Desire

Post by e_dog » February 18th, 2007, 4:09 am

She is bored
with being
madly desired.

She wants to
find your want
wanting.

Needs
to be needed
by nothing.

An excitement
in indifference
sophisticated vulgarity.

A bright gloom.
She desires not
to put the heel

In your back
but to be the heel.
Or the back.
I don't think 'Therefore, I am.' Therefore, I am.

Nice work.
Poor Freud he never could figure out what she wanted.

I asked Bracha L. Ettinger.

EURYDICE

image source
Lichtenberg-Ettinger finally lets Eurydice speak, through enigmatic, almost indecipherable images. That is, she lets a certain other, feminine gaze speak - with infinite delicacy and tenderness - of unbearable tragedy. Her aesthetic process is enriched by her work as a psychoanalyst and numerous writings in which she has theorized the subjectivization process of the multiple and divided feminine.

Once upon a time I was very interested in the phenomenology of female spatiality.

Do I still want to know?
If you dissect a bird
To diagram the tongue
You'll cut the chord
Articulating song.

If you flay a beast
To marvel at the mane
You'll wreck the rest
From which the fur began.

If you pluck out the heart
To find what makes it move,
You'll halt the clock
That syncopates our love--Syllvia Plath


Viva le difference!
