 course, and, in so doing, rid the world of a terrible scourge, reviled by all yet fascinating as well to a small, perverted
 subset of the community who had watched their antics progress from random, petty violence to the full-fleged sociopathic
 acts they had been performing, almost as if for entertainment for our benefit, for the last eight months all this mirroring the
 other night, when, travelling uptown on the 6 train, a man and a woman got on at 23rd street, laughing and babbling to one
 another in some uncomprehensible language while I leaned back against the bench, trying hard not to fall asleep, and the
 woman sitting next to me jabbed at my arm and asked me creakily, a microphone held up to her neck because I think her
 larnyx had been removed, »What language you think they're talking« the problem for the revolutionary artist in the nineteenth
 century--perhaps it is still the problem--was how to use the conditions of artistic production with easel, in the studio, in the
 salon for a month, and then on the wall of a sitting room in the Faubourg Saint-Germain? how to a means of artistic
 distribution to bypass the art market or the exhibition? how to destroy the normal public for art, and invent another? how to
 make art »popular«? how to exploit one's privacy, and the insights it allowed, and yet escape from it? And of course, there,
 alone on a bench as the moon sunk, I sat, the darkness engulfing me in my little boat as the lake rippled around me, fish
 leaping, frogs croaking in the dark early morn, and still I was there, alone on a large vast sea of metaphorical water, waiting
 for the sun to rise and shed some light on me, the fish, the frog, the boat and the lake And of course, there, alone on a bench

 attention to me limping down the highway or perhaps an eye missing and an eye patch like some Napoleonic hero with a
 sword rusted from continental wars and a sash of Chinese silk as red as the lips of a country wife cooking sourdough
 biscuits in the cool afternoon of late summer in the mountains rearing up over the shoulder of the world cool and soft like my
 cousin Jane that summer on the lake in the late 1950's though every time I've touched someone remains burned into my brain
 like as I walked down moshoulu parkway, the street of my youth, in my mind while sitting here in new jersey, the idea of the

 a l'indigotenie theory is assimilated into the humanities in two principal ways--by critical interpretation and by artistic
 experiment »heuretics,« the latter approach, functions at the same level of generality as »hermeneutics« theorists from plato to

 this fact opens an op- portunity for a heuretic pedagogy a young girl accidentally sees her fiance urinating and is positive she
 can never marry him, as his penis is far too long and would hurt or kill her her mothe persuades her to try it first, as she can
 then break the engagement if it is really too long they discuss the matter with the fiance and all go to the bedroom "now, i'll
 put my two hands around it,» says the mother, «and then, if you think you can take more, you tell me and i'll take my hands
 away» as intercourse progresses, the mother takes away first one hand, then the other, without waiting to be told «oh,
 mother!» the girl finally cries, «why don't you take your hands away?" (idaho, 1919) the most powerful influence of the

 number of mental operrations: we might speak of structuralist activity as we once spoke of surrealist activity the goal of all
 structuralist activity, whether reflexive or poetic, is to reconstruct an »object« if psychologically speaking, the striptease
 relationship is sadomasochistic, socil\ologically this sadomasochism is essential to the educational rite that is being fulfilled
