Difference makes being - Levi Bryant The notion of breath has a sense of logocentrism to it, of the sacred especially when you think of the pneuma in Platos Crito. A lot of us thank Joyces Ulysses for the secular epiphany. The sacred especially in modernity ends up in the logical yet extreme conclusion of sacrifice. Thats not only kenosis of the self but the sacrifice of others as the surrealist with Bataille considered seriously staging. International Urbanism - as distinct to John Kinsellas International Regionalism is far more pedestrian. The discourse of glocalisation as coined by Latour was conceived in era of economic globalisation prior to GFC and the ensuing policies, political theology and economic cipher of austerity from neocon religious influenced leaders. In a most secular way do I thank Pope Francis for currently being somewhat moderate and progressive Pope relatively in a context of media delineations and pontiffs on the right. Pontiffs I say because even though Political Correctness is portrayed as orthodoxy this doesnt ultimately wash as a falsity whereas neoconservative economics is increasingly questionable as no recovery was based on austerity. To my mind, voting Right is desiring ones own cuts to universal medicine, the loss of your job at Holden, the loss of welfare, the loss of a barrier reef. The neocon in Australia say, is correctly framed as leading with the mindset of being in opposition, and of no society/no science. I cant stand apologists for the right because the critiques I bring are no conspiracy but everyday talk. The Right have constructed a straw bugbear that doesnt exist and may well should they go back to reading and publishing as the left, though fractured, is in leadership mode whilst in opposition you could say - that is not a long bow to pull at all! So to urbanism and internationalism. The streets, the music, the beat, pop culture, Beyonce and Badiou, Kool Keith and surrealism, Wycliffe Jean and polysemy, to hip hop, the basic progressivism of Gil Scott Heron to black panther re-emergence in gangsta. The questioning of black capital to black politics, Mos Def from the streets and influenced by something like a Chomskian world view yet unschooled in debate. So rather unfair that Christopher Hitchens debated a rapper. Its a mismatch. The difference fundamental in my work is the influence from hip hop. Its smooth rush, virtuosic killing jazz chop, its rhythm. Not necessarily its ideology, lifestyle, speculations, scientism or psychology, cognition as only about streets. Pop a cap, jailbird! Theres urbanism and the cybersurface. Its the background of some of us, increasingly so. The track belows breath reminds me of the breath of Persian poet Ali Abdolrezaei, and the street slur of the chicano, contemporary hip hop with quoting the 80s sound for the pop music historian....dirty ass latinos of Cypress Hill sound as well, drugged, recouped, coyote, flow...rhythm! ;) youtube/watch?v=NxSMsuXGJI4
