  "So I think when I'm looking at you, I see you there. But I can't just explain what you are.

  SFULTRA #35 - Beasts - John Crowley 13.06.2025 1u 20min

  "The elementary unit of language — the statement — is the order-word. Rather than common sense, a faculty for the centralization of information, we must define an abominable faculty consisting in emitting, receiving, and transmitting order-words. Language is made not to be believed but to be obeyed, and to compel obedience...Words are not tools, but we give children language, pens, and notebooks as we give workers shovels and pickaxes. A rule of grammar is a power marker before it is a syntactical marker. The order does not refer to prior significations or to a prior organization of distinctive units. Quite the opposite. Information is only the strict minimum necessary for the emission, transmission, and observation of orders as commands...Language is not life; it gives life orders. Life does not speak; it listens and waits." - A Thousand Plateaus, Gilles Deleuze Felix Guattari I'm happy to welcome the Booktube's best critic and only tasteful video editor Matt Bookpilled back on the show.

  'Blake is always unexpected. If you think you know all the works, you're wrong. There's always something that comes up; if it's not a new work, then an old work will appear in a different kind of way. There are certain works I'm completely obsessed by and I don't know how he made them. I don't know how he made them at that time because there's nothing like them: they're completely original. I think his thing was originality.' - Brian Catling

  "The Stumbling Block is an ark of extinction. A bouillon hive of the murdered past, frozen dry to a mass. Something has warmed its corner, the oxoed grit bleeds a vein of contagion, virulent in its passion to embrace and swim in human tides" - Brian Catling, The Stumbling Block
