Soundsystem as pedagogy | WritersMosaic Magazine

Roger Robinson on soundsystem as his first school and its ability to reset the nervous system.

„The lessons begin in the body. Bass first. Before language, before history is named through a microphone, the frequencies reorganise the nervous system. They steady the breath. Lower the shoulders. In that softened state, a person becomes receptive. The soundsystem understands something formal education often forgets: the body must be steadied before the mind can receive.“

Phantom Thread

Lisa Robertson’s roman-fleuve of reading and stolen time – Claire Foster

"The primary pleasure for a reader of Robertson is always in thinking about reading, and for Lucy, her readerly pleasure is 'in pausing. I noted and ruffled every tiny texture as it arose, whether in my mental sensation of reading, or in my body as I cellularly assimilated the words . . . I was reading my body.' My reading heart turned soft as one of Lucy’s rags upon meeting this passage that begins as a description of duration and blooms into an ethics of love:

I tried to linger with my amorous incomprehension, to slow my attention so as to better savour the most intricate linguistic constructions and transitions as well as their attendant desiring states, which, love-like, kept shifting. With this hard-won slowing came the conviction that to truly savour a book, to savour love . . . one could not read slowly enough. The waking world must be replaced with love. The experience of duration became its own mystical pleasure. Did love ever arrive? Poetry arrived, and what is the difference.

Bruciore individuale, fuoco collettivo

Bruciore individuale, fuoco collettivo

„È stato ampiamente comprovato il legame tra il lavoro, nello specifico quello agrario, e i tarantismi: la sindrome mordeva sistematicamente chi lavorava nei campi. L’antropologo Ernesto de Martino rintraccia un’ulteriore prova, ossia che i sintomi comparivano ciclicamente, non a caso, durante il faticoso epilogo dell’anno agricolo. Era in quel periodo che le forze produttive “misuravano se stesse nella vicenda del raccolto”;[1] nella stagione estiva si tiravano le somme e si saldavano i debiti. Le inquietudini psicofisiche di tale passaggio scatenavano in chi lavorava la terra un turbamento che pareva potersi placare solo attraverso un apparente ulteriore spreco di energie: una frenetica danza rituale. Eppure proprio cortocircuitando la logica produttiva del consumo energetico, si riusciva in un ballo prolungato ed estenuante a guarire dall’esaurimento. Si bruciava, deliberatamente, insieme, per smettere di bruciare in solitudine.“
