Apologia
When
the structures and protocols that filter
the
whelm are absent ( or, more diabolically:
removed),
what is exposed is the matrix, womb, chaos – which
might be
said to have it’s own “order” but it’s an
order
uncanny and unfamiliar to our “arches.”
An-archy.
Feels more like BB Wolf at the door,
say,
huffing & puffing.
Revelation. Apocalypse – literally opening
(apo)
& exposing what is concealed
by our structures, protocols,
habits,
routines, rituals, rites. Oooomygawd,
anyone is
likely
to exclaim.
We
don’t normally see our ORDER as a
cover-up,
concealing the chaos, or our terms
as determining,
defining & excluding, eclipsing
& occluding the REST.
And so the
words Apocalypse and Revelation
have
monumental dislocating & crucial connotations
of shock and awe as opposed to
mere description:
Look. Look at what we over
look!
See what we cover! Consider what’s
behind our neatness, tidy, predictable
and necessary habits of mind and
common sense—what’s left out by
what we factory in.
What
is gained when the cover-up is uncovered?
What
is lost?
What are the gain-to-lost ratios?
Apologia:
the logic of openings, the explanations,
reasons-why
is what an apology is, literally.
Justifying
the apocalypse.
How
come it’s common connotation is:
I’m
Sorry. I’m
So Sorry.
I
owe you all an apology, all the time. My courses
are
descriptively apocalyptic, anarchistic,
chaotic
and
the most powerful (literally: potential,
un-
determined
possibilities) around probably in the
country
and I offer you an apology: an
explanation
and
reason why, which is –I just said--what an
apology
originally is, no matter it’s common sense
of
contrition.
But you can see how that connotation evolved
and
took over, seeing as exposing,
revealing cover-up
for full view can be demoralizing & nobody might
want to see what’ covered up It’s probably a
crime
to force it.
Emperors New Clothes and the Elephant in the Room
There are Good & Bad Reasons why these are not
addressed: uncovered, exposed, revealed for
converse action.
Need
we argue?
