Book=stored memory
several recent discussions about books and notes and other forms of stored memory got me thinking, when/where do we see these? What do they mean, in the metaphorical reading of the show? So far today i have had time to do only a bit of data collecting, but maybe this will get the rest of you going. I tried to distinguish between different forms of stored memory, and not to get too far side tracked by buildings as repositories, but i think those may be important too. Copy-pasting from the google doc i was messing around with during the day.
WRITTEN or PRINTED notes, books, papers (are maps separate?) I tried to keep this to things that represent saved memories, ie not text messages that fall into the phone=heart metaphor.
ASIP 221b full of books, files, etc., “rachel”, newspaper articles, luggage tags, mental map
TBB london a to z, library, flat full of two victims’ books, MUSEUM=MIND PALACE. Tickets, receipts, datebooks, code messages, graffiti, “i sent them a message”, john’s cv, wilkes’ cheques, names by doorbells, andy's note to soo lin, circus tickets, map of london
