The Book of Ours
This culture of subcultures is the story of our own telling, and how we relate to each other. It’s also an everyday resolution to an enduring paradox: maintaining our individual identities in a society of shared signs and objects, settlements and values. So private lives are lived in public, the product and the process of endless exchange on an industrial scale. Using personal experiences of enculturation, these forms of order, these orders of fo…
Dead Men Walking
At that moment something Heaved out of the land and was there. Empty, horrible, archaic–America. Planetary–before the eye touched it. A land with maybe one idea–snake. (Hughes 1999: p. 84) This did not begin, although it might, with that “fateful, blissful cord ” of which so many wanted a snippet and Manet was awarded the whole. Instead, the thread of Baudelaire’s ‘Rope ’ (1989, pp. 133–137) is frayed like his flâneur, first on the loose, then un…

Marinetti, markets and making our futures ourselves
Following, and frustrating, the formative works of F. T. Marinetti, founder and fomenter of Futurism, contemporary consumers are far from overwhelmed by developments in technology and the turmoil of rapidly changing social structures, having come instead to understand, and to enjoy, such ‘future shocks’ as means of ordering and reordering their day‐to‐day lives in both shared and individual terms. Using widely recognisable yet culturally specific…
The mouth trap
Through a dialogue between various authors and an assumed yet uncertain readership, the compiler addresses issues of authorship and creativity in the stage-management of everyday life, as well as notions of fluency and humour across a range of languages. Doubling plays are also used extensively within the text, showing ambiguity to be equally a source of concern and delight wherever actors and audiences negotiate the scripting and performance of …
