I keep bumping into literary references, or perhaps they bump into me. Sometimes more literally than literary and so more bumpy than I’d like, or the references are more acutely visceral than I’d prefer. At other times with surprise and delight, or simply as a prompt to overtly read what is sensed, is there.

°Impossible

July 11, 2008

Lauren Berlant writing of potentiality, and the sense of its cut-short incompleteness, turns again around the question of optimism, remarking that the “act of ideation itself embodies the form of optimism”.

°Imprudent writing

February 9, 2008

Adorno’s fragment on writing from Minima Moralia (trans. Dennis Redmond):

Whoever wants to express something, is so carried away that they are driven along, without reflecting on such. One is too close to the intention, “in thought”, and forgets to say, what one wants to say.
