Catherine Deneuve in Belle de Jour (Luis Buñuel, 1967)

Cast: Catherine Deneuve, Jean Sorel, Michel Piccoli, Geneviève Page, Pierre Clémenti, Françoise Fabian, Macha Méril, Muni, Maria Latour, Georges Marchal. Screenplay: Luis Buñuel, Jean-Claude Carrière, based on a novel by Joseph Kessel. Cinematography: Sacha Vierny. Production design: Robert Clavel. Film editing: Louisette Hautecoeur. 

Belle de Jour is a famously enigmatic film, venturing into (and often blurring) the space between reality and fantasy, between waking life and dreams. It has led a lot of people astray, into questions like: What's buzzing in the Asian client's box that so frightens the other prostitutes in the brothel, but so satisfies Séverine (Catherine Deneuve)? Why does Séverine so often hear cats meowing? What is the Duke (Georges Marchal) doing that so shakes the coffin in which he has posed Séverine and causes her to flee into the rain? Why is Pierre (Jean Sorel) so fascinated by the wheelchair that foreshadows his fate? How much of any of this is meant to be reality? Critics have been more or less preoccupied by these and other matters of speculation and interpretation for more than 50 years.  Of course, it would be abrogating the critics' responsibility if they failed to pursue the aesthetic and moral effects of the enigmas introduced into the film by Luis Buñuel and screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière. But their effect is collective and cumulative, and pursuing any one of these details in search of a definitive answer is like concentrating on the threads at the expense of seeing the tapestry. Belle de Jour is subject to all forms of analysis -- Freudian, Jungian, Lacanian, Marxist, feminist, you name it -- but without exhausting its possibilities to tantalize. Buñuel's major achievement in the film is in sticking to his roots in surrealism without resorting to surrealist clichés: Every scene, even the obvious fantasies like the one in which Séverine is pelted with muck by Pierre and Husson (Michel Piccoli), is grounded in actuality, down to the specific address and the mundane Parisian location given to the brothel run by Madame Anaïs (Geneviève Page). It's only in reflecting on the film that we begin to question which scenes are "real" and which aren't. Belle de Jour is one of those inexhaustible films that you revisit with the certain knowledge that it will look slightly different to you every time.

Kreisen

1.

Warburg ist wie Foucault ein Archäologe. Seine Untersuchungen zum Nachleben der Antike werden phobisch begleitet, wenn man so will: von Sorgen. Das ist die Ikonophobie oder besser gesagt die Phobie, die nicht die Angst oder Furcht, nicht die Liebe oder das Glück, die nicht die Rage oder die Wut ist, sondern deren Regung, die Regung aller lustvollen und lustleeren, unlustvoll und unlustleeren Affekte, Gefühle, Triebfedern und Willen. Das Motto zu dieser phobischen Begleitung lautet für Warburg seit den ersten Entwürfen für die "Grundlegende Bruchstücke"_ Du lebst und thust mir nichts. Wie Foucault der Sorge in der Antike nachspürt und sich dabei mit der Stoa beschäftigt, beschäftigt sich Warburg mit einem Distanzschaffen, das Kultur- und Körpertechnik ist und mit Unbeständigkeit umgehen soll. Warburg entwickelt dabei einen Sinn für eine Technik, die man Kreisen nennen kann und deren Züge elliptisch sind. Damit kommen in ihnen ausgelassene Objekte vor, die minoren Objekte. Man fürchtet sie vielleicht wie der Kürassier das Rauschen im Walde, aber wenn sie auch schon keine Lösungen anbieten, dann doch Lässigkeiten.

2.

Warburg entfaltet das Kreisen stumm, nicht in einer Begriffsarbeit, sondern in der Praxis mit Bildern, einer Arbeit an Bildern, insbesondere der Anordnung von Bildern auf Tafeln. Und doch ist das Arbeit am Objekt, und die ist so scharf und genau, dass es keinerlei Aufwandes bedarf, um von dort als Arbeit am Begriff weitergeführt zu werden.

Die Vita Beata von Seneca bitte schon in den erste Pasagen zwei Begriffe, zu denen Warburg arbeitet: vita und circumspicere. Warburg ist damit einer der Autoren in der Moderne, die eine Operationalisierung von Differenz, iher normativen und formatierenden Operationen, als Kreisen fasst und der von da aus mit Gabriel de Tarde, Gilles Deleuze, dem schon genannten Foucault oder Latour verglichen werden kann, aber sicher auch mit denen, die das Kreisen weitgehend apollinisch fassen, also etwa Josef Esser oder Hans Georg Gadamer.

BOEUF BOURGUIGNON RECIPE

Boeuf Bourguignon, a treasure of French cuisine, embodies the very essence of rich, comforting gastronomy. Originating in the Burgundy region of France, this iconic dish is a celebration of simple ingredients and complex flavors. Let's discover together the classic recipe for Boeuf Bourguignon, as well as three creative variations, accompanied by suggestions for accompaniments and a selection of exquisite wines to complete this culinary experience.

Classic Beef Bourguignon recipe

Ingredients:

1.5 kg beef (cut into pieces)

200g smoked bacon

250g button mushrooms (cleaned and quartered)

3 carrots (peeled and thickly sliced)

2 onions (thinly sliced)

4 garlic cloves (crushed)

750 ml red wine (preferably Pinot Noir)

500 ml beef stock

2 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 bay leaves

Fresh thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil

Butter

Instructions:

Season the meat with salt and pepper, then brown in a casserole dish with olive oil. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, brown the lardons until golden. Add the onions, carrots and mushrooms and sauté for a few minutes.

Add the flour and mix well to form a roux.

Pour in the red wine, beef stock and tomato paste. Add the meat, garlic, thyme and bay leaves.

Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer on a low heat for 2-3 hours, until the meat is tender.

At the end of cooking, adjust the seasoning to taste and serve hot.

Creative variations

Beef Bourguignon with Caramelized Shallots: Add caramelized shallots for a subtle sweetness that blends perfectly with the richness of the sauce.

Beef Bourguignon with White Wine: Use white wine instead of red for a lighter, more delicate version of the traditional dish.

Beef Bourguignon with Root Vegetables: Incorporate root vegetables such as parsnips and celeriac for a rustic, earthy variation.

Accompaniment Ideas

Homemade potato purée: A creamy purée to soak up the delicious sauce.

Fresh tagliatelle: Fresh pasta is perfect for capturing

every drop of sauce.

Gratin dauphinois: Oven-baked sliced potatoes with cream and garlic.

Haricots Verts Sautés à l'Ail: Crisp green beans with a touch of garlic.

Pain de campagne: A slice of rustic bread to top the sauce.

Green Salad with Walnuts: A light, crunchy salad to balance the richness of the main course.

Mushroom Sauces: Mushrooms sautéed in a butter sauce to intensify the flavors.

Bernard-Henri Lévy contro gli antiumanisti che vedono nel virus un messia

Roma. “Di fronte a questo messianismo virologico, di fronte a questi fiumi di terrore e di morte, non dobbiamo stancarci di ricordare il principio caro al mio maestro Georges Canguilhem: ‘I virus non parlano, i virus non hanno alcun messaggio, un virus è stato, da tempo immemorabile, puro disordine, pura morte’”. E’ con un riferimento al filosofo ed epistemiologo francese molto noto negli anni Settanta che Bernard-Henri Lévy apre il suo nuovo libro “Ce virus qui rend fou” (Grasset in Francia, La nave di Teseo in Italia).

Lévy vi attacca la sinistra moralista in preda a un misto di “malthusianesimo, antiumanesimo e marshmallow penitenziale”. Come l’ex ministro della Transizione ecologica di Macron, Nicolas Hulot, autore di un manifesto in cento punti per un mondo migliore post-Covid. “Ascoltandoli, la natura si vendicherebbe e il virus sarebbe una ‘grande opportunità’”, commenta Lévy. Il saggista francese parla di “antropofobia radicale”. E’ all’opera qui “il malthusianesimo e la sua teoria degli ‘uomini in più’. L’antiumanesimo levistraussiano e la sua idea che il vero virus sia l’uomo”. Qualche giorno fa, sul Monde, proprio Philippe Descola, il celebre antropologo che fu allievo di Claude Lévi-Strauss di cui ha ereditato anche la famosa cattedra al Collège de France, ha detto che “il capitalismo è nato in Europa, ma non è definibile etnicamente e continua a propagarsi come un’epidemia, solo che non uccide direttamente quelli che lo praticano, ma le condizioni di vita di tutti gli abitanti della Terra. Noi siamo diventati dei virus per il pianeta”. E’ una epidemia di sermoni di questo tenore. Il filosofo Mark Alizart scrive dalle colonne di Libération: “Contiamo ancora le morti da Covid-19. Perché non stiamo contando le morti da crisi ecologica e perché non stiamo mostrando la curva delle emissioni di carbonio che dovremmo ‘appiattire’?”. Il professore di Economia ecologica all’Università di Barcellona, ​​Federico Demaria, pone la stessa domanda su Médiapart: “L’attuale pandemia è solo un aspetto della crisi antropogenica (creata dall’uomo) nota con il nome di antropocene”.

Un ragionamento che, se portato alla sua logica conseguenza, secondo Lévy, suona così: “Sarebbe più onesto nel complesso dire che ci sono troppe persone in questo mondo, che forse è l’uomo, dopo tutto, il virus”. Se la prende poi con “la sinistra al cherosene” che favoleggia la decrescita con la ricchezza e la libertà altrui vivendo nei viali alberati di Parigi, “come Thomas Piketty che si assume il diritto di decidere quali imprese, o quali viaggi sono o non sono essenziali”. Attacca chi, come Bruno Latour, “si è appollaiato sulle spalle dei morti per venderci il mondo di domani”.

La tesi di Lévy è che “stiamo assistendo a un cambiamento di civiltà. Da Rousseau, la Repubblica è stata fondata su un contratto sociale. Oggi, sullo sfondo dell’igienismo impazzito, siamo in procinto di passare al contratto vitale (dammi le tue libertà, le scambierò con una garanzia di salute)”.

Il filosofo trova “grottesco”, infine, che, in alcuni paesi sia stato istituito un giorno del ricordo per i morti della pandemia. “Grottesco. E soprattutto indecente. C’è un memoriale alla Resistenza. Un memoriale dell’Olocausto e un altro per il genocidio armeno. Le morti da Covid, come il cancro o il diabete, non sono martiri della storia”. All’origine della follia che dà il titolo al libro di Lévy c’è una profonda “stanchezza della libertà”.

Schmerling’ – M. D. – took a commissionaire and George and A- and I went out (walked) at 10 35 – 1st to Collardin’s took back the 2 plans of Liège 4/. and got in exchange a German French and English vocabulary 4/. and a Belgian Livre de poste 2/50 – left these at home and then went for 10 minutes to the cathedral (St. Paul) -  neat, clean, marble skirted, handsome remarkably comfortable church – with handsome painted window east and two partly painted in the transept north and south a German had just been at the top of this church – then to St. Jacques at 11 and sent George and the commissionaire home for Oddy – old gothic church very neat and interesting and handsome founded by bishop Baldric in 1014 – the cathedral ceiling painted in a running pattern, that of St. Jacques much handsome – good deal of [?] imitating the effect of guilding – the church undergoing great repairs – the man who shewed us about said to the 300,000 francs? of which government gave 25,000 fr. but what was that – waited for the servants ½ hour – then 5 minutes longer and off to Les mineurs at 11 35 and the priests’ college adjoining the bishops’ palace – 140 etudiàns, at 400fr. per annum – In the corridors an excellent gravure of Rome, and chronological gravure of the heads and dates of all the popes, all the Kings of Spain, and all the Roma emperors – saw the dining room kitchen and lecture room – good, but very plain rooms, nothing to see – the bishops’ palace not shewn a merely pretty good private house – the church (all the same corps de bâtiment) neat clean very white and pretty and handsome enough – all the churches here less than usual encumbered with Roman catholic frippery – off from here at 1 35 – ½ hour at a booksellers in passing and bought several little things, not dear – then up to the church of St. Martin more striking in exterior and like commanding situation than worth visiting for its interior – pretty little oak-carved pulpit some pictures by Latour, and some tolerable little basso-relievo marble medallions by Delcour who sculptured the foundation (Virgin and child on pedestal water from the mouths of 4 lions into as many stone troughs) in the Place de St. Paul – from St. Martins’ went to the adjoining barrière and looked down upon the barrière St. Marguerite by which we had entered and close to which was our coal-pit – fine view on this side – but magnificent one from the garden of the cafè de belle vue looking down to the other side the hill, upon Liège and its fine river and voisinage – vineyards and gardens and long chimneys but very little smoke to be seen from houses or engines – our commissionaire said the coal of Liege did not make much smoke – true there is not much – a large 100 horse engine does not make more (as far as we have seen) than a common kitchen fire in England! How is this? – Delighted with the view – sent the servants home to dinner before 2 – ourselves back at 2 20 – got down the hill by a near little narrow way along the Derrière l’Eglise de St. Jean and soon at the theatre and at home – A- tired but lay on the sofa – made herself some tea as yesterday and seemed quite refreshed again in about an hour – I read the almanach de Liège lent us by our host and then till 4 wrote all but the 1st 5 lines of today – A- and I went out at 4 5 – bought pretty blue silk pincushion topped boite aux gants 12/. – then sauntered along the streets to the university – sought out our portière – she was with a party of French went with them to the salle (lecture room) – very large good handsome circular squared room – benches en amphithéâtre for the étudiants, and above a colonade gallery – very good effect – to the cabinet d’histoire naturelle mineralogy and geology and in the cabinet de physique et anatomie – mathematical instruments and anatomical preparation everything very nice – the cabinet of M. le docteur Schmerling not yet purchased but les administrateurs sur le pied de l’acheter – among the coal fossil vegetable remains saw one from la mine de l’espérance which it seems is at Seraing and belongs to Mr. Cockerill  and the woman as I understood said it was deeper than the houillère of Sainte Marguerite – an hour at the university then sauntered along the quai to the post the singular looking old brick building that Mt. de Piète – went up one of the several little streets (opening on to the Quai) not 4ft. wide I should guess about 3ft. 8in. wide according to my parasol returned by the marché and called on booksellers Place St. Lambert and bought the Liège almanac (vid. line 5 of today) etc. – home at 7 5 dinner about 7 ¼ in an hour – at 9 ¼ went down to see Mr. Mathiolis’ cellars, kitchen baths, and lastly his stable to see a Hannover horse (aetatis 9) that he played all sorts of coaxing tricks – with to shew how quiet it was – an hours’ business – his fruit cupboard and foyer de cuisine the best worth seeing things – A- tired – it was too much for her – fine day – F59° now at 10 ¾ pm – fine day – rain from about 8 am

A Quixotic Goal: To assemble an irregular para-academic group in order to further the development and study of “technologies of self-parody”.

A Question: What is an irregular para-academic group?

An Answer: To be a para-academic, as opposed to what I consider to be a proper academic, is to have tools, trainings, and capacities for staging intellectual inventions that are comparable to the tools, trainings, and capacities that academics possess, yes, but to have all that without being an academic, without having an official academic post. Irregular para-academics are para-academics who do not maintain formal relationships with official academic organizations: their intellectual proclivities and activities cannot be fully recognized by and formally integrated with the academic activities of any official institute of higher learning and research. By contrast, the intellectual proclivities and activities of regular para-academics may be fully recognized by and formally integrated with the academic activities of an official institute of higher learning and research.

A Few Role Models: It will come as no surprise to those who follow my work closely that, as I imagine my irregular para-academic group, the image being conjured up by my mind is a dissimulation of the Bureau of Surrealist Research in the mid-1920s under the direction of Antonin Artaud and the dissident surrealist groups of the 1930s associated with George Bataille and Pierre Klossowski (i.e., the Documents group, Acéphale, the Collège de Sociologie). What’s more, it should come as no surprise that the aforementioned role models, as well as a host of other role models that I have left unmentioned, are all situated in that liminal period before the dawn of so-called Big Science, that period during which Small Science dreamt big but operated small because, although Small Science could conceive of Big Science coming around the corner, Big Science was not yet operationally viable. Big Science, once it became operationally viable, gave regular (para-)academics tools, trainings, and capacities to intellectually intervene in certain arenas that no irregular para-academic group could ever rival. That being said, however, Big Science’s tools, trainings, and capacities are a dis-advantage to regular (para-)academics in arenas that require nimble, guileful, and improvised intellectual maneuvers, including, of course, the single most important arena for me: the development and study of technologies of self-parody. In the era of Big Science, irregular para-academics can and, more often than not, do excel at and outclass regular (para-)academics in performing nimble, guileful, and improvised intellectual maneuvers.

Penitent Magdalen with two flames, Georges DeLaTours (unknown date but could be around 1640 ca)

I might start a series about penitent magdalen, and i'm not sorry about that

The characteristic themes of his first production where often popular, with attention to marginalized or mundane figures and action. In his senior years his themes changed, he prefered painting about human sufference and faith through semple forms and figures, essential expression and formal purity.

During a window of 5-10 years Georges De LaTour paintend a series of Penitent Magdalen, this is the first of the series. This paintins is inspired by the lights, and shadows of Caravaggios production.

We are in front of a young woman, looking at a candle with a high flame refletcing into a beutiful Baroque style mirror, some jewelry clatters the table. The woman is wearing a nice white shirt and a red long skirt, that almost remember the red drapes caravaggio used in his painting. In her lap she has a skull, and her hands are clasped on it. On her feet a still life of old jewelry. We don't see the face of the woman, she is looking almost behind the mirror into the darkness, unknown to us spectators.

From what we see we can understand what this painting is about, knowing that DeLaTours themes where the trancience of things and the looming death on us. We see on her lap a skull, the meanings behind it are multiple, she was a follower of Jesus and the skull could meant the golgota (the hill where jesus was crixified) so we can understand that this particular moment in wich we see Magdalen is after the death of jesus. But the skull is also the death, as humans we need to be aware about it.

Clothes are very important, we see that Magdalen has expensive clothes, shes a courtesan, not just any peasant, probably she was the woman of someone important. the red of the skirt symbolizes her past as a free woman, slave of lust, her open shirt is a reference to this life, the hair left loose indicates both the libertine past and the anointing and drying of Christ's feet. But the legends says that after she never cut her hair again.

The jewels scattered all around, however, indicate that Maddalene has now stripped herself of her old life to follow the faith leaving the jewels ment leaving the material goods and her previus life.

Finally the candle that reflects in the mirror, usually the flames represent god and therefore it can be assumed that he is meditating and contemplating god and that he is present with her, the fact that the light is reflected could mean three things: the candle also symbolizes the passage of time and therefore the arrival of death, but it could also symbolize the death and resurrection of Christ since there are two candles because he died twice, or his newfound faith in God.

The mirror indicates magdalen vanity.
