where we got to

Non-identity as understood between these lines is everything that is conceived as Identity, in this instance the piece as pieces in-themselves and what this piece as pieces is not. Non-identity exists because it is already identity; it is the invisible and negative form of identity, which is brought to life through the recurring creative processes of expression and reception. This dialectical body is in form acted out and performed

i was trying to read chapter 2 at the back of a rep talk, he was trying to sell us drugs, i was trying to read.
this is what i remember:
since death of god, aesthetic became ethical. unlike the education needed to take part in aesthetics, no one is outside of ethics, which brings to the fore the substance in self-design. self design is not just spectatorship controlled by consumer markets, but can be a move towards the nature of things, the 'real', 'truth'.
every spectator becomes an actor. aesthetics becomes poetics.

Distractions from Phillips and Taylor


The most striking distinction between the erotic life of antiquity and our own no doubt lies in the fact that the ancients laid the stress on the instinct itself, whereas we emphasize its object. The ancients glorified the instinct and were prepared in its account to honour even an inferior object; while we despise the instinctual activity itself, and find excuses for it only in the merits of the object. The only way modern people can justify their desire is to privilege the object.
