Sometimes you don't know what you don't know. As if we could recognize what is off-limits of our own perception of the world. An is therefore scary just for that, for our inability to recognize that which we can't conceive or comprehend.
I know. I am a misery...And it is relieving to see that someone has put into words that which you feel, as if you could recognize them, a shadow that becomes familiar...with its own face.
I have been tired of thinking of otherness and all this terms that apparently stem from feminist theory, but I had some moments of surprise when going deeper into Marxist concepts, specially relating to labor.
Running is this act which relieves you, when you expel yourself mentally and physically, diminishing your very own substance, whilst giving it psychological weight, that of awareness. Reading, conversely, is an act of addition instead of relief, it adds all that is timely into an isolating moment, which allows you to penetrate the page onto something otherworldly, say an abstract order, or a world of ideas, something pure. This practice of addition, an this is where I have been hoping to get to, is a practice that furthers the feeling of self-estrangement and isolation. I feel very ambivalent towards any mention of alienation, since it feels way to walled to communicate the image I am hoping to.
Needless to say that anyone reading (hi robot audience) should note that my academic rigor goes as far as taking philosophical concepts from Wikipedia and recontextualising them into my texts as long as they make sense with their accompanying description. Tough world.
Virno says we need to find a new vocabulary for the multitude, and that this very nomenclature already has a certain set of implications. Surprisingly dense and light at the same time, I feel I would like to gain a better understanding of his arguments. Its a very cacophonic discourse, since it slaps you from every side, as his scheme of references its huge, all over the place; the conceptual purity allows for a discursive logic to run along the book, but here and there they get contextualized, which helps in gaining a better understanding. I do obviously think this is no serious review please.
I am finalizing with the idea of self-estrangement again, which is difficult to replanteate, I mean I am lonely on a projective plane, and feel that the direction I had when younger can't be recovered. Hopelesnnesssss
