν θα συμβολίζουν πια την Δημοκρατία, αλλά την Ακρόπολη.

για μια στιγμή νόμισα πως μου ξεκούμπωσες την μεταφορά και ξετύλιξα την παρομοίωση απ'το λαιμό σου, για μια στιγμή (πίστεψα) μια μικρή ελπίδα χαιρετούσε μέσ' απ'την κόρη σου.

Forgiving enables us to come to terms with the past and liberates us to some extent from the burden of irreversibility; promising allows us to face the future and to set some bounds to its unpredictability. As Arendt puts it: “Without being forgiven, released from the consequences of what we have done, our capacity to act would, as it were, be confined to one single deed from which we could never recover; we would remain the victims of its consequences forever.” On the other hand, “without being bound to the fulfillment of promises, we would never be able to keep our identities; we would be condemned to wander helplessly and without direction in the darkness of each man's lonely heart” (HC, 237). Both faculties, in this sense, depend on plurality, on the presence and acting of others, for no one can forgive himself and no one can feel bound by a promise made only to one's self. At the same time, both faculties are an expression of human freedom, since without the faculty to undo what we have done in the past, and without the ability to control at least partially the processes we have started, we would be the victims “of an automatic necessity bearing all the marks of inexorable laws” (HC, 246).

The very early origin of the myth in preliterate times means that during the more than a millennium during which it was to some degree or other part of the fabric of culture its perceived significance can be expected to have passed through numerous developments, in the end losing cultural significance expressed in any ritual and passing into the stock-in-trade of poets and artisans. All extant interpretations are greatly post facto and in greater or lesser degree rationalizations that suffer from very incomplete knowledge of the culture in which it arose. Most have been effectively criticized in the archaeological literature. An attempt to construct a most plausible explanation by locating it in what is known of that culture points, interestingly, to one of the earliest proposals, namely that the Golden Fleece represents the ideas of kingship and legitimacy; hence the journey of Jason to find it, in order to restore legitimate rule to Iolcos.

είναι κάτι στον τρόπο που μαζεύεις
τις λέξεις σου
σαν παιδί που σωριάζει τα παιχνίδια του
που κάνει πάντα μέσα μου
κάτι να σπάει

φόβε μου

(όταν θα'ρθεις,αγκάλιασέ με
με κλειστά της φαντασίας τα μάτια
χίλια πλοκάμια φαλλικά μη δεις
ν'αναδεύουν στα μαλλιά μου΄
πριν απ'την πλάνη, πριν απ'το μύθο
απλώσου σκέψη μου,θυμήσου σάρκα μου΄
από μια στάλα ξεκινήσαμε κι οι δυό μας)
