Nabokov's Lectures on Literature at Cornell University where he was appointed an instructor in 1948, reveals his controversial ideas concerning art.[citation needed] He firmly believed that novels should not aim to teach and that readers should not merely empathise with characters but that a 'higher' aesthetic enjoyment should be attained, partly by paying great attention to details of style and structure. He detested what he saw as 'general ideas' in novels, and so when teaching Ulysses, for example, he would insist students keep an eye on where the characters were in Dublin (with the aid of a map) rather than teaching the complex Irish history that many critics see as being essential to an understanding of the novel.

***

To him, the "originality, invention, conciseness, harmony, complexity, and splendid insincerity" of creating a chess problem was similar to that in any other art.

***

His Time obituary reads "Politically, Nabokov saw himself as an old-fashioned liberal, though by current standards he was a William F. Buckley conservative. His suggestion that the portrait of a head of government "should not exceed a postage stamp in size" makes good sense in any ideology.

Influenced by the Swiss anthropologist Johann Jakob Bachofen (1815–87), Walter Benjamin coined the term “auratic perception”, denoting the aesthetic faculty by means of which civilization may recover an appreciation of myth.
Baudelaire began asserting that traditional art was inadequate for the new dynamic complications of modern life.

***

The observer-participant dialectic

is evidenced in part by the dandy culture. Highly self-aware, and to a certain degree

flamboyant and theatrical,

dandies of the mid-nineteenth century created scenes through outrageous acts like walking turtles on leashes down the streets of Paris. [1] Such acts exemplify a flâneur's active participation in and fascination with street life while displaying

a critical attitude towards the

uniformity,
speed,
and anonymity of modern life in the city.

The approach to the circuits which evolved at MIT was to set about to make the circuits fast and then the computer simple.




Through our history, many of the ideas came from our customers.



But in general, the market wasn't asking for it. Market surveys came to the conclusion that people wanted exactly what they had. That's because that's all they'd ever seen.



You never can say for sure because somebody else might have done it first.



DKA: Is DEC more open with its information about machine design than other companies?

KO: Probably so, because of [our] academic background. But even more important, it takes a lot of discipline to get people to write. After you're finished with a job, it's very hard to write about you've done because you're ready to go on to something new. Getting people to write down all they know about the project they worked on takes discipline and effort.



The company changes consistently and regularly. The people we hired initially of course were not trained in computers. They came from all kinds of backgrounds. Musicologists was surprisingly popular.



The military is always several years behind in computers, and getting farther and farther behind. They're not in a position to lead the computer industry just because of the way they're organized.



I think the interesting thing to observe about computers and computer technology is that the most significant changes people don't notice. Things they worry about never become a problem. For example, the hand calculator really was a revolution. No one predicted it, no one worried about it. It sneaked up on us and suddenly we all have them, we all use them, and we never thought of it as revolution. It just sneaked up on us.



I tell our people when I'm asked to lecture, look at the old people you want to be like.



I used to think that computers could do no harm. But there are some things which do worry me. Some people study computers and don't learn anything else. Computers are just tools to do something; you better be expert in something and consider the computers the tool. The computers are fun and exciting but they're just tools, and we better make sure that we know something about what the computers are supposed to solve not just the computers.


Computers also produce an enormous amount of data and people get confused with that. Data is not information. That's been pointed out. You put the data in a form which is useful and you have some information. But a large amount of data isn't information. I think in business making graphs is a menace.

Files have names, and can be referred to throughout your comnputer. But a file may include pieces of data which do NOT have names, and CANNOT be referred to elsewhere. Sometimes this is what you want. But often you would like to be able to refer to the smaller units WITHOUT names, and often you wish you did not have to refer to the larger ones WITH names.

In Unix, you can pretty much do anything. There are no "applications". You can run any program on any data, and if you don't like the results, throw them away. Computer liberation will mean empowering users to have this same kind of control.

for a new publishing system of the future, and it seemed manifest to me in 1960 that we would be reading and writing on computer screens that were interactive and all this would be fed by a vast feeder network of digital digitalia around the world, since we're going to be publishing in a system of this kind, what would be the reward structure, what would be the document structure, and what would be the most beneficial extension of literature as we knew it. To me literature is the great ideal here, not some engineer's notion of information retrieval.

Links meant that literature no longer had to be sequential.



As Alan Kay pointed out, literature was the software of the era.


http://www.rheingold.com/texts/tft/14.html
Ted Nelson started his often lonely and always stubbornly unique intellectual journey when he first realized what they were trying to do to him in school. "I hated school all my life," he claims, "from the first grade through high school, unrelentingly and every minute. I have never known anyone who hated school as much as I did, although my assumption is that other dropouts do."

"The result is a seemingly anarchic pool of documents, true, but that's what literature has been anyhow . . . ," Nelson claims. "Its orderliness is not, as some would suppose, imposed by the computer or its administrators, but by something which arose long ago in the natural structure of literature, and which we are merely retaining."


If this all seems like a wild idea, that means you understand it.


http://www.rheingold.com/texts/tft/14.html
As far as I know, there is still not a Decent Writing System anywhere in the world, although several things now come close. It seems a shame that grown men and women have to rustle around in piles of paper, like squirrels looking for acorns, in search of the phrases and ideas they themselves have generated. The decent writing system, as I see it, will actually be much more: it will help us to create better things in a fraction of a time, but also keep track of everything in better and more subtle ways than we ever could before.

ted nelson, one-liners

Imitating paper on a computer screen-- as almost all consumer applications presently do-- is like tearing the wings off a 747 and using it as a bus on the highway.

...the game of DOOM is far more realistic than anyone expected was possible, because the programmers skillfully used fast interaction and blur rather than high resolution.

Hypertext is not technology but Literature. Literature is the information that we package and safe (first just books and newspapes and magazines, now movies and recordings and CD-ROMs and what-all). The design of tomorrow's literature determines what the human race will be able to keep track of and understand. These are not issues to be left to "technologists".

Information always comes in packages (media bundles, called "documents" (and sometimes "titles")), and every such package has a point of view. Even a database has a point of view.

bion, esquizofrenia como panpsicopatología

La primera preocupación de Freud no fue delimitar neurosis y
psicosis, sino poner en evidencia la psicogénesis de toda una
serie de afecciones. A la inversa, Bion ubicó el paradigma de la
enfermedad mental en la esquizofrenia. Según él esta enfermedad
tiene como origen la intolerancia a la frustración. El paciente
huye de la frustración negándose a mentalizarla. Lo logra destruyendo
o invirtiendo la función alfa. También Bion encaró casi
toda la patología mental como trastornos del pensamiento.


http://www.apdeba.org/publicaciones/2000/02/articulos/022000bleandonu.pdf

bion, parte no-psicótica

Bion extendió este modelo para que pueda abarcar el
proceso de mentalización mismo. El punto primordial es que la
mente necesita del reverie materno para dejar de pensar en forma
concreta. Antes que la personalidad pueda disponer de una parte
no psicótica, es imperativo que haya logrado instalar en ella esta
capacidad de continencia y de transformación.

origen del deseo de ser analista

El análisis del deseo de ser analista, por medio del cual se troquela la escucha analítica, tiene que ver con momentos de profunda angustia infantil (Agustín Palacios, comunicación personal), con relación a aspectos de nuestras pulsiones parciales infantiles en los que nos jugábamos la vida, y ante las cuales generamos un estilo caracterológico específico, y que estamos obligados a intentar entender en el desempeño de nuestro trabajo.

textos, cantidad producida por la humanidad

The little Google search window would be the gateway to the content of the 32 million books, 750 million articles, 25 million songs, 500 million images, 500,000 films, 3 million television programs and 100 billion public Web pages that Wired writer Kevin Kelly estimates humanity has published since the days of Sumerian clay tablets. To store all of this gigantic volume of data -- estimated at 50 petabytes -- would still require a building the size of a small town's library, Kelly wrote in a 2006 article for the New York Times. But in the future, all of that knowledge will be only a mouse click away -- and will fit on a single iPod.

glock

Back in 1981 Glock was producing plastic grenade shells for the Austrian army, in addition to plastic curtain-rod rings. One day he overheard two colonels complain that no gun existed that could meet their specifications. When Glock offered to make one, they laughed at him.

"You do not laugh at Mr. Glock," says Christopher Edwards, the burly former deputy sheriff of Jefferson County, Kentucky, who now runs Glock's training program in Smyrna, Georgia. "He takes that personally."

Glock never doubted he could make a superior gun. "That I knew nothing was my advantage," he says.

psicoanálisis como arte

Meltzer viewed psychoanalysis as an art form and essentially a process in which passion, personal commitment and the concern for patients were the main components of the “equipment” required for fostering their development.

psicoanálisis y arte

Meltzer's aesthetic interests, combined with the mother-baby model of early learning processes,[10] led to seeing psychoanalysis itself as an art form. His later works describe the relationship between analyst and analysand as an aesthetic process of symbol-making. This has had an influence on the philosophical view of the relation between art and psychoanalysis.[11]
