"Very interesting..."

Egon would 100% play Buckshot Roulette, and as soon as I saw the trend of people drawing their characters as the Dealer, I HAD to do it for Egon.

Favorite books? Literature, art, etc.

I’m pretty horrible at picking favourites but a few classics that I love: Tom Robbin’s Still Life With Woodpecker, Patrick Süskind’s Perfume, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Ursula Le Guin’s Buffalo Gals, Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, Burrough’s Naked Lunch and R. Crumb’s illustrated Book of Genesis. Next on the to read list is We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson (on the recommendation of almost every woman in my life after many years of putting it off lol) and maybe also Stephen King’s Misery again since it is autumn.

Some artists: Francisco Goya, Kiki Smith, Francis Bacon, Aya Takano, Franz Sedlacek, Nan Goldin, Egon Schiele, Robert Crumb, Alexandra Waliszewska, Frank Frazetta, Juul Kraijer, Francisco de Zurbarán and Franciszek Starowieyski to name a few.

Hashish in Berlin:

An Introduction to Walter Benjamin's Uncompleted Work On Hashish

Paper read at the Walter Benjamin Congress, University of Amsterdam, 1997: Scott J. Thompson.

*****

O braungebackne Siegessäule

mit Winterzucker aus den Kindertagen [1]

This motto beginning Walter Benjamin's Berlin Childhood Around the Turn of the Century and appearing in a slightly altered form in Berliner Chronik has its origins in Benjamin's experiments with hashish, as Gershom Scholem and the editors of Benjamin's Gesammelte Schriften have noted. The "golden leading strings" [2] of childhood and the attempt to recapture their magic are interlaced throughout Benjamin's writings and experimental notes on hashish, opium and mescaline. As he expressed it in the mescaline protocol recorded by Dr. Fritz Fränkel in Paris on 22. May 1934, "The first experience the child has of the world is not that the adults are stronger, but rather that it cannot conjure."[3] In Benjamin's novella "Myslowitz - Braunschweig - Marseilles: Story of a Hashish Rausch" (1930), the narrator's hashish vision transforms a man in a restaurant into the image of a young boy in an Eastern European town. [4] In the essay "Hashish in Marseilles" (1932), a young boy on an electric tram is transformed into the sad child, Barnabus, from Kafka's The Castle. [5] In "Crock Notes" (1932), the opium smoker and hashish eater are said to "playfully exhaust those experiences of the ornament which childhood and fever made us capable of observing." [6] In the protocol to the hashish experiment with Gert and Egon Wissing in March 1930, Benjamin recorded the following:

I was not very attentive to what Egon said because my hearing immediately converted his words into the perception of colorful, metallic glitter which coalesced in patterns. I made this understandable to him by comparing it to the knitting patterns which we loved as the beautiful colored plates in Herzblättchens Zeitvertreib [Darling's Diversions] when we were children. [7]

In a more recreational experiment with the Wissings on 7. June 1930, Benjamin saw Gert transformed into "a slender boy in black attire." [8] When Egon Wissing supervised Benjamin's experiment with hashish and the opiate Eucodal on 7. March 1931, he noted that "toys or colorful children's pictures thrust themselves to the foreground again and again." [9] In the session of 18. April 1931, supervising doctor, Fritz Fränkel, noted Benjamin's extremely childlike sensitivity to color and wordplay, particularly his "remarkable number of diminutives." [10]

In his attempt to regain the child's magical power of conjuring by availing himself of Dr. Ernst Joël's invitation to become a test subject in a series of loosely monitored hashish experiments, Benjamin was able not only to independently evaluate the findings of Baudelaire's Artificial Paradise, which he told Ernst Schoen in 1919 would be required to appreciate the book, [11] but was also able to explore that root of his philosophical intentions, which Theodor W. Adorno has described as an ability "to render accessible by rational means that range of experience that announces itself in schizophrenia." [12] In his essay "A Portrait of Walter Benjamin," Adorno drew attention to the concept which unites the magic of childhood with "mental derangement," when he wrote that "The rebus is the model of [Benjamin's] philosophy." [13] The playful disorientation of the rebus and the delight in the sudden spark that ignites the mind with its solution are keys to Benjamin's concept of "profane illumination." Given Benjamin's mania for collecting children's books and books by the "mentally deranged," to which Scholem has attested in his essay "Walter Benjamin," [14] it is logical that he would have taken advantage of an opportunity to explore substances the experimental value of whose attendant rausch was described by his old acquaintances, Ernst Joël and Fritz Fränkel, in their article "Der Haschisch-Rausch" in the following manner:

Without proposing a blanket identification of spontaneous psychotic episodes with the phenomena observed in these experiments, we nonetheless maintain that an experimental way of penetrating abnormal states exists here, which allows us to investigate how far the individual can deviate from the norm, and to determine which psychotic symptoms in general are within the realm of the normal individual. The rausch provides a remarkable yield of sympathetic understanding for pathological symptoms (compulsion, schizoid behavior, delusions, incoherence, etc.). One acquires a new understanding for the mythic and the mystical. As for the alterations of particular qualities or the lack of such alteration, first we must identify the qualities in the norm, if the conditions of normal psychic processes are to be disclosed by pathological modification. [15]

Though they do not employ the term in their article, the concept of the psychotomimetic, a substance the ingestion of which is said to imitate or simulate a psychosis, supplies the operative paradigm in Joël and Fränkel's "experimental psychopathology," which they understood as both an attempt at "a total comprehension of altered psychic life" [16] and as a necessary corrective to the mechanistic psychopharmacology of Emil Kraepelin's school. It is important that we understand Joël and Fränkel's theoretical presuppositions if we are to bring an informed reading to Benjamin's experimental protocols and the extant writings which testify to what remains of that uncompleted book on hashish, once described by Benjamin in a letter to Scholem on 26. July 1932 as "ein höchst bedeutsames Buch" ["a truly significant book"]. [17]

In his pathbreaking book Du Hachich et de l'Alienation mentale [Hashish and Mental Illness] (1845), Jacques-Joseph Moreau (de Tours) [1804-1884], the doctor who introduced hashish to Charles Baudelaire and the Club des Haschischins, suggested that psychiatry could benefit by comparing hashish experiments with the symptoms of the mentally ill. [18] This idea was adopted by Emil Kraepelin (1855-1926), father of psychopharmacology, when he called rausch "Irresein im kleinen" ["derangement in miniature"]. [19] The Kraepelinian method however, according to Joël and Fränkel, failed to comprehend the entire human being, because it mechanistically severed partial functions of the psychic life, which were then altered by psychopharmaka and subjected to behavioristic testing. In this important respect, Jöel and Fränkel's critique of Kraepelin was related to Benjamin's critique of the Kantian concept of experience.

 In his early treatise "On the Program of the Coming Philosophy" (1917), Benjamin had called into question the Kantian concept of experience based on Newtonian physics, describing it as "view of the world of the lowest order." [20] Against Kant's Enlightenment mythology, Benjamin offered anthropological and psychological evidence of alternative realities outside the Kantian purview.

We know of primitive peoples of the so-called preanimistic stage who identify themselves with sacred animals and plants and name themselves after them; we know of insane people who likewise identify themselves in part with objects of their perception...we know of sick people who relate the sensations of their bodies not to themselves but rather to other creatures, and of clairvoyants who at least claim to be able to feel the sensations of others as their own. [21]

The cognizing subject of Kantian philosophy was called "a type of insane consciousness." [22] Against the Enlightenment worldview of the Protestant burgher, Benjamin posited a coming philosophy which would reclaim the cosmic rausch possessed by the human being of antiquity. In his later essay "Surrealism: The Last Snapshot of the European Intelligentsia" (1929), this cosmic rausch and its materialist, anthropological "profane illumination" were to be appropriated by the proletariat in the coming seizure of power.

 Some scholars have seized upon the Surrealism essay to downplay Benjamin's interest in psycho-pharmaca. The concept of "profane illumination" is stressed as an awakening from a rausch, which is all-too-often characterized as a "narcotic trance," [23] despite the fact that cannabis and mescaline are not narcotic. The "profane illumination" of the rebus, however, presupposes an initial disorientation and sense of being puzzled. The problem with taking Benjamin's Surrealism essay as a definitive statement on rausch is that in so doing we overlook the fact that most of Benjamin's hashish, opium and mescaline experiments were written after 1929. Protocols V - X were conducted between March 1930 and May 1934. In November 1930, "Myslowitz - Braunschweig - Marseilles" appeared in the journal Uhu. During the spring of 1932, the more theoretical Crock Notes were written in Ibiza, and in December 1932, "Hashish in Marseilles" appeared in the Frankfurter Zeitung. Then there are the passages on hashish in the Passagen-Werk. Nor may we forget that Benjamin had first told Scholem that "even my experiences while under the influence of the drug" were a "worthwhile supplement" to philosophical investigation. [24]

Other scholars, such as Gershom Scholem, Susan Buck-Morss, Sándor Radnóti, Norbert Bolz, [25] have been much less reticent to admit the extent of Benjamin's hashish investigations. In her Origin of Negative Dialectics (1977), Susan Buck-Morss went to far as to assert that:

...the insights induced by drugs were not insignificant to Benjamin's theoretical endeavors. His notion of the subject-object relationship which lay at the heart of his theory of knowledge bore the stamp of these sessions and characterized the particular nature of his empiricism. [26]

Despite these less reticent scholarly remarks about Benjamin and rausch, a book length study of these writings has not appeared, and although these writings have been available in German for twenty-five years, "Hashish in Marseilles" is the only work of this nature by Benjamin which is available in English. Were one to substitute "Benjamin" for "Baudelaire" and Über Haschisch for Flowers of Evil in the following passage from Benjamin's letter to Max Horkheimer [6. January 1938], one would discover an apt analogy to the status of these writings in Benjamin scholarship. Voicing his displeasure with what he perceived as their bourgeois limitations, Benjamin characterized the Baudelaire scholarship of his day in the following words:

The mark of Baudelaire commentaries is that, in all fundamental aspects, they could have been written the same way had Baudelaire never written Flowers of Evil. They are, in fact, challenged in their entirety by his theological writings, by his memorabilia, and above all by the chronique scandaleuse. The reason is that the limits of bourgeois thinking and even certain bourgeois ways of reacting would have had to be discarded - not in order to find pleasure in one or another of these poems, but specifically in order to feel at home in the Flowers of Evil. . . [27]

Having been able to feel "at home" in what remains of Walter Benjamin's uncompleted book on hashish, a new breed of Benjamin research-activists have begun to examine this material in depth. As Hermann Schweppenhäuser noted in his essay, "The Propadeutics of Profane Illumination," "like the micrological explorations that typify his philosophizing as a whole, [Benjamin's] experiences of rausch bring to light surprising finds." [28]

Movies I've seen in 2022 and my honest opinion on them. [3/12...?]

My goal for 2022 was to watch more movies, especially ones that are on my "list". At the end of each month, I'll make a post with a brief review of the movies I got to see for the first time this year. LIGHT spoilers ahead (I don't want to ruin it for those who are interested!)

Here we have my birth month, March! Somewhat belated!

Happy Feet: apparently my Mom said that I've seen this before but I have no memory of it. Anyway, it's a cute and funny movie with pretty animation, and it's kinda refreshing/nice to see Elijah Wood have a much more light-hearted role. Also, this movie made me miss Robin Willaims even more, and I don't whether to laugh or cringe at Hugh Jackman's Memphis.

Cruella: another great live-action film by Disney inspired by their animated classics. Plot was both predictable and unpredictable, but I got the message/theme of new and unconventional fashion in the industry. Good cinematography and performances by the Emma leads (Stone and Thompson), but I hated how half of the time we saw dogs, they were CGI.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife: I thought this was a well-done sequel without ruining the franchise itself. The use of CGI isn't cheap/cheesy, funny dialogue (courtesy of Paul Rudd), and a respectable tribute to the late Harold Ramis (aka Egon). Was also nice to see the OG cast members return (the 2016 reboot film had them as minor cameo roles), and also one of the Terror Dogs was a puppet during a few scenes (like in the Walmart scene).

Turning Red: Another gem in Pixar's massive crown. Screw what negative things that people said about it, this movie got everyone talking. I relate a lot to Mei, and seeing her friends makes me wish I had friends like them during my middle school years. The usual Pixar movie charm with stunning animation, compelling plot, and lots of emotions.

Putzi

In Hitler’s inner circle of thugs, lunatics, imbeciles and perverts, Ernst Franz Sedgwick Hanfstaengl stood out as an oddity among the oddballs. Where they tended to be snarlingly parochial bumpkins, he was a cosmopolitan man – a Harvard man – with an international set of high-placed friends and associates that included not only Adolf Hitler but Franklin Roosevelt. It wasn’t that he didn’t look the part of the Aryan goon. He stood a mountainous six foot four, with broad shoulders, a barrel chest, huge hands, and a boulder of a head with a lantern jaw and lidded eyes designed for the threatening glower. But he was a big man who only wanted to be liked, aggressively ingratiating as a golden retriever. He was universally known by his childhood nickname, Putzi.

Putzi was born into a prosperous and cultured home in Munich in 1887. His German father was well-known dealer in fine art reproductions, with galleries in London and on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. His mother was an American of fine New England pedigree, with a Civil War general in her family tree. They sent him to Harvard in 1905. In 1911, at 24, he moved to Manhattan to run Galerie Hanfstaengl at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 45th Street. Yet his first love was music. He was an accomplished pianist if a sometimes overenthusiastic one who, it was said, occasionally banged the keys so hard with his sledgehammer hands that he broke strings. Many mornings before opening the gallery he could be found at the Harvard Club around the corner, playing the piano there. That was where he met another grad, state senator Franklin Roosevelt, who breakfasted at the club. Putzi was an assiduous cultivator of the celebrated and influential; he’d later write that “the famous names who visited me” at his gallery “were legion,” including “Pierpont Morgan, Toscanini, Henry Ford, Caruso, [the aviator Alberto] Santos-Dumont, Charlie Chaplin, Paderewski, and a daughter of President Wilson.” He also made friends with the artists and writers in Greenwich Village, including an affair with Djuna Barnes.

The coming of the Great War made life very difficult for him in New York, as it did for many German-Americans. The Justice Department investigated him; his Harvard Club fellows turned cold; the gallery’s windows were smashed more than once; and then, toward the end of the war, the government seized the gallery as “enemy property” and auctioned it off for a pittance.

In 1921 he returned to Munich with his wife and infant son. The following year, a Harvard classmate at the American embassy asked Putzi to go hear a political speech and give his impression. The speaker was Adolf Hitler, and Putzi was definitely impressed. He immediately ingratiated himself with Hitler, becoming his constant companion, his court minstrel and court jester. He saw his role as introducing some culture and refinement to Hitler and his loutish crew. He played Wagner and Liszt to soothe Hitler’s nerves, and tried to get him to grow out his moustache, which Putzi called his “snot-catcher.” He provided Hitler an entrée to upper-crust Germans and their money, and personally footed the bill for expanding the Nazi newspaper Völkischer Beobachter from a thin weekly to a thriving daily.

On November 8, 1923 he was inside Munich’s Bürgerbräu Keller when Hitler launched his failed putsch. Escaping the chaos of the next day, Hitler fled to Putzi’s country home some 40 miles south of the city. The American journalist Dorothy Thompson, who knew Putzi, showed up, pursuing a rumor that Hitler was hiding out there, but the police had gotten there first. “HITLER SEIZED NEAR MUNICH,” the front page of the November 13 New YorkTimes reported. “Found in Home of E. F. Hanfstaengl, Ex-New York Art Dealer.” [November 13, 1923]

Putzi maintained loose ties with the Nazis during their low ebb in the 1920s; then, when Hitler’s fortunes seemed to be reviving in 1931, Putzi re-hitched his wagon, joining the party – a commitment he’d resisted until then – and convincing Hitler to let him be his foreign press spokesman. He certainly had the international press contacts, from Thompson to Quentin Reynolds to William Randolph Hearst, though Thompson would dismiss him as “an immense, high-strung, incoherent clown,” and Reynolds sneered, “You had to know Putzi to really dislike him.”

One evening in 1935 another Harvard man, the New York writer Varian Fry, stepped out of his hotel in Berlin to witness “a band of some 200 Nazis, clad in civilian clothing but many of them wearing Storm Troop boots and trousers,” surge along the fashionable Kurfürstendamm, attacking anyone they thought was Jewish. They yanked people out of cars and cafes to beat and kick them senseless. They smashed the windows of Jewish shops and restaurants, as they sang the “Horst Wessel” song and chanted anti-Semitic slogans. Fry saw one young man “whose eyes became filled with blood so that he could not see where he was running,” and the Jewish proprietor of an ice cream shop badly beaten as his shop was wrecked. Fry returned to his hotel room, telephoned his report to a wire service, and the next day it was in the Times and other newspapers.

The Völkischer Beobachter, unsurprisingly, blamed Jews for inciting what it described as the spontaneous disturbance Fry witnessed, supposedly outraging good Germans by hissing at an anti-Semitic Swedish film in a Kurfürstendamm theater. To Fry, the riot “gave every evidence of careful planning” and was clearly led by storm troopers. The morning after, he went to Goebbels’ Ministry of Propaganda for some answers, and was ushered into Putzi Hanfstaengl’s office. At first Putzi went into boola-boola overdrive, one Harvard man to another, but when Fry resisted, Putzi deflated. Apparently he was finding his job of explaining the Nazis to the world rather daunting and frustrating. He was remarkably, even recklessly candid with Fry. He confessed that it was most likely storm troopers who had hissed at the Swedish film as a pretext for the rioting. More amazing still, he told Fry that two factions in the Nazi Party leadership were arguing over how to deal with Germany’s Jews. The moderates, in which he counted himself, maintained that the answer was to segregate or send them all away, perhaps to Madagascar. The radicals, who he said included Hitler and Goebbels, preferred exterminating them. Fry reported this conversation to the Times as well, seven years before the Nazi hierarchy formally adopted the Final Solution.

Putzi grew increasingly uncomfortable with making excuses for Hitler over the next couple of years. By 1937, Hitler and his inner circle harbored doubts about his loyalty. Fearing that Hitler planned to liquidate him, Putzi fled Germany for England, where he was hoping to be embraced as a political exile. Instead, the British interned him as an enemy national.

In 1942, Roosevelt took pity on him. He arranged with the British to have  him transferred from a POW camp in Canada, which was reducing Putzi to a miserable sliver of his jolly old self, to a house outside Washington. There, under house arrest and constant guard, Putzi was kept busy writing voluminous psychological profiles of Hitler and other Nazi leaders for possible use by American intelligence and propaganda services. For a while his guard was his own son, Sergeant Egon Hanfstaengl, who had also fled Germany, come to America, and enlisted in the U.S. Army.

After the war Putzi was allowed to return to Germany, where he submitted to the humiliating process of being “de-Nazified.” He spent the rest of his life trying to convince anyone who’d pay attention that he’d been a “victim of Nazi political persecution,” even asking for cash reparations from the German government. In 1974 he made the news again when he was allowed to return to Harvard for his 65th class reunion. He died the following year.

Volunteer Blog: Andy Auld

I started volunteering at ActionSpace in Autumn 2018 after attending Thompson Hall and Ian Wornast's exhibition 'My Life In London' as part of Unlimited Festival at Southbank Centre. I hugely enjoyed the show and had a nice chat with Thompson, Ian and ActionSpace staff after looking at the artwork, during which I inquired about volunteering. My taste in art veers toward colourful, abstract and not purely representational work so I was blown away by Ian's intricate, abstract and colourful maps of London and Thompson's bold technicolor pieces.

Not long after that I began to volunteer with the Thursday group, which I did for the majority of a year. I loved my time in this group and all the artists' unique and impressive creative processes - from Mohammed Muzmayeem Roaf’s extremely physical paintings and sculptures to Mark Walter's pop cultural ink work. There was so much to take in each week. Since then I've moved over to the Tuesday group, also assisting on the occasional Wednesday, so I've had a great overview of the creativity and variety of the work produced at ActionSpace's Cockpit Arts Studios across the week. To continue to name artists individually would take forever as I have found something to enjoy about every artists work or process - the sheer variety and ingenuity of the artists' is striking and I've had my eyes opened to so many different materials & techniques.

I find volunteering at ActionSpace positive in so many different ways - being exposed to so much amazing new art has inspired me to produce work of my own, something I hadn't done much of, beyond collage and posters, since my teens. Being part of the ActionSpace community is great as I've made new friendships and have a lovely time with the artists  - this is a highlight of each week for me. I'm extremely grateful to be able to support the artists in their practice and in return I feel I've gained inspiration, friendships, exposure to new styles & techniques and more. I feel like part of an extremely welcoming and creative community.

This year I've particularly enjoyed being part of 'Clever The Way It's Moving' at the Barbican, an immersive interactive installation by ActionSpace artist Mark Lawrence, which was part of a community view of Lee Krasner's 'Living Colour' exhibition. Watching such a diverse group of attendees interact with Mark's work was so great - it was an excellent evening. This inspired a return visit to the Lee Krasner exhibition, in our leisure time, with Rebekah Cameron, who leads our Tuesday sessions, and ActionSpace artist Matthew Berry. We all loved the exhibition and saw much of Krasner's work reflected in Matthew’s own work - I believe they are kindred spirits in their bold use of colour and manipulation of shape and form through abstract line work. Aside from the regular studio sessions, I've also enjoyed a trip with ActionSpace artists to the Royal Academy to attend to Egon Schiele exhibition and workshop as well as the Cockpit Arts Open Studio exhibitions - this is a huge bonus of volunteering with ActionSpace, meeting more of the artists, families, friends and admirers of their work in the process.

Outside of ActionSpace I work at Community Focus as volunteer coordinator and workshop facilitator and assistant - this has ranged from mixed media, painting and collage to drama and writing. I feel that my time at ActionSpace has inspired my approach to creative work, teaching me new skills and techniques that I'm able to offer to others. I am also studying at Bath Spa University, doing a PhD in Disability and Cultural Studies, looking at the creative practice of learning disabled artists' using Inclusive Research methodologies.

I'm very pleased to be a small part of the ActionSpace team and would thoroughly recommend volunteering to anyone who is interested - I have gained a great deal from it and feel very lucky to attend each week.
