A Conversation with Patricia Lockwood
THE AWL: Did you have a particular audience in mind when you wrote Motherland?
PATRICIA LOCKWOOD: Oh no, I never have an audience in mind. Or rather, the audience is the same as the one you put on shows for, in your room, when you’re a child engaging in the deepest and most private kind of play. It seems like the whole world you’re playing for, it seems like the eye of God up on the ceiling, but it’s really your own consciousness distributed among dolls. It couldn’t be anything else.
Editor Alan C. Bell on Watching His Own Work
I always take a deep breath before I sit back and look at something.
I remind myself not to anticipate the cuts I’ve made.
If I feel something isn’t right but I’m not sure what it is, I pay deep attention to the feeling. For me it’s often the cut BEFORE I noticed that something isn’t right.
I pay attention to where my eye tracks from cut to cut. (This is something I usually think about while I’m choosing my cuts.)
I take a rest from it.
"That modern spirit is almost impossible to acquire in countries where modernity has been imposed from outside."
Salon: So, when we in the West talk about religion as the cause of this violence, how much are we letting ourselves off the hook, and using religion as a way to ignore our role in the roots of this violence?
Karen Armstrong: We’re in danger of making a scapegoat of things, and not looking at our own part in this. When we look at these states and say, “Why can’t they get their act together? Why can’t they see that secularism is the better way? Why are they so in thrall to this benighted religion of theirs? What savages they are,” and so on, we’ve forgotten to see our implication in their histories. We came to modernity under our own steam. It was our creation. It had two characteristics. One of these was independence — your Declaration of Independence is a typical modernizing document. And you have thinkers and scientists demanding free thought and independent thinking. This was essential to our modernity. But in the Middle East, in the colonized countries, modernity was a colonial subjection, not independence. Without a sense of independence and a driving force for innovation, however many skyscrapers and fighter jets you may possess, and computers and technological gadgets, without these qualities you don’t really have the modern spirit. That modern spirit is almost impossible to acquire in countries where modernity has been imposed from outside.

I work for PCC Natural Markets and every month we have a different employee who does a mini art show in the store. The show is in the stairwell that goes down to the bathroom. Of course I wanted to do a comic for the occasion and because the bathroom is so hard to find and we have had so many customers get lost on their way, I made a little comic about just that. I will be making an illustration to display, as well. You will be able to see the art at the Seward Park PCC during all of November.

It is always easier to proclaim rejection than to actually reject.
Frantz Fanon, "On National Culture"
Each generation must out of relative obscurity discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it.
Frantz Fanon, "On National Culture"
She felt very young; at the same time unspeakably aged. She sliced like a knife through everything; at the same time was outside, looking on. She had a perpetual sense... of being out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day.

Wim Wenders - Written In The West
In preparation for shooting the film PARIS, TEXAS in late 1983, Wim Wenders traveled the West equipped with a 6 x 7 medium format camera searching out subjects and location that would bring that desolate landscape to life.
