some provisional theses on translation

some provisional theses on translation :

anneboyer:

1) it is wrong to say, as walter benjamin does when he writes about translation, that works of art are not made for those who later experience them — works of art only become art when they have gone from who made them to another, as gifts, or entreaties, or rituals, or punishments, or more

What is s=C=a=L=e (writing over capital) | Jacket2, Tyrone Williams on CJ Martin

What is s=C=a=L=e (writing over capital) | Jacket2, Tyrone Williams on CJ Martin:

A politics of thinking. The Rhythm Party.”

- Henri Meschonnic, “A Rhythm Party Manifesto” (trans by Avra Spector & Lisa Robertson)

Spencer Dobbs has started a new tumblr! I’ve posted his Austin reading/performance on this tumblr, and he has a new project or two out here: http://sedobbs.com/ One of his new chapbooks features a cover print of a coyote by Paul Klinger—totally worth the price of admission…

As an intermission: This image (from Alice) quite possibly is the best representation of what I imagine my relationship to Spicer/he to me would be if he were alive.
