bion, esquizofrenia como panpsicopatología
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.

bion, parte no-psicótica
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.

"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.

levi-strauss, misceláneo
il travaille d’arrache-pied à la bibliothèque publique de New York, où il découvre des fonds ethnologiques très riches et entame sa thèse sur les Structures élémentaires de la parenté. «Je me suis senti assez vite homme de cabinet plutôt qu’homme de terrain»,
Lévi-Strauss ne rentre à Paris qu’en 1947. Quelques années plus tard, il refuse un poste à Harvard : «Je savais que j’appartenais par toutes mes fibres à l’Ancien Monde ; irrévocablement.»
En 1955, Tristes Tropiques marque un tournant : le professeur Lévi-Strauss, justement reconnu par ses pairs universitaires et chercheurs, devient un écrivain et savant mondialement connu. Ecrit à la demande de Jean Malaurie, lui-même ethnologue et directeur de la jeune collection Terre humaine, l’ouvrage tranche avec les précédents par son style et sa liberté de ton. Convaincu, après deux échecs au Collège de France, qu’il ne ferait pas de carrière universitaire, Claude Lévi-Strauss a accepté de «repenser ses aventures» et «d’écrire pour une fois sans précaution».
En 1962, dans la Pensée sauvage, il montre combien «la pensée à l’état sauvage, florissante dans tout esprit d’homme - contemporain ou ancien, proche ou lointain - tant qu’elle n’est pas cultivée et domestiquée pour accroître son rendement» n’a «rien de désordonné ni de confus», mais qu’au contraire, «partant d’une observation du monde qui témoigne d’une minutie et d’une précision stupéfiantes, elle analyse, distingue, classe, combine et oppose»
la musique, qui a été sans doute sa plus grande passion. Il voit un lien évident entre les mythes et la musique. Selon lui, «les structures mythiques préfiguraient à l’état latent les formes musicales»

no-saber
***
Crear una Escuela significa estar dispuesto, en todo momento, a sacrificar la institución, si es necesario, en favor del psicoanálisis. Lacan demostró esto sacrificando su Escuela cuando le pareció que ya no estaba funcionando para el psicoanálisis
***
El análisis es una profesión delirante, en la medida en que es pos ible encontrar entre los analistas a aquellos que piensan que están solos , pues la propia experiencia analítica lo favorece, por el hecho de que e n su consultorio el analista es analista sólo cuando analiza; es por eso que los analistas son proclives a llevar su subjetividad a lo absoluto.
****
La respuesta de Lacan fue sustituir las Sociedades por la Escuela, una institución cuya particularidad es la de no saber algo esencial, no saber qué es un analista.
******
Estoy esperando que en estas jornadas ocurra una discusión muy precisa para que se sepa si cada uno está preparado para sacrificar el goce de las rivalidades y de las oposiciones por una Escuela. La pregunta es: ¿el goce que se puede obtener de la Escuela podrá ser más fuerte que el goce que se obtiene al debatir y al herir al enemigo vencido? Tenemos que esperar para ver si eso se produce; antes de eso no podemos decir nada.
*****
Horacio Etchegoyen, futuro presidente de la IPA, es mi amigo. Cuando le preguntaron cuál era él tema que la IPA va a trabajar en el futuro, respondió: "La diferencia entre transferencia y repetición, que es un punto que Lacan señaló en 1964 y que él aprendió de mis conferencias caraqueñas del '80, 1o cual es muy simpático de su parte, pero no implica que tengamos tantas cosas para aprender.

in the enosphere,,,,,,,,,,Franck Mallet 2001
"It's a particular color, ambient music is intended to induce calm and a space to think. Ambient music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular."
It's strange to think a piece I recorded in two and a half days has aquired a kind of immortality. I thought it would be ephemeral. But it has a new life beyond the record. A part of me has become immortal, out of my control.
Nobody had really thought about this question, and yet we are increasingly likely to find ourselves in places with background music, an ambience. Still, no composers have thought to write for these modern spaces which represent 30% of our current musical experience.
I dreamed of a music without barriers, taking in classical instruments, new electronic instruments and "non-instruments"
I have always learnt things out of fascination.
For ten years Music For Airports was dismissed as crap!
People wanted to create a sound world using the studio, and not just to tell a story.
Music is my true home!
but when you study music in the classical system, you are always on the inside.

la revancha de lo intuitivo,,,,,,brian eno,,,,,,1999,,,,,,excerpts
But now I'm struck by the insidious, computer-driven tendency to take things out of the domain of muscular activity and put them into the domain of mental activity. This transfer is not paying off. Sure, muscles are unreliable, but they represent several million years of accumulated finesse. Musicians enjoy drawing on that finesse (and audiences respond to its exercise), so when muscular activity is rendered useless, the creative process is frustrated.
In my experience, the instruments and tools that endure (because they are loved by their users) have limited options.
Indeed, familiarity breeds content. When you use familiar tools, you draw upon a long cultural conversation - a whole shared history of usage - as your backdrop, as the canvas to juxtapose your work.
brian eno,,,,,,,wired interview,,,,,2007
But the breakthrough for me -- I happened to start working in studios just at the time that multi-tracking became available, and I realized it made music-making a lot like painting in that you could add and take away colors, you could stretch things and turn them upsidedown and do all sorts of different things. So I thought of myself as a sonic painter rather than as a composer.
So, it was always really trying to pick technologies that were around and seeing what else you could do with them. You know, I think that technology is always invented for historical reasons, to solve a historical problem. But they very soon reveal themselves to be capable of doing things that aren't historical that nobody had ever thought of doing before.
brian eno 2002
PETER HALLEY: I’m such a workaholic that the only way I can even make friends with people is by interviewing them. [laughs]
BRIAN: I make most of my friends through working situations as well.
PETER: That’s said to be a skill that’s prominent in women.
BRIAN: Yes. It led me to my theory that cities are places built for women.
PETER: Wow.
BRIAN: In cities, you have the opportunity to do all the things that women are really specialized at: intense social relationships and interactions, attention to lots of simultaneous details. And of course in cities you can do very few of the things that men are good at.
PETER: Like what?
BRIAN: You can’t break anything in a city. Everything is valuable, so you’re limited in how much you can test the physical nature of things — which I think is a big part of a man’s make up.
"I recently read Richard Sennett’s book The Uses of Disorder. It’s a very intelligent anti-planning book, and I thought, “This is fantastic, but nobody’s ever going to read it.” So I decided to condense it. I wanted to present the argument of the book in three thousand words. I went through it with a yellow highlighter, marking the bits that really got the germ of the idea. Then I photocopied all the parts I’d marked and collaged them together. After that, I had this idea that every serious book should be publishedin two forms. There should be the full version, but preceding it by a month or so should be the filtered version."
"...the introduction to his book Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity. It’s only a few pages long and it’s so good. The book is about Nabakov and Orwell, and about writing and the idea that works of imagination are the way that we arrive at new social concepts, rather than works of so-called rational deduction. In the end, what Rorty turns out to be saying is that philosophy is just another kind of writing. It doesn’t have any special grasp on the truth."
PETER: I’d like to bring up Norbert Elias again. In one of his books, he kind of refutes the idea of individual consciousness. He says consciousness only resides in the group. That seemed enormously important to me.
BRIAN: I recently read a book about the CIA’s experiments in the ‘60s and ‘70s using psychedelic drugs as interrogation tools. In the end, they found that what worked best was old-fashioned solitary confinement. It drove the subjects completely mad.
PETER: It seems that almost the biggest pain humans can feel is total aloneness.
BRIAN: Occasionally I go off for a few days just to sit somewhere on my own. I refer to it as “going into the abyss.”"One often used to hear high art people saying that pop music was so boring and formulaic. I never thought that was true. All that formula and repetition is like a great big vehicle for carrying the moment of difference — the tiny point where something happens that didn’t happen before. As a listener, the first question I ask myself is, “Why am I moved by that? Why does that difference matter to me?”
"If something I do gets criticized, I would never say, “They didn’t understand me,” or “What I did was too good for them.” I would assume there was something wrong with what I was doing."
"I’ve often thought that there are two varieties of artists. There’s the fussy type, which I tend to be, who always censor themselves, and then there are people like Miles Davis and Prince who just say, “Look, if it came from me, it’s probably good.” "
"A few years ago I was interested in what was happening to the act of curating. I’d seen a few shows in Europe, particularly in France and Germany, where the name of the curator was bigger on the poster than the names of the artists. It’s like saying, “Here’s somebody who can draw an interesting line through our culture. He can connect a few things which you’ll probably find worth taking seriously.”
"As an English person living in America in the early-’80s, I was much more receptive than a native would have been. I didn’t have many friends there, so I would just listen to the radio. There were complete lunatics on the airwaves — people whose views seemed so objectionable. I started recording them just because I wanted to show my friends in England what people in America were listening to."
"Things always look much more calculated in retrospect. I agree that you can draw a line through the things that I did, but at the time they all seemed chaotic to me. "

melissa auf der maur....in her words
"All of us are half men and half women we have just as much masculine as feminine, so I would definitely describe the new project as me wrestling with those two sides."
"I sold my life to Capitol Records; it sucks."
"I mean, the way I see it is, every penny I've ever made through music is free money."
"I am still making up songs in my head and on my answering machine."
"I must've been a rastafarian in a previous life. They think their hair is an extension of themselves, and every time I get mine cut, I cry. My mother is a big Bob Marley fan. Maybe that explains it. "
"I'm glad I spent a chapter of my life there to really get to know the ugly beauty of the American dream."
"The bass is the mother of all instruments."
"I get so into it. The only time I ever feel the same way is when I'm having sex; it's the epitome of unifying with something."
-Melissa on playing bass
"I do fuck, but i don't say fuck"
-Melissa after Courtney tries to get the audience to get Melissa to say fuck
"Canadian red-head, believes in aliens or other worlds. Likes sexy rock music. You must be able to take acid and not freak out."
-Personal ad
"I was just considering to start playing bass, and when I saw D'arcy playing those Gish songs, with these wacked out, kinda trippy guys, I just thought: I want to be this girl."
"I have to point out that I was born on St. Patrick's day and that both my parents have black hair and that I came out redheaded and pale. I mean I have lots of Irish in my blood, so it makes sense, but the redhead gene is a completely schizophrenic, chaotic DNA thing that makes no sense at all. they just come up whenever. there's no predicting it. scientists can't pin it down. so it's always been kind of a big hang up of mine. when I was a kid, I thought it was gross. and I was like, "i wanna be like everyone else. Please take away this red hair." but then throughout the years, I realized it was special. Someone gave me— I think a makeup artist —this scientific explanation that our pigment is fucked up and something we have reacts weird to the sun so freckles are the reaction. sometimes if I'm on mushrooms or something and I look in the mirror, I look green and I feel like there's major yellow. the moral of the story is that supposedly redheads have a wider color spectrum in their skin. there's green, blue, purple and brown in my skin so supposedly we can wear more colors than most people."
melissa auf der maur...."but I will be"
Her father bought her her first bass(A japanese Fender Squier) for her 21st birthday. "At that time I was going up to the local punk bands and asked if I could jam with them. 'Well', they said, 'Are you any good?' and I said, 'No, but I will be.'"
courtney love,,,,,,,por caitlin moran
But, as Love herself is the first to admit, “My press is disproportionate to the amount that I’ve done.”
“My mother told me she tried to abort me, and that I was the result of a rape. My dad says my mother was high on acid. I was raised by wolves.” She shrugs — maybe she has heard R. D. Laing’s aphorism, about character being conditioned by the fuck that made you.
“The language of love letters/Is the same/As suicide notes."
courtney love,,,,,,,,,por laura barton
"What does the man that I married have any fucking thing to do with my experience as a woman? Other than completely destroying half my life?"
"Kim Gordon [of Sonic Youth] sits me down and says, 'If you marry him your life is not going to happen, it will destroy your life.' But I said, 'Whatever, I love him, and I want to be with him!'" Love hesitates. "It wasn't his fault. He wasn't trying to do that."

She's been a stripper, an actor, an addict, a rock star and, since 1994, the seriously troubled widow of Kurt Cobain. Here, she talks to Laura Barton about her 'transgressions', the day Johnny Depp saved her life, and why she's been blacklisted by Hollywood.

Burning, but not out ... Courtney Love in 2004. Photograph: Scott Gries/Getty
She is wearing a pussycat-bow blouse, sipping lapsang souchong, her eyes tilted down demurely over her china cup. Poised in all her silken finery, the figure once described by Rolling Stone magazine as "the most controversial woman in the history of rock" is barely recognisable. As much as we think we know who Courtney Love is, nothing prepares you for the sprawling intelligence or the keen beauty of her. Love is not like most female celebrities. She is bigger than that. Her hands are meaty and her eyes enormous, her bosom has been surgically enhanced and her lips swollen with collagen. She looks as if someone has coloured her in and strayed beyond the lines.
But Love has always been about crossing lines. She has been a delinquent, a stripper, an actor, a drug addict, a rock star, and since 1994, the widow of Kurt Cobain, the Nirvana frontman who committed suicide at the height of his fame, leaving her with a two-year-old daughter, Frances Bean, and a note that claimed: "It's better to burn out than fade away."
"Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt," she says today with weary exasperation, and she lights a cigarette. Her voice is a threadbare drawl. Love, 42, has just returned from an appearance on Radio 4's Woman's Hour where she was dismayed to find that the interview lingered on the suicide of Cobain. "It was this lovely woman in a grey sweater, but it was so fucking awful. She asked me, 'Had you any intimation that Kurt was going to kill himself?' And, you know, sometimes I don't know how to just do that. I thought it would be more of a feminist thing." She sits crotch-forward in her short skirt, legs splayed wide. "What does the man that I married have any fucking thing to do with my experience as a woman? Other than completely destroying half my life?"
Even before his death, Cobain had dominated Love's life. They met in 1989 at an L7 concert, when they were both fledgling musicians with burgeoning drug addictions, but by the time they married, in 1992, Nirvana had become one of the biggest bands in the world. "Kim Gordon [of Sonic Youth] sits me down and says, 'If you marry him your life is not going to happen, it will destroy your life.' But I said, 'Whatever, I love him, and I want to be with him!'" Love hesitates. "It wasn't his fault. He wasn't trying to do that."
By the time of his death, however, Love had become something of a hate-figure in the eyes of many of her husband's fans, and in the days, weeks, years of its aftermath, she has been accused of everything from driving Cobain to suicidal despair to hiring a hitman to kill him. Death threats have been made, abuse hurled and shotgun shells thrown on stage at her shows. Such was the level of devotion Cobain inspired, that Love was not allowed to own his death like other widows - she had to share it with his grieving public. Though she does, she points out, own his ashes. They are kept in a bank vault in Los Angeles. "No cemetery in Seattle will take them."
The most obvious comparison is Yoko Ono, whose own art has been for ever overshadowed by the death of her rock star husband. Indeed, on the song 20 Years in Dakota, Love draws her own analogy: "She spent 20 years like a virus/ They want to burn the witch who's inside us/ Well you, you don't fuck with the fabulous four."
Why, I wonder, did Cobain have the success and not her? "Cause the complete phenomenon happened," she shrugs. "After 20 years of people trying to find the next thing, to follow REM, he happened to be the one with the talent and the looks." Yes, but so did she. Love is momentarily quiet. "Yeah, but you know, I'm a woman."

My father and mother never read me fairytales to put me to sleep at night or ever sung lullabies. I used to get my nose pushed in books on art and culture instead. That gave me the desire to read voraciously though so it was ultimately a good thing.
But my unusual childhood did make me a strong character so I'm not complaining".
"I was nine and living with Daria and my half-sister Anna (from Nicolodi's previous relationship). I wanted to be a writer and wrote loads of weird poetry. I was convinced I was going to be a child prodigy in the literary arena.
B. Monkey was the first time I didn't think of acting as a stupid profession.
I chose hard work over sex. I didn't need that sort of distraction. I wanted to be on my own and take proper charge of my life.
"After all the depressing problems with B. Monkey, I almost lost interest in being an actress so I decided to write Scarlet Diva to save myself from death. I knew if I didn't write it, I would die creatively. I was obsessed and all I wanted to do was write this movie.
I'm not an ambitious actress, my ambition is to do whatever I choose to do well and not embarrass myself".

An introvert, she immersed herself in books as a way of making up for having virtually no friends. While the kids at her school were obsessing over Madonna and Duran Duran, Argento was crushing on Dostoyevsky and Baudelaire and watching the films of Roman Polanski. “Those were my youth idols,” she says. At age eight, she had already published a book of poems.
“I am not a princess; I am a worker. I don’t want my ass to be licked. Maybe that’s why I do a million other things. Acting is not hard – that’s a lie that many actors tell. They feel embarrassed to be appreciated for something that isn’t very hard. So they can become spoiled brats. I fell into this trap for a while myself.”
the teenage Asia, who shaved her head and wore boyish clothes, spent much of her time convinced she was not much better looking than one of the corpses in her father’s movies. “I was the ugly one,” she says, “the weirdo, the geek, the freak.”
“I was very young when I started being naked in front of people – 21 or so,” she says. “From being someone who only cared about studying and reading all these books and then all of a sudden being the sultry bitch from hell, it was funny to me. Being a sex queen was funny. Today, I see it as my insecurity and my fragility manifesting itself. But at the time I thought, ‘This is the real power – look at my pussy.’”

BRUCE [LA BRUCE]: Were you always different? I envision your childhood as sort of gothic, not quite normal.
ASIA: Well, it wasn’t normal in the sense that I was never happy. The horror wasn’t cinematic — it was in my head. I knew melancholy very well.
BRUCE: Don’t you ever enjoy the more transgressive scenes?
ASIA: They can certainly be freeing. In The Phantom Of The Opera, I lose my virginity in front of my father. It’s the Electra complex to the maximum!
BRUCE: Do you think of yourself as having a strong masculine side?
ASIA: Yes, much, much stronger than the feminine.
I don’t care about being in big films. I’d rather work two days on a TV show and live on the money for a year.
The thought of someone coming into my place and leaving their things was a nightmare to me. The idea of being obliged to talk to somebody — of having that level of intimacy — disgusted me.
the only person I want to spend time with is my boyfriend, Marco. He’s very peaceful and calm. He plays the piano, and I read, and he’s never intrusive. He’s a great person. It’s a miracle to me, because I’ve never even had friends that I would want to hang around with for longer than twenty-four hours.
I’m proud to be different, to be the monster.
BRUCE: You certainly capture that sensation in Scarlet Diva. Though you don’t show penetration, the sex scenes go way beyond acting.
ASIA: It’s true, the sex scenes are real. But I wasn’t interested in penetration — I was interested in showing what the real sex did to the faces and the bodies of the actors
I did, but I don’t remember much of my childhood. My memories begin at nine, when I started working. That’s when my life started to feel like my own.
My favorite thing about porno is that it’s real — I mean the sex is real. Porno moves me so much more than films like Gone With The Wind, because I am always reminded that these people on screen actually met, and this actually happened. No other kind of film can give you that feeling.
Abel [Ferrara] taught me a lot. He’s the most manipulative and crazy beast, of course.
Walken’s performance [in Abel Ferrara's New Rose Hotel] was brilliant. He was so completely out of his mind, so incredibly angry, that he couldn’t remember his lines. We always had to keep big sheets of paper tacked up with his words written on them. [laughs]
