Introduction: Talking/Having Sex parallax,2002,vol. 8, no. 4, 1– 3 Introduction: talking/having sex KurtHirtler,Ola Stahl&Ika Willis In issue 17of the Vertigo comic Transmetropolitan ,SpiderJerusalem wakes upin bed with his assistant, Yelena: ‘What happened?’he asks himself. ‘Well, obviously,I know what happened’. Butwhen she wakes up,Y elena insists –repeatedly– that ‘nothing happened’. ‘I’msticky’, Spiderargues; ‘ Something must have happenedto make me sticky’. ‘Nothinghappened. Nothing at all. Nothing. Nothing!’Yelena reiterates, though,in increasingly largeand messy lettering. 1 If sex is nothad, then, nothing happens,it would seem. This commonplace enough formulationnonetheless perhapsdemonstrates the potentialenormity ofthe task which this issue of parallax has set itself in takingon the title having sex – a word which shouldbe read here bothin the Butleriansense of‘ biological’sex as a dimorphismproduced as the e Vect ofcompulsory heterosexuality andenforced by beingcast as prediscursive in relationto gender, and in the sense of‘ sexual intercourse’as anactivity similarly circumscribed byheteronormativepresumptions aboutwhat itis to‘ have sex’. (These preliminaryand tentative denitions will, of course,be fucked with inthe course of having sex.) Nothing happened ,as asynonym for sex was not had ,beginsto make visiblethe intricate conjunctions ofdesire,signi cation, reproduction,evolution, technology, familialstructures, ‘nature’..., which can always besummonedwhen the term ‘sex’is deployed;it hints ataparticularunderstanding of‘sex’as that which makes itpossiblefor something, anything, everything tohappen. Here we movefrom Transmetropolitan’s Yelena to TheBallad of Halo Jones’s Glyph, a character who has changed sex somany times that ze (it?)no longer registers as human: Downloaded By: [Lund University Libraries] At: 15:32 18 November 2009 Iremember Istartedo V asagirl.That much I’mcertain of.Or maybe Istartedout as aboy.Never mind– itdoesn’ t really matter.The thing is,I wasn’t happyas agirl...uh... or maybe I wasn’t happyas aboy...So I hada totalbody remould that turnedme intoa boy... orpossiblya girl[...] 6 months afterthe treatment Istartedregretting my decision.So I hadanother remould to turn me back towhatever Istartedout as.

Icouldn’t even remember what I’dbeen originally.The doctorswere equallyconfused. Also, my personalityhad been completely erased[...] I wasn’t aboy,I wasn’t parallax ISSN1353-4645 print /ISSN1460-700X online ©2002Taylor & FrancisLtd http://www.tandf.co.uk /journals parallax DOI:10.1080 /1353464022000027902 1 agirl...I was justa cypher, asortof glyph [...]I walked throughthe crowdedstreets andnobody even lookedat me... They juststared straight throughme. It was as ifI’ dsomehow slippedbeneath the threshold ofhuman awareness. 2 A. Gargett’s essay marks outsome lines of ightfrom this use of‘ sex’as dening andcircumscribing the human,in its explorationof the posthumanerotics of Natacha Merritt. Any understandingof sex asthe conditionof possibilityof humanness –with an eye tothe Freudian-Lacanian traditionwithin which beinghuman must be beingsexed – risks operating,as DrucillaCornell puts it in this volume,according to ‘ the need to protectthe law ofsexual di Verence as amatter ofmaking civilization safe for heterosexuality’. According toone all-too-familiar consequence ofsuch a conguration, a strict regulationof sex –technological ifnecessary, butonly insofar assuch technological intervention bringssex intocloser alignment with ‘nature’– is necessary tosecure the futureof humanity:to ensure that ‘nothing’will nothappen. The outcry overthe recent ‘designerbaby’ case in which twodeaf women chose a deafsperm donorto increase the oddsthat their second child togetherwould also bedeaf need only bementioned, I think, in orderto suggest that such deployments of‘sex’are by no means yet defunct. Myra Hird’s careful attentionto biological models begins to solicit –in the Derridean sense ofat once evokingand shaking in its foundations– oneof the couplingswhich underpinsthis progressivist-evolutionaryassumption that ‘nature’will, throughsex, regulatethe reproductionof the species in the directionof ever betterand better organisms:the couple sex and reproduction .Somecrucial groundworkfor a psychic and legal decouplingof these terms has, ofcourse, been laidby Drucilla Cornell, who continues tothink the relationbetween psychoanalysis andlegal andpolitical discourse,and to develop strategies forunderstanding and respecting the sexuate beingof individualswithin ademocraticpolitical-legal system, in aninterview inthis volume.Mary Conway,too, turns ourattention to the di Yculties with which submittingsex tothe law and/orhaving sex as alegalsubject arefraught in her reading of Eight Bullets ,asurvivor’s account ofhomophobic violence. Downloaded By: [Lund University Libraries] At: 15:32 18 November 2009 Which bringsus tothe questionof whether andhow sex, once had– or if had, a questionof conjunctionleft openin the punctuationof Alex Garc ´’aDu¨ttman’s essay, precisely where Spidersought to close itdown (‘ something must have happened’= sex was had=‘obviouslyI know what happened’) –can bespoken. It is clear in Transmetropolitan 17that we are,of course,to understandthat the oppositeof Elena’s words(that is,the oppositeof ‘ nothing’; that is,‘ sex’) did occur inthe space between issues, andit takes only acursory glance at ThePsychopathology ofEverydayLife to warn usnotto believe what aspeaker tells usabouthis, her orhir sex –nor,on the other hand,to believe that aspeaker is not telling usaboutsex, even ifhe, she orze appears tobe speaking about something else entirely. As in TheBallad of Halo Jones , it is having sex that makes communicationpossible; but as in Transmetropolitan it is sex, also,that can make communicationimpossible, by inverting andundermining the meanings ofwords. Introduction 2 Ifwe arenot to repeatthe gesture ofconsigning sex toaprediscursive domain,then, we may have towonder whether andhow languagehas sex: whether andhow sex has language:whether, in short,sex andlanguage can cohabit,and how sex plays througha speaker,or through writing – how sex is reproducedphono/ graphically. 3 Steven Shavirogives us apeepat a phonographicerotic in his Deleuzean reading of Bjo¨rk’s andChris Cunningham’ s videocollaboration, Allis Full ofLove .

Lynn Turner, onthe otherhand, while noless sexually graphic/graphically sexual, examines the functioningof already-establishedrelations,asking whether the couple must submitto the logicof marriage in her examinationof the translationcontract between Derridaand Benjamin. The reference Ihave madeto Transmetropolitan and TheBallad of Halo Jones leads me toconclude byremarking onthe appearanceof apanelfrom HotheadPaisan: Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist onour front cover. In amedium– comics –oftenassociated with the productionand reproduction of heterocentric hypermasculinity, HotheadPaisan’ s creative andrepeated interventions around,precisely, the notionof ‘ having sex’in all its meanings make her the ideal(anti-)cover girlfor this issue of parallax.

  • A Large Crowd Gathers for the Deceased Jeff Elliot's Encore
    A Large Crowd Gathers For the Deceased Jeff Elliot’s Encore Performance It was a pretty big story that Jeff Elliot had come back from the dead. That might sound like an understatement, what with the general lack of real life zombies out there. But he wasn’t a zombie. He had just come back from the dead, at least for a little while. As it turned out, it was a short second run for him, though there were certainly enough witnesses to prove he had been around for a little while. Obviously when the world found out, this strange little case became very big. The greatest scientific minds swept through St. John’s to try to prove this all actually happened, religious zealots declared the event a sure sign of the apocalypse, and a new crop of hotlines surfaced claiming you too could contact your loved one for a short time through them ($5.99 a minute, other long distance charges may apply). But this story is not about the fallout. This story is about that day he returned, and what he did with that little bit of extra time he had somehow staked out for himself. See, Jeff wasn’t a big deal at all prior to his death – he was a Newfoundland based musician who played fairly idiosyncratically and generally mixed with the blur that is the St. John’s music scene. Before he died at age 28, he could regularly be seen on “the deck,” near bars like CBTGs and Distortion and The Bull and Barrel, or smoking outside The Ship between sets, or fighting with Ron Hynes down at The Rose and Thistle.

INTRODUCTION CONCEIVE the joy of a lover of nature who, leaving the art galleries, wanders out among the trees and wild flowers and birds that the pictures of the galleries have sen¬ timentalised. It is some such joy that the man who truly loves the noblest in letters feels when tasting for the first time the simple delights of Russian literature. French and English and German authors, too, occasionally, offer works of lofty, simple naturalness; but the very keynote to the whole of Russian literature is simplicity, naturalness, veraciousness.

  • The Shoes of Fortune
    The Shoes Of Fortune By Neil Munro The Shoes of Fortune CHAPTER I NARRATES HOW I CAME TO QUIT THE STUDY OF LATIN AND THE LIKE, AND TAKE TO HARD WORK IN A MOORLAND COUNTRY It is an odd thing, chance—the one element to baffle the logician and make the scheming of the wisest look as foolish in the long run as the sandy citadel a child builds upon the shore without any thought of the incoming tide. A strange thing, chance; and but for chance I might this day be the sheriff of a shire, my head stuffed with the tangled phrase and sentiment of interlocutors, or maybe no more than an advocate overlooked, sitting in John's Coffeehouse in Edinburgh—a moody soured man with a jug of claret, and cursing the inconsistencies of preferment to office. I might have been that, or less, if it had not been for so trifling a circumstance as the burning of an elderly woman's batch of scones. Had Mistress Grant a more attentive eye to her Culross griddle, what time the scones for her lodgers, breakfast were a-baking forty years ago, I would never have fled furth my native land in a mortal terror of the gallows: had her griddle, say, been higher on the swee-chain by a link or two, Paul Greig would never have foregathered with Dan Risk, the blackguard skipper of a notorious craft; nor pined in a foreign jail; nor connived, unwitting, at a prince's murder; nor marched the weary leagues of France and fought there on a beggar's wage.

    Vladimir Nabokov PALE FIRE BERKLEY BOOKS, NEW YORK To Vera Contents http://www.en8848.com.cn/『原版英语』 1 Foreword 13 Pale Fire A Poem in Four Cantos 43 Commentary 205 Index This reminds me of the ludicrous account he gave Mr. Langton, of the despicable state of a young gentleman of good family. "Sir, when I heard of him last, he was running about town shooting cats." And then in a sort of kindly reverie, he bethought himself of his own favorite cat, and said, "But Hodge shan't be shot: no, no, Hodge shall not be shot." JAMES BOSWELL, the Life of Samuel Johnson Foreword Pale Fire, a poem in heroic couplets, of nine hundred ninety-nine lines, divided into four cantos, was composed by John Francis Shade (born July 5, 1898, died July 21, 1959) during the last twenty days of his life, at his residence in New Wye, Appalachia, U.S.A. The manuscript, mostly a Fair Copy, from which the present text has been faithfully printed, consists of eighty medium-sized index cards, on each of which Shade reserved the pink upper line for headings (canto number, date) and used the fourteen light-blue lines for writing out with a fine nib in a minute, tidy, remarkably clear hand, the text of his poem, skipping a line to indicate double space, and always using a fresh card to begin a new canto. The short (166 lines) Canto One, with all those amusing birds and parhelia, occupies thirteen cards. Canto Two, your favorite, and that shocking tour de force, Canto Three, are identical in length (334 lines) and cover twenty-seven cards each.

  • No Risk Disc
    MANIA NO RISK DISC NONA Nona (Universal) LP, CD Ik durf al vast een voorspelling aan te gaan: de debuutplaat van Nona gaat hoge ogen gooien in de eindlijstjes en heeft de potentie om ook buiten de landsgrenzen een succes te worden. Dat is niet in de laatste plaats te danken aan Nona’s prachtige soulvolle stem met een rauw randje en goed uitgewerkte songs met mooie arrangementen. Al op de opener It’s Allright is goed te horen hoeveel zorg is besteed aan het album. Een strakke soulvolle band. Goede uitgewerkte achtergrondzang en uiteraard ogenschijnlijk met een groot gemak. In de nummers de prachtige stem van Nona. Ook de teksten van waarin de begeleiding klein is zoals in de ballads Nona overstijgen die van simpele liefdesliedjes (‘Lost Sleepwalkin’ en Say You Will waar niet veel meer een in love again/kisses like cocaine’, zoals bezongen gitaar en prachtige strijkersarrangementen (en mooi in het funky Addicted) en vertellen persoonlijke uitgewerkte meerstemmige zanglagen) te horen zijn, verhalen. Het is moeilijk om het album in één stijl te maar ook in de nummers waar de band prominenter vangen want naast veel soul horen we ook duidelijke op speelt zoals het funky Daisy Dukes of Last to invloeden van jazz, rock en r&b.

    “ONE LEG IN ONE, AND ONE LEG IN THE OTHER”: REFLECTIONS OF VERNACULAR MUSICIANS AS MUSIC EDUCATORS By Mark C. Adams A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Music Education—Doctor of Philosophy 2017 ABSTRACT “ONE LEG IN ONE, AND ONE LEG IN THE OTHER”: REFLECTIONS OF VERNACULAR MUSICIANS AS MUSIC EDUCATORS By Mark C. Adams With a purpose of improving the experiences of vernacular musicians who want to become music educators so that more vernacular music-making can occur in K-12 music settings, this study explored the lived musical experiences of two vernacular musicians who successfully became music educators. The two grand tour problems of this study were: 1. To describe how two vernacular musicians navigated their undergraduate music education programs. 2. To describe if/how their vernacular musicianship contributed to their practice as music teachers. Ethnographic techniques were used within the framework of a multiple narrative case study to present the viewpoints of two participants, Carrie and Harrison (pseudonyms). Both were vernacular musicians prior to pursuing degrees in music education. The two participants’ stories revealed that they felt like they were living in two musical worlds. In their undergraduate experiences, participants felt their Western classical abilities were more highly valued than their vernacular musicianship skills, and they did not feel fully supported by faculty musically. In their teaching lives, their vernacular music-making backgrounds manifested through aural learning and rote teaching, creating, and their classroom environment. Participants experienced feelings of being an impostor during their undergraduate experiences, which, particularly for one participant, created fear and anxiety.
