Gertrude Stein's Monster

This is originally a response to the blog posting: Here

On Silliman's alledged Platonism and Chomskyian poetics:

As far as I remember my problem with Silliman’s "new sentence" was that he was not chomskyian at all... in fact that he misread Chomsky and reverted to structuralism linguistics mainly in that he overlooked the fact that most linguists have wiped the idea of "langue" from their shoulders— and also that he misreads Chomsky in general.

I don't think I can take his notion too seriously in this case though I think there is a definite notion of how writing and printing has affected language. Yet this too is old news (literally). And as for him being a Platonist: I’ll have to re-read what the blog in the link above said on that because as far as I know Silliman has been to most people a materialist in the more Marxist line (Marx was no platonist at all). However, I really don’t like talking about Silliman in this way because I know he has the typical modernist impulse to love any kind of controversy in that it makes him look important or that there are discussions of how perplexing he or his work is. It is not the case that his work is perplexing so much as just a poetics of shooting the breeze with a few Wittgensteinian remarks embedded therein. He is really just a version of Whitman and when you read his “poems” just replace (in your mind) Silliman’s periods with commas and there you have it: a new, fragmented, and diminished Whitman.


Now on Stein:


And another itch I get when reading the blog in the link above and many other literary bloggers is that it has been fashionable of late to diminish Joyce. And this whole remodernist nonsense of exulting Stein who was not much more than an art-groupie rich girl who proclaimed herself genius is in the same line. Admittedly I’d love to see an argument of how Joyce "stole from Stein" elucidated with textual evidence. But don’t get me wrong, I do concede that Stein opened many doors-- yet everyone except her walked through because frankly I don’t think she was able to understand what her textual doodling was. And her doodling definitely was not on the level of Joyce's etymological kaleidoscopes and his morphological permutations(i.e. his technique towers over Stein's side-scribbles).

Stein has become the heroine of late amongst the remodern and pseudo-avant blog community mainly for reasons that the collectivist impulse and the ideas of avant gardist groups have become so prevalent online and amongst the guppy grad students. But the danger that they seem to forget is that it becomes pure politics as opposed to aesthetics. In other words, what I am saying is that Stein was more of a politician in that she was a social-climber whose claim to literary genius was to rub elbows with the right people rather than execute anything other than vague experiment. This is the exact behavior that the so-called quietist (or independents) in the poetry community abhor. And, this is the exact behavior that I see in so many circles. That "experiment," in what I have repeatedly said is a bullshit notion that modernists have siphoned from science, is meant to produce some results and in my view has produced in Art nothing but failure ("failure" not in the Beckett sense either). Modernism is an identity crisis in terms of approach and style, whereas true postmodernism, which doesn't give up on the pursuit of authenticity, can live in a state of negative capability without the need of a bullshit collective identity or "school…" (especially if the school is there for its own sake-- for the sake of “artiste” rather than “art”). What Stein wanted was the same thing as the other modernists: to make art into a pseudo-science using undeveloped Jamesian psychology and what is really just mad-libbing as opposed to real improvisational or innovative writing. What she stumbled upon was accident that others would pick up and make into great works. All the bullshit of de-patriarching of language is fuel for grad papers.

Anti-Healthcare People Outside the Kabob Place

so today i go get the veggie platter for lunch and i come out to find these rednecks, bussed from their churches into the city to protest obama's healthcare reform.

they were standing too close to my car and i was a little annoyed so i said "you people have no compassion"

one guy replied "i have no compassion? i go to church every sunday." and that, literally as i relate it, was his reply. so i said "if you saw someone suffering you'd just throw them to the curb?" to which they responded with rounds of incoherent retorts that i couldn't hear (again there were 50-60 of them there and i was one guy).

then they said they didn't want to pay taxes to which i responded "yeah, nobody wants to... but it isn't about wants, its about needs."

i later related to them my own experience in trying to find coverage and being denied for the most simple of ailments such as a few pains from an old injury. i told them i tried 6 different insurers and the only one who accepted me would pay for everything except the things related to the injury. to which they responded "it (healthcare) is already free... there are free clinics everywhere." to which i said "no there is only one 20 miles west of here that doesn't cover specialist procedures."

later they said this absurd remark "emergency rooms are free... they have to take you." now it is true they have to take you...but you will be sent a minimum 350 dollar bill in the mail.

i then outlined the fundamental difference between socialized health care and socialized medicine. non of them understood. unfortunately the right-tilted debate has turned common usage of these words to mean the same thing.

and later the police came and said i had to leave, regardless that i was there first when i parked my car there. but what was most rewarding was that when the one guy who said he was a physician heard me talk from real experience he immediately grew quiet and slunk away to the back of the crowd. he knew i wasn't lying.

only point is: don't be afraid to speak up. don't be afraid of these wild hordes of uninformed people who try to scare you of big government when, compared to business, is really quite small. if they bring guns to debates and want to holler catch phrases and blurbs into the air simply use rationality and courage. it is about needs. let them shoot me for paying a few bucks in taxes so that the poor, the middle-class, and small-businesses in the U.S. can have access to human rights.

On Poetry "Schools"

The "high modernists": I don't think Homer or Vyasa took poetry as seriously as some of the high moderns or the current late-moderns who get tenure for soQ (or avant-like) poetry.

The "high" Beat poets: I've heard "howl" mentioned as being independent of linguistic concerns as well. This makes me consider a feeling I’ve had about language poetry: it was an inevitable progression but it tucked back into itself, oroboros kinda thing, "solipsism of the group-mind" that most non-poetry-specialists people don't care for. Alot of younger writers followed suit and started using the actual word "language" too much in their poems or, like Silliman, used the word "syntax" too much. and, honestly, that type of poetry isn't interesting to most people who don't parse poems and do scansions but read for pleasure and inspiration... it closes it them off from general audiences and starts talking to itself (talking to itself in an institution… contemporary poetry is mentally handicapped). The modernists, in my view, started this but their reaction to the world of their day is understandable. and although I dislike Tennyson and all that, the Victorians, transcendentalists, and romantics related to non-poetry people whereas the moderns had "cliques" (aka "schools") united under a manifesto or an ideology rather than an aesthetic.

Flarf seems to attempt to not be an ideological clique but it is certainly a group of professors (exploiting and appropriated conversations of teenagers online?). Language poetry was definitely a clique but its ideas proliferated. the new York school and the beats were "cliques" but without manifestos... they wanted to mingle with people and their poetry to mingle with people. perhaps flarf's lack of seriousness will limit it in the same way the NY school is (relatively) not greatly read outside of enthusiasts. Yet I know a few non-poetry people who love the work of Ashbery and O'Hara. Additionally, I know a million non-poetry people who adore the Beats. But let me clarify for a second one important thing: the Beats and the NY school, in my reading, had a general aesthetic (casual opposed to formal) rather than an ideology or specialized mode (outlined in a manifesto... i.e. they didn't don a uniform poetics but instead had a conversation). This is what is interesting about flarf: it seems to me to be non-ideological (or anti-ideological) yet not anti-aesthetic. It is “anaesthetic” if you will, or even mocking of its own anaestheticism (a flarfist reading this now could even be laughing at the wannabe intellectual tone of this blog trying to analyze their “work”).

The problem is that (ideological) schools can cut themselves off from society in general (particluarly a society weary of ideology). Moreover, our "society" in America is particularly individualistic and the Beats, for example, weren't unified under a manifesto or an ideology (that I’m aware of) as much as a general pathos (the same for the NY school) and, whether they knew it or not, an aestheticism. They didn't shun individuality or come up with ideological poetics in place of their aestheticisim. This, in my reading, is also true of the Romantics, transcendentalists, and (arguably) the more ancient and classic poets, most of which, particularly outside of the Western tradition, had religion in place of ideology. Their approach towards "self" was more agnostic than skeptical nad the NY there was "personality" in place of an fascist ego (or dry scholarly attitudes towards a "fascist ego").

[please correct me if I am wrong]
