Surrounded by polytheistic religions populated with a multitude of religious images, the ancient Hebrews somehow divined that the one true God could not be figured, and that images were antithetical to his worship. It's true, of course, and significant, that every known culture has taboos regarding representations qua representations, often but not exclusively iconic figures.(1) But only the Hebrews derived a prohibition on images from the recognition that God is both singular and essentially spiritual, hence resistant to material representation.(2) In the ancient world, images were connected to the divine, either as the privileged route to god's presence, both dangerous and desirable; or as forbidden temptations to idolatry, the worship of "false gods," however defined.

  • Alfred Jarry's Semantics : a Web of Disambiguation, Mirrors, Energy, Machines, and Potential Collisions
    Alfred Jarry's Semantics : a web of disambiguation, mirrors, energy, machines, and potential collisions Linda Klieger Stillman [email protected] Abstract—This paper was given at www2016, Montreal, In order to unpack the links and the leaps that connect Jarry’s Canada, April 2016 iconoclasm and semioclasm, at the time when typewriters were becoming more widely used, to our era of bits and bytes Keywords—web; disambiguation; pataphysics; energy; of information traveling from similar keyboards in a digital machines age, Jarry’s definition of ’Pataphysics is ground zero. Defined by Jarry most rigorously and painstakingly in Exploits & Opinions of Doctor Faustroll, Pataphysician, neo scientific novel, [2] he begins his definition of ’Pataphysics by specifying that “An epiphenomenon is that which is superinduced upon a phenomenon…” and he continues with the ground-breaking assertion that it “is the science of that which is superinduced upon metaphysics, whether within or beyond the latter’s limitations, extending as far beyond metaphysics as the latter extends beyond physics. Ex: an epiphenomenon being often accidental, pataphysics will be, above all, the science of the particular, despite the common opinion that the only science is that of the general. Pataphysics will examine the laws governing exceptions, and will explain IMAGINATION WWW’P the universe supplementary to this one; or, less ambitiously, will describe a universe which can be—and perhaps should be—envisaged in the place of the traditional one, since the Alfred Jarry, in his

    ARTf CULOS RE SENA POEMS BY MANUEL ALVAREZ ORTEGA, BETWEEN MODERNISM AND THE METAPHYSICAL TRADITION FRANCISCO Ruiz SORIANO Poems (2000) by Manuel Alvarez Ortega is a selection of writ- ings edited by Margarita Prieto in Antelia Publishers. The poems were translated into English by Louis Bourne and appeared, for the first time in the International Journal of Poetry, Issue number 2, Spring, 1982. The six poems belong to the book Gesta also published in 1982. Manuel Alvarez Ortega, born in Cordoba in 1923, is one of the most important poets of the post-war Spanish generation. He founded and edited the literary review Aglae in 1949, a progres- sive and liberal journal that was open to poetry with avant-garde tendencies. In this review he publicized the latest French poets whom he also translated into Spanish. His much accomplished translations of Modern French poetry also give him great impor- tance on the literary scene. These include not only the antholo- gies Poesia simbolista francesa (1975), and his recently published book Veinte poetas franceses del siglo XX (2001), but also his work on individual poets such as Andre Breton, Lautreamont, Jules Laforgue, Alfred Jarry, Apollinaire, Paul Eluard, Victor Segalen, Patrice de la Tour du Pin among others. The poetry of Alvarez Ortega falls within the Modern Europe- an movements. For instance he was inspired from outside sources that lead him to re-work worn-out topics with the vision of a Spanish writer who had suffered the consequences of the Civil War and Franco's dictatorship, inner exile and oppression. While other poets returned to a poetry with Neoclassical patterns or a - 93 - ESPANA CONTEMPORANEA poetry of social protest, which meant the establishment of the tutelage of Antonio Machado or Juan Ramon Jimenez, represent- ing a stultifying imitation of fashionable models, Alvarez Ortega was revitalizing the entire Spanish literary scene with his poetry of imagination and vivid metaphor.

  • Douglas Kahn
    This essay is based on a talk given at the symposium, "Static and Interference : The Cultural Politics of Alternative Music", at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, 24 April 1988 . First publication - Art & Text -Sydney) A Better Parasite Douglas Kahn In English there are two general meanings for the word parasite : biological parasites and social parasites . The French have a third : static . In a symposium named Static and Interference, in other words, there's something unspoken lurking in the title, a bug in the metaphors . Static, interference -- these words connote transgression ; the parasite is a helpful reminder that transgression is fueld by sucking . Lately, however, transgression has become genteel, a parasite that grooms its host . Abrasion exists but it won't wear away your teeth ; movement exists but it grows static . There's a better parasite to be had and a fat place for it to leech : the avant-garde . Although it isn't predominantly music this parasite promises rehabilitation if not rejuvenation for alternative music by working toward new arts of sound in general . Alternative music just has to learn how to exploit better .1 The favored transgressive elements within alternative music - noise, pastische and quotation, sampled and recorded sound - contain within them impulses for other arts of sound . The demise of blatant noi=se, the impasse in the use of recorded sound, and the currency of nostalgic pastiche, indicate the pervasive inability to usher these elements past the problematic of music . They rely on some sen=se of extra-musicality, a sign of worldly sound and of the incorporation of the world .

At the same time, a growing body of scholarship has documented the influence of anarchist politics on modernist aesthetics per se, primarily in terms of a shared resistance to representation—a project that Kafka appears not to share, or at least one he pursues in a very different way. This essay redescribes the strategies of representation found at work in novels such as The Trial and stories such as “The Refusal” in relation to anarchism, and thereby to contribute to a better understanding both of Kafka’s political engagements and his unique form of narrative realism.

It first attempts to show the traces of Shakespeare in Ubu the Islamic Azad University, Qom King, and accordingly discusses Jarry’s probable intentions of linking this play to those of Shakespeare.

This paper aims at illustrating 2Department of Foreign the absurd elements in the play first by drawing some examples from Languages, Islamic Azad the text, and secondly by elaborating on the social reaction toward the production of Ubu the King.

  • How Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi And
    FROM IRREVERENT TO REVERED: HOW ALFRED JARRY’S UBU ROI AND THE “U-EFFECT” CHANGED THEATRE HISTORY Lance Mekeel A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2013 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Ph.D., Advisor Kara Joyner, Ph.D. Graduate Faculty Representative Lesa Lockford, Ph.D. Scott Magelssen, Ph.D. © 2013 Lance Mekeel All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor For decades, theatre history textbooks and other influential studies on theatre history have positioned Ubu Roi, Alfred Jarry’s 1896 avant-garde “classic,” as the beginning or originator of the historical avant-garde and precursor to the playwrights considered as part of Martin Esslin’s “Theatre of the Absurd.” Much of this reputation is built on inaccurate accounts of the premiere production, put down by those involved or in attendance, who had particular aims in reporting the event in the ways they did. Those accounts would end up being put to use as the base on which various scholars would establish the premiere of Ubu Roi as the ignition of the historical avant-garde. This dissertation is a poststructuralist historiographical study in which I analyze the various statements made, first by participants and witnesses to the premiere production, and then by scholars and critics who take those accounts as factual, that place Ubu Roi on a path to legitimization and inclusion in the Western canon. In my research, I examine initial accounts of the premiere production, early post mortem accounts of Jarry’s life, the proliferation of the character Ubu in early twentieth century French society, French and English critical and biographical studies of Jarry and Ubu Roi, anthologies and edited collections of Ubu Roi, and reviews and other related materials of several key French revivals and over fifteen English- language revivals of the play.
