And this discusses the appropriation of the concept of the clinamen in late 20th century writing by philosophers/thinkers:

The Oulipian's definition of clinamen, taken from the book: Oulipo Compendium eds. Alistair Brotchie and Harry Mathews. Download the image to your desktop so that you can rotate it to read it - I have had problems tonight getting it up here. Bloody technology. Primitive functions!
Alfred Jarry - http://www.ralphmag.org/jarry.html
ADDITION: forgot to give some more information on Alfred Jarry... I will email you all a small number of PDFs - articles and reviews and poems, which ought to help provide some idea of who Alfred Jarry was and what his work was like.
My idea for the Greek masks - based on a statue depicting Demeter's daughter, Kore, whcih I found from looking for the Aristophanes' play: Thesmophoriazusae.. what do you think?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesmophoriazusae
NB: the play itself. I was reading about Aristophanes to educate myself a little about the history of dramatic comedy in Greece. This play is feminist to some extent and therefore politically interesting for being both a comedy and a feminist work. Who knows if it is good though... need to read it.
Finally, two links to info about Aristotle's logic:http://www.philosophypages.com/hy/2n.htm
