Trinh T. Minh-ha, Forgetting Vietnam, 2015-16, digital film still.

Modernity’s progress works by making every step forward a way of disabling and discarding older versions of the system, constantly forcing people to ‘upgrade’ and hence to consume forevermore. Equipment that is just three-to-five years old is not ‘supported’ anymore.

This is a dominant mindset in which incompatibility and mutual exclusion ultimately define the relations between low and high. Being critical of such an ethos, you could try a different ground for creativity and focus, for example, on assemblage or co-formation. In Forgetting Vietnam, everything is said to begin with the ‘two’, the ability to hold both: the forces of mountain and water, of solid and liquid, low and high, old and new, north and south; the movement of ascending and descending, or of leaving and returning

Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power*

... During World War II, we bought sealed plastic packets of white, uncolored margarine, with a tiny, intense pellet of yellow coloring perched like a topaz just inside the clear skin of the bag. We would leave the margarine out for a while to soften, an then we would pinch the little pellet to break it inside the bag, releasing the rich yellowness into the soft pale mass of margarine. Then taking it carefully between our fingers, we would knead it gently back and forth, over and over, until the color had spread throughout the whole pound bag of margarine, thoroughly coloring it.

I find the erotic such a kernel within my self. When released from its intense and constrained pellet, it flows through and colors my life with a kind of energy that heightens and sensitizes and strengthens all of my experience.

Shame is an emotional experience that has until recently been so thoroughly neglected that it might be considered psychology’s stepchild.
