- 05:1805:18, 14 March 2023 diff hist +858 N Scene Created page with "''We, not I; on a scene, not in a mind.'' Every scene, every event, is modeled on, and an iteration of, the Originary Scene/Event. Once the Originary Scene "works" and is iterated on such that Linguistic Presence is able to extend over nonritual communication within the community, the size of the group involved in the scene can become arbitrarily large (although always in a Centered Ordinality). If we ask, how do we determine the boundaries of a scene and the end of..." Tag: Visual edit

- 04:5804:58, 14 March 2023 diff hist +1,163 N Super-Sovereignty Created page with "“Super-sovereignty” is Adam Katz's translation of “imperium in imperio.” “Super-sovereignty,” with its echoing of “superhero,” provides an appropriately derisive connotation. The imperium in imperio is, in the first instance, the compromising of sovereign authority with the attribution of sovereignty to another authority within the same system. So, for example, who is sovereign in the US—the president? The Supreme Court? Congress? The Constitution? On..." Tag: Visual edit

- 04:5204:52, 14 March 2023 diff hist +967 N Ostensive Imperative World Created page with "The ostensive and imperative signs constitute a kind of loop: once we are looking at the same thing we can request, and if the request is complied with we can confirm that by repeating the name of the thing. Eric Gans, in The Origin of Language, uses the relation between surgeon and nurse to illustrate an ostensive-imperative dialectic: the surgeon requests the “scalpel,” and the nurse passes it to him, repeating, “scalpel.” We can think of this as a self-contain..." current Tag: Visual edit
- 04:4804:48, 14 March 2023 diff hist +784 N Operator of Negation Created page with "Operator of Negation is the concept Eric Gans uses in The Origin of Language to account for the kind of “negative ostensive” that would be the first proto-declarative sentence. “Operator of negation” is a term within logic and it is important in our context because Gans uses it to refer to the kind of open-ended prohibition (like “don’t smoke”) that occupies a kind of middle ground between the imperative (which must be obeyed or defied within the temporal f..."

- 04:4704:47, 14 March 2023 diff hist +538 N Onomastic Pedagogy Created page with "This refers to a pedagogy of naming, which is the most fundamental form of teaching and learning: pointing to something and saying, “this is_______.” When we study something and try to instruct each other, what concerns us is how things should be named. We name things so that we all know we are talking about and looking at and listening to the same thing. This is ultimately the most important responsibility of the central authority—to govern is to name, and to name..." Tag: Visual edit
- 04:4604:46, 14 March 2023 diff hist +579 N Omnicentrism Created page with "Omnicentrism is a concept Gans introduces near the end of Originary Thinking. It’s a kind of riposte to the then popular postmodern concept of “decentering”—for Gans, even decentering doesn’t go far enough; every sign user must become a center in himself. Katz accepts the descriptive accuracy of the concept—this does follow from desacralization and the general possibility that a human can occupy the center—while insists that there is always a hierarchy of c..."

- 04:4504:45, 14 March 2023 diff hist +1,145 N Mimism Created page with "“Mimism” is the foundational concept of Marcel Jousse’s anthropology. Jousse is one of the great discoverers of the world of oral culture in the 20th century and in a way the most radical and consistent—and, the most clearly convergent with the mimetic theory of Girard and Gans. For Jousse, we are mimers, or imitators, all the way down (our every gesture or reaction must be learned, and how else other than by imitating?) and all the way up (our “highest” inte..."

- 04:4404:44, 14 March 2023 diff hist +1,932 N Metalanguage of Literacy Created page with "Metalanguage of Literacy is a concept from David Olson’s The Mind on Paper, which is in a sense a “sequel” to his much more wide-ranging The World on Paper. According to Olson, writing has to represent not simply speech (what was actually said) but an entire speech situation. That is, everything in a speech situation that contributes to meaning—tone, context, gesture, the social relations between the interlocutors, and so on—has to be represented by words in th..."
