I do not mean to outright dismiss this burgeoning "revolution of desire", but this oh-so-subversive ostentation of sexual freedom as a breaking of the rules has been done before (60's US counterculture, Henry Miller, the Beats, "Dhalgren", to name a few) and has never truly ceased since then - has always been an undercurrent of otherwise "sublimated" societies - whether in reaction to, or as a result of, may be another matter -, though now it seems to be yearning for new initiates and a status as the maincurrent like never before, and adopting the deleuzo-guattarian "argot" as a fresh facade: "Schiz-Flux is materialist psychiatry, anti-matter pilots careening out of control, (mis)behavioral artistic derelicts unlocking accustomed patterns, breaking the codes, delving into the molecular unconscious, that biolectic substratum of desire, imbedded, inseparable in/from mental/physical/total." As it (Schiz-Flux) itself claims, it is, "More than left-brained, nit-winged word games issuing from a yakkity-yak empty bravado, Schiz-Flux is the dance of life with open and crazy arms." And, as we can see, it is so much more: " Worlds. Seek, salk, sulk, sage. Rattle, cuddle, nibble, widgely, tirage." -phil. "What is peculiar to modern societies, in fact, is not that they consigned sex to a shadow existence, but that they dedicated themselves to speaking of it ad infinitum, while exploiting it as the secret." -m.foucault --- StripMime Warning -- MIME attachments removed --- This message may have contained attachments which were removed.
