Beta Version BETA WINDOW ON THE CHAOS INCLUDING HOW I DIDN'T BECOME A MUSICIAN by Cornelius Castoriadis* translated from the French and edited anonymously VERSIONas a public service *“Cornelius Castoriadis” is here a pseudonym for Paul Cardan.** **A Paul Cardan (active 1959-1965) was a pseudonym for Cornelius Castoriadis (1922-1997). BETANOTICE The present volume is offered to readers as a public service in the hopes of encouraging reflection and action aimed at deepening, and realizing, the project of individual and collective autonomy on a worldwide basis in all its manifestations. Neither any website that would make the electronic version available nor any other distributor who may come forward in any medium is currently authorized to accept any financial remuneration for this service. “The anonymous Translator/Editor” (T/E) will thus not receive, nor will T/E accept, any monetary payment or other compensation for his labor as a result of this free circulation of ideas. Anyone who downloads or otherwise makes use of this tome is suggested to make a free-will donation to those who have presented themselves as the legal heirs of Cornelius Castoriadis: Cybèle Castoriadis, Sparta Castoriadis, and Zoé Castoriadis. Either cash or checks in any currency made payable simply to “Castoriadis” may be sent to the following address: Castoriadis, 1 rue de l’Alboni 75016 Paris FRANCE A suggested contribution is five (5) dollars (US) or five (5) euros. The aforesaid legal heirs are totally unaware of this undertaking, and so it will be completely for each individual user to decide, on his or her own responsibility (a word not to be taken lightly), whether or not to make such a contribution—which does not constitute any sort of legal acknowledgment. It is entirely unknown how these heirs will react, nor can it be guessed whether receipt of funds will affect their subsequent legal or moral decisions regarding similar undertakings in the future.* Nevertheless, it is recommended that each user contact, by electronic mail or by other means, at least ten (10) persons or organizations, urging them to obtain a copy of the book in this way or offering these persons or organizations gift copies. It is further recommended that each of these persons or organizations in turn make ten (10) additional contacts under the same terms and circumstances, and so on and so forth, for the purpose of furthering this nonhierarchical and disinterested “pyramid scheme” designed to spread Castoriadis’s thought without further hindrance. * Much Castoriadis material has gone out of print and much more remains to be translated into English, publication projects in which T/E is currently engaged. So far, in addition to the present volume, five other Castoriadis/Cardan volumes (listed below with the electronic publication dates) have been translated from the French and edited anonymously as a public service: #The Rising Tide of Insignificancy (The Big Sleep). http://www.notbored.org/RTI.pdf.

The author discusses the relationships between Shakespeare’s tragedy and Polish political context as well as the influence of audience expectations in the specific interpretations. The selected performances are: Hamlet by Roman Zawistowski (at the Old Theatre in Cracow 1956) and Hamlet Study by Jerzy Grotowski (at the Laboratory Theatre of 13 Rows in Opole 1964). They both were hugely influenced by major commentators of Hamlet, i.e.

  • LOUIS BETTS, PORTRAIT PAINTER of HIGH SOCIETY: the Meadow Brook Hall Portraits of Alfred G
    d LOUIS BETTS, PORTRAIT PAINTER OF HIGH SOCIETY: The Meadow Brook Hall Portraits of Alfred G. Wilson, Matilda R. Wilson, Danny and Frances Dodge, and John F. Dodge Karen A. Morgante Portraiture has a long established tradition in American art. Datable to the colonial limners, portraits were considered a practical mode which enabled an individual to establish his “sense of being” along with ties to his family and position. Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth-century, it was the dominant art form of the middle class Protestant society. As the country grew and prospered, the wealthy merchants and plantation families had their portraits painted in the style of their mother country. Sir Godfrey Kneller, the official por- traitist of the English aristocracy, established the model for the high court style. The Grand Manner was brought to America with the influx of immigrant painters, and gradually, by Amer- ican-born artists who studied abroad. Patrons expected the painter to capture their likeness, as well as suggest their social position. A new realm of portraiture was opened with the advent of the daguerreotype in the nineteenth-century. As the process evolved, photography provided an affordable means for the masses to have their images recorded for posterity. For some artists, the new visual realism of photography was an aid 24 to capturing an individual in action, a thought, a moment in time; other artists embraced new approaches to portraying their sitter in a more creative way. The early twentieth-century found the national and in- ternational scene in a whirlwind; economic, political, social, and technological changes affected society’s way of life and thinking.

He le#t behind an extraordinary legacy of poetry, translation, and cultural criticism that will continue to inspire us and those who follow. We have gathered here today—family, friends, colleagues—to celebrate the life and art of one of the great poetic voices of our time, and to remember the ways in which he occupies such a special place in our minds and in our hearts. —Born in Poznań in 1946, Stanisław, by the mid-sixties had become one of the leading young poets of a protest movement that came to be known as the New Wave. The art produced had to be published under- ground to avoid o#ficial censorship. He notes in an early essay about how this poetry used what he called “contaminated language,” the stifling words of Newspeak, to expose the shallowness and lies of government ideolo$, undercutting the authori% of the regime with its own forms of expression.

  • Seneca Our Contemporary: the Modern Theatrical Reception of Senecan Tragedy
    CHAPTER 13 Seneca Our Contemporary: The Modern Theatrical Reception of Senecan Tragedy Ralf Remshardt When Polish critic Jan Kott published his book Shakespeare Our Contemporary more than fifty years ago, he set in motion not just a theoretical reconsideration of Shakespeare’s relevance in the cultural aftermath of the Second World War but (in a surprisingly far-ranging effect for a literary scholar) sparked count- less revisionist theatrical stagings as well. Forcefully positing a thematic con- nection between Shakespeare and postwar dramatists such as Bertolt Brecht, Friedrich Dürrenmatt, and Samuel Beckett, Kott’s influential readings (e.g., his chapter on “King Lear, or Endgame”)1 led to landmark productions such as Peter Brook’s grimly absurdist take on King Lear (1962). This essay stands in the wake of Kott but attempts the obverse. That Seneca is our contemporary— that he is perceived, in other words, as a pertinent writer whose dispatches from the extremes of the Julio-Claudian Roman Empire speak to our own sense of fragmentation and ethical ambiguity—is manifest in the fact that his plays appear on contemporary Western stages with some frequency, often in tandem with periods of social transition or upheaval. My question here is what the Senecan values might be that communicate themselves most readily to current audiences, and what forms of mise-en-scène directors use to explore them. The question of the plays’ performance in antiquity has remained a kind of parlor game among some Seneca scholars, who have expended much ingenu- ity to prove either that they were intended for production on the public stages of the early Roman Empire, or that, to the contrary, Seneca had no interest in the theater at all, or some contested middle ground: public recitation, private recitation, etc.
