"münasip olmayan yakışıksız hareketler"

Foti Benlisoy'dan Futbol Tarihi

"keza şu az sayıdaki haber içerisinde dahi maçlar sırasında çıkan olaylara dair bir iki atıf bulunması, eskiden futbolun çok daha "olaysız", fanatizmden azade ve centilmence bir spor olduğuna dair popüler efsaneye kuşkuyla bakmamız gerektiğinin küçük bir göstergesi"

bu ufak araştırmaya teşekkürler.

James Joyce, Dubliners

"Sometimes in return for his theories she gave out some fact of her own life. With almost maternal solicitude she urged him to let his nature open to the full: she became his confessor. He told her that for some time he had assisted at the meetings of an Irish Socialist Party, where he had felt himself a unique figure amidst a score of sober workmen in a garret lit by an inefficient oil-lamp. When the party had divided into three sections, each under its own leader and in its own garret, he had discontinued his attendances. The workmen's discussions, he said, were too timorous; the interest they took in the question of wages was inordinate. He felt that they were hard-featured realists and that they resented an exactitude which was the produce of a leisure not within their reach. No social revolution, he told her, would be likely to strike Dublin for some centuries.

She asked him why did he not write out his thoughts. For what? he asked her, with careful scorn. To compete with phrasemongers, incapable of thinking consecutively for sixty seconds? To submit himself to the criticisms of an obtuse middle class which entrusted its morality to policemen and its fine arts to impresarios?"

‎"...we no longer look at each other, no longer hear each other, no longer speak to each other or call out to each other - our eyes are shut, our mouths closed, our ears blocked, we have no language, we are monads - we know, anticipate, love each other; ... No-one who has not experienced such ecstasy can know what being together means."

Defter

"In contrast with the book "proper," which is most often understood as the culmination of a long process, the notebook, on the other hand, is usually the beginning of a process — the incipient moment of poiesis when thought emerges from the foldings of flesh relation to find expression in gesture and inscription. One captures thought through writing while it is still felt in the body.."

Invisible Thread


Love re-presents I to itself broken.

"Self" defines the element in which "me" and "you", and "we" and "they", can take place. It is "in-itself" prior to any "ego", prior to any presentable "property".

structure of the with is the structure of the there.

"with" is the closeness, the brushing up against or the coming across, the almost-there of distanced proximity. When we tryo to evaluate this closeness (as if in a marketplace or railway station, or in a studyhall, or in a cemetery, we were to ask what are the meanings and values of these hundreds of people, of their restlesness and passivity), it comes out as frantic or distraught. But the meaning of the "with" itself, or the "with" of meaning, can be evaluated only in and by the "with" itself, an experience from which nothing can be taken away."

world is nothing else than the togetherness of all things; of all things touching the other.

touching is not a separate sense; it belongs to every sense.
