In the House of the Hangman 947

An ontic manifestation of this ontological consolidation is the ‘‘monocrop,’’ such as sugar cane, which increasingly displaces varied horticultures all over the world, but, especially, in the global South. Metaphysics and capitalist economy are in unmistakable collusion, militating, as they do, against the dispersed multiplicities of human and non-human lives; economic rationality, which currently treats the biome as a source of bio-energy or biofuel, converts, concretely and on a global scale, the metaphysical principles of sameness and identity into the modes of production and reproduction of material existence in toto. There, mid-hypnosis, as I began to drift amidst repeated phrases (“you are safe here”) as well as at times, jarringly divergent (from repetition) phrases (“you took the words from my body before I could write them” / “go back to the mirror at your solar plexus, the mirror which reflects everyone else’s mirror”) I experienced myself coming up into and through a very odd quality of light and air. This light was not particularly visual. It was more like a stimulation of a sort of body ease. Looseness? Yes, a saturate loosening. What is it for a tightly threaded cactus, carefully and deliberately doula-ing its own ongoing relation to water? Yet in light of The Number and the Siren, I don’t think it’s really accurate to say that Meillassoux is embracing or appropriating Christianity. What he’s really trying to do is much bolder and, one might say, more insane: He wants to do Christianity one better. He wants to create something more powerful than Christianity, something that would radicalize Christianity’s wildest hopes — by joining things manufactured to help build other things (ladders, levels, winches, extension cords) with hundreds of commonplace items (Q-tips, pushpins, birthday candles, aspirin tablets), and creating elaborate compositions that deftly dissect the notion of “meritocracy,” which is revealed as the reigning ideology of class privilege. But nowhere yet in Stout’s book on Artaud's self portraiture did I find mention of Ducasse’s Maldoror, which also figures a singular portrait of a hair, and one in which the place de l’amour also figures, as well as the curiously repeated line: “REAL LIFE IN THE AIR CHARGING ME LIKE A GIANT VULTURE”, which sort of sums up the oddity of this particular “hair” ...  In Lautreamont, the narrator begs the hair to know who his master is, or rather, what the master narrative or metanarrative could be, and the hair just keeps droning on and on, and combing it out and out further,

educated hordes sustain a wiped gob
         - corn, grated in th’umbrous bowels
and-
    mirror sips flesh atop the pale flight of stairs

all festooned where half-fashioned
 rooves have crept: …
 up we rose
 caulked and feckless,
 brimming over with ash

smearing the city’s
               cervix
 clicks and the hand glows

From this moment forward I’m going to make a concerted effort to abandon the terms “society” and “culture”, replacing “society” instead with “hominid ecology”.
