Readers
be invited to play pathologically, swirl and drift, with
words floating just out of reach. Speaking randomly with
the dead and living deeds, entertaining living, herein
be our agora.
Pathology- word bound. Aristotle’s trio of rhetoric: ethos,
logos, pathos (shape, sign, sentiment) more generally
extends to communication; that which we share. Finding
resonance in existence prior to essence, to which Sartre urges us, we predict naught from
prescribed pulpits, but rather contemplate continuously
towards confirmations and reconfirmations. That eventually,
pathos and logos became bound as pathology is not predicate,
that is proclamation, yet predicate of action—that which
travels along with action.
Action in
the Academy thus cannot be simplified as verb or gerund;
action extends to include all that which travels with
action. This most certainly includes text, symbol, reason,
logic. This as well includes emotions that bring being
to being each instant. Thus be invited, participate,
alongside poetic and philosophic ruminations willingly
wandering up and down words, alongside publish or perish,
familiar-unfamiliar twirls lift and lull along. Let us
together go in fourteen different directions.
[i]
Language:"One fine morning in the month of May an elegant
young horsewoman might have been seen riding a handsome
sorrel mare along the flowery avenues of the Bois
de Boulogne." Is this one sentence, infinitely
crafted by Camus’ Joseph Grand, enough? In our age
of optimism, where good trades for better daily round
free markets, sufficiency exists only as growth; production.
And why do w.i.e jot notes, compose posture, edition? Return, that turning back, over, once
again... Here, is no such ‘thing’ as enough; enough
is only satiated with end, which is but death. Any
other end; contrivance, calculus, Platonic cave dwelling
conception of end, if not stultifying, is but ruse.
“Everywhere,
the desolate edges of things,
Leaves,
stalks, the old trellis: they want to haul themselves
Up
onto the frame of your mind. Become more than they
are.”
—Sinclair
(17)
Figures,
pervasively clambering up mind throughout this document
are modern history’s production of monuments; reminders
(Foucault, 7). And w(i)e return again to production…-duction
forth! And as w/i/e educe, reducing seduction, edges
be/come ledges…leading; whether out or to or forth…and
so we turn, return to thought(s)…master slaves as
Hegel thought(s), slave masters as others will/have
thought(s). To produce pathology, this journal asks/reminds/invites
us to…so shall we sell pathology…sink pathology…down
the river?
What
happens to philosophy in The Academy? What happens
to poetry? From moments to monuments, what becomes
of thinking (moment from sense of movement, monument
from mind and thought- must w*i*e be forced into
this double-bound choice)? For Heidegger and Arendt
to philosophize was, “an activity, an event, of radical
presence and a condition of awareness where the thinker
was in a kind of dialogue with Life or Being itself.
To think in that sense was [...] to dwell in the
moment and to think from (and not over) a lived experience by a kind of 'letting-go-and-letting-come
attitude,' where individual ego and will are transcended
and where something bigger than the intentional ego
and rational cognition emerge” (Hansen, 2). What
shape will this life-infused dialogue take? Can we
qualify thinking as either poetic or philosophic?
Line
to line...piles...poem...tractus...production…
Aristotle created constellations, elements
of inter-rationality; Platonic heritage leaves otherwise,
yet retains (returns upon itself) with such alacrity.
Aristotelian Rhetoric (apart from judgement) delineates
three nebulas (concepts on planes of immanence) in
Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. In proposing this triad,
dynamism is welcomed. These are no longer ideals
like Good or Beauty, with their counters; here is
fluidity. To have fluidity, life, life-force, is
to be; so being as being is always also making and
feeling (as ethos to logos to pathos).
Consider words.Bespelled is not located in any dictionary,
yet when Googled, it brings up many hits. How is
it that words seep in and out of recognition, from
moment to monument to moment? There exists due process
for new dictionary entries, yet this is already codified
and commodified. Ironically, even “the authority”
on words buckles before living language. If a word
is “misused” consistently enough, its dictionary
definition changes; emergence becomes definitive. Is dictionary thus gatekeeper, judge and jury? Official
words have titles, are entitled, to be. Unsanctioned
words live abandoned; without logos, yet within speech;
returning to memory before words, in time, front
of, prior to. “For
a dreamer, a dreamer of words, they are all swollen
with insanities."
(Bachelard, 1964, 17). Freedom to dream, reverie
possible, yet not unbridled; insanity as unlined
line. “Words she's never said reshape her lips
for ever” (Bringhurst, 1986, 57). Words are
always ungrounded, they are liberation, freeing
us from body, mind, spirit…un-caged as wind, anarchic
and meaningful (only possibility of meaning). “A
great verse can have a great influence on the soul
of a language. It awakens images that have been
effaced, at the same time that it confirms the
unforeseeable nature of speech. And if we render
speech unforeseeable, is this not an apprenticeship
to freedom?” (Bachelard, 1964, xxvii)
Words
in books lay only in relation to senses, sense drawing-in,
inhaling, inspiring…words heard or words read move,
physically and extra-terrestrially. Speech binds:
earth-air, words are ether-ephemeral-dancing us and
danced by i-words are stoned-chiselled, monumentalized
us-i.
“It
is a struggle to believe I am writing to some else,
to you, when I imagine the spectral conditions
of your existence. This work has allowed you to
exist, yet this work exists
because
you are translating it. Am I wrong? It must be
early morning as you write…
You
must imagine yourself asking the question: which
of us has sought the other?”
—Strand (4-5)
Is
permission required? As long as w,i,e have something
to say, w(i)e will always try? How to not forget
these are only tools available for bringing form
to contemplation, where conveyance matters? W*i*e
come upon text, face to face with thinker’s words.
Do these words think for us-me? Do these words form
m(us)e? Our mind does not mind, as long as w(i)e
a(re)m aware of what they-are-doing. W<i>e
let them.
“Though
I am reaching over hundreds of years as if they
did not exist, imagining you
at
this moment trying to imagine me, and proving finally
that imagination
accomplishes
more than history, you know me better than I know
you.”
—Strand
(2)
As I sit here and you sit there and together we write
this piece. Meaning will be made one way
or another. Are we doing it wrong? W.i.e have come
to text(s) to allow them to think with me, for
us? How can I stop these words swollen with insanities
from dreaming (with) me; from me dreaming within?
“Maybe
my voice is dim as it reaches over so many years…
erased and joined
by
events and lives that become one event, one life;
even so, my voice
is
sufficient to make The Monument out of this moment.”
—Strand
(2)
Socrates’ philosophy unfolding, releasing
its power? Homer’s poetry versed in pre-literacy?
Thrown w.i.e make in wit, playfulness, and wisdom.
W!i!e turn, never turning(to)essence, always making
essence be. To proceed otherwise is to limit poetry
to Poetry and philosophy to Philosophy; no moments,
only monuments.
W-i-e a(re)m
here to find writers/thinkers, (my)(our)self. W[I]e enter
text aware, “that it is impossible to fully enter
a text (even one’s own) no matter the language or
century [...] it is, nonetheless, possible through
reading and re-reading, to find a place for oneself,
to stand as it were as if perpetually stuck, in some
doorway which opens out onto those great works” (Pain
not Bread, 2001, 123). When reading someone’s
ideas W.i.e cannot tell what those objects mean in
general, because they always mean particularly for
m(us)e. WIE stand on threshold; looking out
onto...stepping over...backing up….
W!e
are curious if wIe can claim beliefs as certainty; re/turns to Socrates; who did not write. Translation (w.i.e can
only know what they mean, through their words, once
removed meaning without words)? “There is nothing
beyond texts except the will to express, that is,
translate” (Ranciere, 1999, 10). To put down thoughts
on paper only approximates thought: making moments
for dwelling, making moments of monuments, momenting
moments. Being as dwelling pursues monument-god-head; poiesis explodes
moment.
Attempts
at evoking essences, revolving around verb-ness,
seem/(dis)appear to express malleability/mutation
of concepts. Herodotus used philosophein as desire to find out. Philosophia as much connotes love
of exercising one’s curiosity and intelligence, as
love of wisdom (Edwards, 1972, 216), and thus
reunites with poetry as/in poiesis. Words mean whatever
w/i/e want, for w(i)e are makers. Why do such thoughts
un/settle?
Playing with language is to expose
limitations.
Words
not taken seriously, while grasping
for
serious things.
Are
w.i.e just kidding? Some trickery, perhaps? These
words are constantly in danger of reveries; w*i*e
are too. Our words have already hijacked us, and
you reader, so patient, w{i}e commend you. Perhaps
you are not looking for logical argument, otherwise
you would have left the premises a-while-back; w<i>e
have left all premises stranded-in-winds.
[ii]
We: W>i/e have been
anxious lately how philosophic space differs/defers
from poetic space? This paper entertains
both, I and we, poetry and philosophy, as valid conveyors
of collaboration. Creation, making-of-being, as I,
as we. As this project evolves shall you respond…?
Collaboration is born, and reborn-in-return.
“Poetry
is the musical density of being…” (Bringhurst, 1986,
p.10). And philosophy? As Poetry is not poetry, Philosophy
is not philosophy; can w>i<e claim certainty
in emerging? Uncertainty creates. Certainty gains
tenure, status promotion, power. “No instruction
is certain, no knowledge complete” (Bringhurst,
1986, p.15). How to reconcile academia; heal cognitive
schizophrenia; escape emerge(nt)(cy) ward; (emergence)
(create)?
Claims
to wholes and halves present stagnant return, Derrida’s
gift uncovered. Turning towards poles, considering
boundaries as limits to wholes, a dominant understanding. Herein suggests each
and every instant, moment, whatever Time-God you
pray to, as intermingle(d). Imagine possible foldings
for yin-yang, still conferring wholes and parts,
subject-object, poles-particles, but never showing
limits, never offering shore from which to navigate. Ends
curling into ends, as smoke-rings. Absurdity ties
names to works, as-if all were not collaborative.
Nietzsche’s Will
to Power falters perhaps in association with one prior to another; that is
individual over collective, or culture. History
reminds us of this, as le petite histories and les grande narratifs, as moment and monument, as poiesis/sophia and Poetry/Philosophy. Lyotard’s paralogy scents shoreless navigation; not denying vessel (language), yet denying
shore as refuge or firmament. Heidegger’s claim
(1977), “Being itself is essentially finite and
reveals itself only in the transcendence of Dasein
which is held out into the nothing…” leaves readers
with hope! Ha! What hope in dread proposed as definitive,
entire matrix of theory?
Why
should we=I be concerned with Heidegger’s Anxiety?
From this example, we+I may sense instantiation,
gaze towards positioning, relation.
Our
standing, our under-standing, all-knowledge, epistemology,
seemingly relational; to collaborate, weave together,
not words, thought, being, not naught; as return,
flection-bending and vibrating.
Collaborative-life
lives interstitially (1603, from L. interstitium "interval," lit.
"space between," from inter- "between" +
stem of stare
"to stand" (see stet). This is wildly relevant to lived life, Being
and Nothingness, collaboration. W>i<e return
to anxiety/dread; inviting pathos to ethos via logos–rhetorical
triad collaborating, re-iterated. Even if w.i.e might
conceive of more than triad, this seems uninteresting,
for with these three named, logos conferred in stone,
burnt in chip, pathos and ethos find welcome. These
three play, not as rules read, but rather, as Gadamer
(2004) reminds, as light, as w[i]e too play. Delight
in play, light-dance leading away, distracting, re-collecting,
returning, possibility for will-to-collaborate. Becoming
(longing) for ideals such as pathos, ethos, and logos
may be dwelling or making. Godheads leave us sans pathos,
trapped in logos, attempting to solidify ethos.
Once
contemplation captures, position freezes, and flow,
even-if explosive, exists in tension. Anxiety permits
movement as pain-anguish, despair-forlorn, joy-celebration.
Psychology pathologizes, permitting logos to rip
pathos from ethos. Ethics is shape torn from pathos.
Rhetoric becomes odious, longs for its own demise,
as separation from dialectic sets; imposition/immobilization.
No decry of value here; w*i*e quest shorelessly.
[iii]
Have: Skolimowski
(1994) holds that, “in receiving reality or any aspect
of it, the mind always processes it. In processing
it, the mind actively transforms reality,” (16).
What reality? Whose reality? I-reality; we-reality;
my-words; w(i)e wor(l)ds.
Nietzsche
(2006) criticises philosophers: “Philosophers have
had (1) from time immemorial a wonderful capacity
for the contradictio in adjecto (2) they have always trusted concepts
as unconditionally as they have mistrusted the senses:
it never seems to have occurred to them that notions
and words are our inheritance of past ages in which
thinking was neither very clear nor very exact. [...]
they must no longer allow themselves to be presented
with concepts already conceived, nor must they merely
purify and polish up those concepts; but they must
first make them, create them, themselves, and then present them
and get people to accept them”(Nietzsche, 2006, 409).
What is this making/poiesis/creating he talks about?
If
Deleuze’s and Guattari’s idea that “philosophy is
the art of forming, inventing, and fabricating concepts”
(1994, 2) is acceptable, is there A responsibility
to reality w-i-e create? Realities we transform;
processes that tranform us, are in us. Once A concept
permeates people’s consciousness it enters, starting
to create, re-create, re-partition, re-articulate
reality. Philosophy may not be what w'i'e just said,
Deleuze & Guattari said it is, but now that they
have said it, it IS.
[iv]
Learned: “We have to understand the artistic process not only as an attempted
solution of a paradox, but as the paradox itself. What
one knows, one cannot say, and once said, it is no
more the same” (Hess, 1974, 55). What w(i)e say/write
is only an approximation of what w{i}e thought; stylized
calligraphy approaching the unnameable; calculus of
history; moment-monumentalized, w<i>e live in
wake’s reverberations.
[v]
Have
Learned: Time
keeps on slipping, into the future…past, present. Slip
differs from step or hop or skip; slip retains contact,
analogical not digital, continuous not uni(t)fied.
Much thought occurs around time and temporal context:
Einstein’s relativity, Heisenberg’s uncertainty, Heiddegger’s
da-sein; yet clock’s tick, LCD flicks, seconds bill.
P(p)oetic
and P(p)hilosophical spaces, personal and communal
places; “…final judgement on a specific philosophical
problem cannot be made at any level higher than that
of the intuitive judging consciousness of the individual
[...] There is no specifically philosophical faculty
of the mind in which or through which a dilemma can
be finally, once and for all, solved...” (Poole,
1972, 143). Return to classroom-concepts:
Aristotle’s—substance
Boccaccio’s—ottava rima
Descartes—cogito
Keat’s—negative compatibility
Kant’s—condition
Freytag’—catastrophe
Bergson’s—duration
Brecht’s—epoch
Buber’s—I-Thou
These
individual, laborious creations, Deleuze and Guattari
remind us are dated, signed, and baptized concepts
(1994, 8). Seemingly, uniqueness attributed to
concepts paints them as works of art. Our classrooms:
conceptual museums? W>i<e gaze at what w]i[e
can through conveyed text-ure, words layered by creators
for our interpretations. Academy as museum? W}i{e
walk through, with eyes on Exit; eyes on Ex-it. X-it. Do w^i^e approach “things” as if to
be solved, re-solved? Thinking things-may-be-solved,
yet nothing-is-solved.
Nietzsche
noted, “antiquarian history itself degenerates in
that moment when it no longer inspires and fills
with enthusiasm the fresh life of the present. Then
reverence withers away. The scholarly habit lives
on without it and orbits in an egotistical manner
around its own center” (1873). Why might we revere
our inheritance? Why might we reverie our in-herit(s)tance?
Philosopher
and poet venture in unknown, timelessly. Curiosity
and wonder walk to and fro, from places-of-known
and unknown: impetus sending, seeking return, often
labelled- time-stamped. Labels registered as logos,
concepts, Platonic forms know but monument. By attempting
to solidify eternal flow, is form given? Is formation,
as impossible-task, possible: “that which cannot
be thought and yet must be thought” (Deleuze & Guattari,
1994)? Yet, alongside anxiety remains impulse-to-will;
attempts at unthinkable, impossible, tasks urging
forth. Heart’s pulse not chronologically; kairologically
our being beats.
[vi]
IS: Can
initial emergence possibly distinguish process as poetic,
or philosophic? Of every expression heeding, “the thing
is more than your name for it and more than your ability
to know it” (Lilburn, 2).
Neitszche
(1873) condemns scholarly habits where: “we get a
glimpse of the wretched drama of a blind mania for
collecting, a restless compiling together of everything
that ever existed.” Text upon text upon test legitimizes
m(us)e in Academia. W/i/e are stuck between moment
and monument.
Bachelard
(1964) perhaps comes willing to traverse, "What
a lot of minor conflicts we must resolve upon returning
from vagabond reverie to reasonable vocabulary! And
it is worse when instead of reading, I begin to write.
Under the pen, the anatomy of syllables slowly unfolds.
The word lives syllable by syllable, in danger of
internal reverie. The problem remains how to maintain
the word intact, constricting it to its habitual
servitude in the projected sentence, (17). Maintaining
intact…words-us. Hand is not touch, solid not flow.
How do w(i)e grasp; holding, never held?
[vii]
AN: Do
habits of gathering and collecting breed objectification? An article, delineating
things as separate, yet called indefinite; the comforts through delineation
of familiarity, definite. Gathering is not collecting.
Gathering is quite random in nature, gathered might
even be acategorical. Need is most oft deferred to
in this realm; for resources, survival, above-ing vibe,
life as life...not beyond…life. To replace all the with a? To eliminate all articles?
From birth w(i)e gather, then collect.
[viii]
Especially: Listening to “serious” discussions, wondering where play plays; what
happened to momented language in moments like that.
In the Phaedrus, Socrates takes the
necessity for playfulness seriously, urging play whenever
one attempts to speak of serious things (277e-278e).
Drifting, because w/i\e cannot seem to engage/under-stand
what people are cautiously talking about; this seems
a careful game where our words, our pieces, are shifted
as beads. Ruled by rules, what might participation
mean? Muddle over clarity, like Skolimowski’s pseudo-partipation: where w}i{e think
w]i[e know the rules, “where we are led to believe
there is ample room for our creative intervention,
while in fact there is none, or very little” (1994,
156). Leaning in, attempting to know, monumentalizing
moments, specializing. As gather is not collect, special
is not observation. Oh, special people, with special
needs, how w>i<e long to catalogue sense, observation
to observance; where servitude to kind, type, group,
species, engenders as special. What frustrates: I too
read, I too am read. We too lead, We too are led.
[ix]
Tricky:
Deleuze and Guattari note, “Philosophy has a horror
of discussions. It has always something else to do.
Debate is unbearable to it, but not because it is too
sure of itself. On the contrary, it is its uncertainty
that takes it down other, more solitary paths” (29) or “…best one can say about discussions is that
they take things no farther, since the participants
never talk about the same thing” (28).
So
tricky is this language
learned.
Here on mountain tops. In the Academy
we
have language to learn. Language to lean into
and
it is open for business.
Maybe
through attitude glimpses of true meaning emerge;
attitude as manner in which we create control. With
same words we can dip in humility, courtesy, reverence;
conveying different sentiment/pathos.
What
encourages discouragement? Why do w.i.e focus on knowing? Need to demonstrate our knowing, through other’s
attempts at knowing; apparently via showing one’s
bibliography, banter of appropriate names; ad(jectives;
conceptual volley of concepts, their inherent clarity.
As if clarity meant Spinoza, or Leibnitz, meant Poe,
or Pound. Oh, ultimate "essentializing"?
Can w,i,e capture ideological constellations in proper
noun; as accepted sign, person?
Goals
to say our own words, as philosophy/philosopher/poetry/poet
approximates to approximate translation of translation.
Giving interpretation required, desired, deserved;
yet resolve, putting into words our own thoughts
whilst claiming these as my thoughts. What is known
cannot be said; utterance does not replicate known.
These
thinkers are taken to be only what we have decided
is important about them.
What is important about us/them comes to us in many ways,
already decided.
“I guess the truth
is painters, like mountains, never stay the same.”
[x]
Business: What is your business, your occupation, your work? If w.i.e said home-maker, why the silence? Or distancing? Or nod of affirmation? From whence
do w:i:e define…defer…infer…inter? Earn rights rewarded
for work; might for effort! Harnessed will to power.
What contains? What does not constrain, perhaps questions?
When did I first come to accept unconscious phantasies
about eco-foundationalism? This insistence on home
as a priori and definitive? We seem to know of home
from the ancient Greeks, they seem to have home schooled
us, their oikos of ecology and economy forever since dwelling us, inhabiting
us, founding us. And in the diaspora of antiquity,
we wander errantly in search of our home, our womb,
as if this return would be Edenic. We are homed beings
and we scoff homefulness, attempt to eradicate homelessness,
create banks for food and shelters for warmth, as if
unavoidably homing. Displaced and irritated when without,
when homeless. We are not homeophobic, but rather homelessphobic.
In
Heidegger’s thought on dwelling and being, home remains
essential to Da-Seinic being…defining us(i). Deleuze
and Guattari, in their immanence rest understanding
(acceptance a priori) of guidance by home. Fine of building and dwelling, but
what of home? W]i[e accept home as foundational,
yet it is cultural, that is shape-shifting. Look
at nationalistic homage to home…song, poem, speech,
decree! To strip of home is likened to violation
of rights (inalienable). Moving to aesthetic, such
entrenchment appears too; tautologically homing.
Perhaps home as cell, representative of our(my) times,
times of/in which this was written.
Cell is noted etymologically as
emergent in Latin texts as early as 1131. Contextually,
cell derives from celare, Latin for conceal/hide.
Connection may relate to indo-european root *kel-concealment.
And in the academy? What business have w(i)e? To
forget and remember…in moments…over and over again…monuments…to
toil in amour of armour. Uncertainty creates. Healing...? Certainty gains status, tenure,
promotion: power. Escaping...?
“You
can begin by renouncing your home, if you are so
brash
as
to think you have one. Know this: the true face
has no features,
the
true [wo]man no name and of course no address.”
Shall
we reposition under Before ob-literating, liberating
concept…all
together?
Perhaps older notion of under,
derivative of inter…between-amongst; not dichotomized
over.
Consider
Derrida’s consideration of fragmented sentence, fragmented as lifted from its
text, its context, and brought to bear alone, before
unknown audience, asks: letters to words to sentence
to treaties; what are boundaries? Where, when, how
might construction be approached? Is house not nail?
If not, shall we feast only upon whole-text? How
to claim under-standing, when standing on text’s
threshold looking
out, stepping in, over, stepping back? Consider
sense of under as inter…..inter-standing.
[xii]
Can
we still claim words as precision tools, used to think,
when attempting explication; complex movements of thought?
Come play, inappropriately disrobing concepts-words
at “appropriate” opportunities.
[xiii]
This essay’s sentence was drawn from the call for submissions for this
issue. As we approach the theme, we suggest that in
the spirit of Ranciere's Ignorant Schoolmaster we begin anywhere, that each letter holds, each of
us holds all needed to comprehend, in this monumental
moment, academy and pathology.

About
the Authors
Hartley Banack is a doctoral student with the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University
Daniela Elza is a PhD student in Philosophy of Education who poeticizes philosophy and philosophizes poetry, and hopes to not only bring them back together, but also to bring them both to bear on school reform and cultural ferment. Her interests are in metaphor, the imagination, and reverie. Philo-poesis not just as a practice, a more courteous way of being in the world, but as a vehicle for transforming consciousness. As a way of loosening our grip on the world to invite a more intimate connection with it, which creates space for insight and revelation. She practices everyday. Yes, it is addictive.
