Subject: Re: [D-G] deleuze and benjamin on violence


talking fast and saying nothing is still virtually nothing, whether its
driven by one's own "logos" or anothers.  this seems to be very far from
the spirit of what deleuze described as transcendent empiricism, no?

By the way, can there really be one's own logos? (You do seem to take this
for granted. I dare say you presume it to be sound and use it as a point
of departure for your inscriptions).  This seems to be a contradiction,
fundamentally. Logos is by definition (ha!(?)) saturated with the
weight/history of language, such that concocting hyphenated new terms
and/or making up new words will often run the risk of confusion. No, no
one HAS TO understand you, in any kind of sense, ultimately. Great you
have your isolation. So do we all. So did Adele H.

But it seems to me that since this list is for relatively public or shared
usage it would be a risk worth taking to communicate with an ear towards a
 general sensibility (eschewing overly personal "logos" flying with the
wind inscribing as the main and vital thrust... eh em...).

Particularly in this phallocentric culture we are in, no?
