Earlier, I wrote a long and garbled post. I've left it in place as I'll need to refer to it. A scrapbook entry. I did not want to gloss over (if you will pardon the expression) Lacan's formulae of sexuation, which you had suggested might be used in your costume designs. I wanted to understand what the formulae were and work through some inevitably reactive ideas of my own. What intrigued me the most was the concept of the exception. But I have been interested in this concept before, and in slightly different articulations of it. I have yet to take it as a subject of study and do something worthwhile with it. Anyway: it is part of my rough ideas here at the moment.
In AK's last post below, I am very interested in the idea elaborated about the individual's need to seek out a sovereign subject for themselves. The quotation from Beckett resonates. Yes.
I would like to be at a point by the end of this weekend where I have a clearer task set out. What I have been thinking about is very general, and this is a problem; there are connections to AK's ideas as written below and to the costumes, but I need to work on mine more. I also need to enter into a real conversation with you all as soon as we can, to find out your comments on what I wish to discuss, and vice versa no doubt.
