JOMP BPC - May 16th - Anti-Oppression

I greatly appreciate the anti-oppression stance taken in The Degenerates by J Albert Mann. it’s a brutal look at life in institutions for disabled girls in the early 20th century but it’s such an important read for remembering that we still have a long way to go in ceasing oppression of disabled people now

There are a few novels that I absolutely adore as of today, but among them, there’s only one book that I can’t stop thinking about: The Stranger by Albert Camus.

My purchase was quite unremarkable. I was browsing in a bookstore without any particular book I wanted to buy when I spotted this slender edition wedge between some more contemporary novels. It was unassuming, slim as I said, and the cover was minimalistic and monochromatic. The singular thing that made it stand out was the name “Abert Camus”, about whom I knew practically jack-shit aside from some surface-level information, like that he was Sartre’s fellow French existentialist. But that was enough for me to pick it up.

Despite all that blind reading, when I closed it for the final time, I loved it. It made me think—and still do—things, especially Meursault.

The trial had so many to unpack. I think it shifted from a literal trial to a metaphorical trial. Meursault was put on a literal trial for killing a man on a beach with an actual judge, but he was tried in a metaphorical trial whose judge was society for not behaving as society demanded him. He didn’t feel, act, or think like others, especially when it came to his Maman’s death. It was very fun to see how the two alternated and overlapped.

For me, the trial was where emotions were the strongest. It was different from the majority of the book where everything was laconic and felt… plain. The best visual representation of the mood of the text I think is a sand-colored landscape, midday, under a very heavy barrage of sunlight. The trial was a bit vibrantly polychromatic. It seemed to be the moment where Meursault was forced to give sharp and deep emotional responses. The most memorable part in connection with it was him feeling a great urge to cry—which he hadn’t done in a very long time—because he knew how much most of the people present hated him. I don’t know why but that truly broke my heart. I could’ve mentioned his feeling of being sidelined in the discussion of his guilt and punishment, but that cut not as deeply.

There’s also how the narration repeatedly took the time to note the temperature and light, or anything that can be (physically) sensed, but predominantly these two. They seemed to affect Meursault tremendously.

Everyone was kept busy scraping for a bit of bread, and not out searching for two missing degenerates.

With Vincent [No Last Name] the wolf/coyote imagery is pretty direct and your attention is specifically called to it, but it took me a couple watches of Heat before I recognized the more subtle allusions to Vincent Hanna, Hunting Dog.

Para su interesante álbum instrumental “London Underground” (Atlantic, 1974) el flautista norteamericano Herbie Mann se rodeó de un buen plantel de músicos británicos. En el tema de apertura, un cover de “Bitch” de los Rolling Stones, tocaron exactamente Mick Taylor, Albert Lee, Pat Rebillot, Fuzzy Samuels, Aynsley Dunbar e Ian McDonald. 

Otras buenas versiones del LP son “Something In The Air”, “Layla”, y “Paper Sun”.

John Tarrant, Thomas Mann, et al.: 'Standing on the Same Spot -- Always Standing There'

“No hay sino un problema filosófico realmente serio: el suicidio”. Así comienza el mito del Sísifo, de Albert Camus. El llamado "filósofo de lo absurdo". Él veía que era imposible responder a la pregunta: "¿Por qué estamos aquí?". Camus dijo que hacemos las cosas por rutina, como Sísifo, un personaje mitológico condenado por los dioses a repetir la misma acción: empujar una roca hasta la cima de una montaña, para que vuelva a caer al valle, donde tiene que recogerla y empujarla de nuevo.

Vivimos vidas monótonas, aburridas, repetitivas, hasta que un día nos preguntamos: "¿cuál es el propósito de mi vida?".

Lo que Camus llamó absurdo no es que la vida no tenga sentido, sino justamente la pretensión de buscarle sentido a las cosas.

Lo absurdo deja de serlo desde que lo aceptamos tal como es y dejamos de pensar que hay cosas que hacen que la vida tenga sentido. Según Camus, solo cometen suicidio los que previamente querían darle sentido a la vida. En cambio, los que aceptan el absurdo, viven bien.

Camus era vitalista. Y se negaba a cometer suicidio. Que la vida sea absurda no implica que debamos caer en una profunda apatía. Aunque vivamos en un mar de preguntas sin respuesta, no debemos rendirnos ante la vida. Debemos enfrentarla en toda su incomprensibilidad. Según Camus, darse cuenta de esta verdad es aprender a vivir.

Kaffeereise: Zürich

Tom ist im Urlaub, doch das Programm geht weiter! Schließlich gibt es noch viele Kaffee-Orte zu entdecken! Heute verschlägt es uns zu den Eidgenossen, genauer gesagt in die größte Stadt der Schweiz, nach Zürich. Hier wohnen etwa 400.000 Menschen, 30% davon haben keinen Schweizer Pass, was eine für dieses Land fast ungewöhnliche Vielfalt nach sich zieht. Hier gab es schon zur Römerzeit ein…

Is it only me, or has there always been a running theme of Meursault wanting to be understood and accepted throughout the book?
