Holofractal impromptu #11: on fragments of the Finnegans Wake - 2009

1. Improvisation conceived by Eufrasio Prates, with the participation of Alex Sales (music), Stevan Correa (voice), Caio Lins, Carol Rocha and Luara Learth (body expression) based on some fragments and scenes from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, as follows in portuguese: 

2. A queda e ressurreição de Tim Finnegan (p. 3-5) Finnegan, ajudante de pedreiro, tropeça na escada, bêbado de whisky, racha o crânio e morre. Sua queda representa as quedas dos impérios, do gigante Finn MacCool, do anjo Lúcifer, de Humpty Dumpty. No velório, sua mulher prepara comida e serve bebida aos amigos de Tim. O velório (wake) vira uma festa, tocam música, cantam e alguém derruba whisky sobre o cadáver. O poder mágico do whisky (termo q se traduz por "água da vida") revive Tim, que se levanta e entra na festa de sua própria ressurreição. As culpas de HCE e o falatório em Dublin HCE e a Culpa Pública (p. 5-10) Mr. Porter, um homem comum da Dublin do séc. XX, sonha que é HCE, taberneiro respeitável de uma época desconhecida. Já acima dos 50 anos, ele remói uma culpa privada: seu tesão pela jovem filha Issy (Isolda de Tristão, Isis de Osíris, Isabelle Porter) que o lembra da mãe, Anna Lívia Plurabelle (Mrs. Porter) quando jovem. Esse tesão o leva à espiar (peep) 2 damas da noite em Dublin, no Parque Phoenix (mito da Fênix). Elas tentam seduzi-lo. Meio bêbado, ele não sabe se desnudou-se ou não frente a elas, mas sente-se culpado. Talvez tenha até se masturbado. 3 soldados bêbados testemunham a cena, tornando o ato potencialmente público. O boato se espalha (p. 35-47, 196-204, 206-207, 214-216) À meia-noite, tempos depois no mesmo Parque, HCE se encontra com um velho aldeão dublinense fumando cachimbo. Este lhe pergunta as horas e HCE lhe responde com uma complexa argumentação de autodefesa sobre a história das damas da noite (p. 36). O aldeão cisma com a história e comenta com sua esposa o episódio. A beata corre a contar a história ao pároco, que a compartilha com um amigo nas corridas. 3 transeuntes escutam a história e a transformam na Balada de Persse O'Reilly (p. 44), que se espalha pela cidade como um vírus. O boato propalado num jornal de hospital por 3 dias seguidos chega finalmente na boca de duas lavadeiras, à beira do Rio Liffey (p. 196, 202). Elas vão se afastando e se desentendendo até que uma delas vira um olmo e a outra uma pedra (p. 214-16). ALP se banha e se prepara eroticamente para HCE e para o leitor (p. 206-7), evocando o princípio feminino que vai além de todas as coisas vis e mundanas. HCE e a Culpa Privada (p. 561-566) O corcunda (hunchback, Humphrey Chimpden Earwick) não se vê velho e por isso se encanta com a bela versão de ALP em Issy. Em seus sonhos, não pode evitar a associação entre elas. Uma transa entre HCE e ALP é cinematograficamente narrada sob 4 perspectivas, a primeira na p. 559. Amada pelo pai e pelo irmão Shaun-Shem (reunidos), cercada de "gemidos libidinais que incendeiam as trevas", Issy permanece só (p. 561-2). A guerra fratricida (p. 184-186, 189-193, 276-279, 306-308) Os filhos de HCE e ALP encarnam os princípios que se opõem: Shem, o escriba-poeta, e Shaun, o carteiro-político. Shem aparece na p. 184 "escrevendo o mimstério de sivendo" (writing the mystery of himsel), isto é, o mistério auto-mimético de se ver escrevendo o Finnegans Wake, representando o próprio Joyce. O símbolo de Shem é o do alquimista, do artista que plasma e tem por organizar os dejetos que se amontoam nas vidas privadas. É o ser da sombra, ébrio, fora da lei, um vexame, hipnocondríaco, um enigma do universo. Na p. 189-193, é descrito o primogênito Shaun, o sensato, administrador funcionário, fiel e sábio mensageiro da luz, acusado pelo irmão de farejador de carniça, interesseiro, malignata na luxúria. Sua reconciliação só se pode dar no peito do pai (que cai e renasce), com a ajuda da mãe, que é o rio da vida (riverrun, past Eve and Adam's ...). O texto completo, comentado, pode ser lido online em

2. "Joyce could see no advantage in our remaining locked up in each cultural cycle as in a trance or dream. He discovered the means of living simultaneously in all cultural modes while quite conscious. The means he cites for such self-awareness and correction of cultural bias is his "collideorscope". This term indicates the interplay in colloidal mixture of all components of human technology as they extend our senses and shift their ratios in the social kaleidoscope of cultural clash: "deor", savage, the oral or sacral; "scope" the visual or profane and civilized." - Marshall McLuhan

They get good reviews, but they don't sell terribly many copies," he told me. Ironically, A New Kind of Science is not just a scientific excursion but also a literary excursion. Like James Joyce, Wolfram believes his ideal reader is one who will devote a lifetime to reading his book, and like Joyce the novelist, Stephen Wolfram (a novelist's son) has produced an encyclopedic world." - https://www.wired.com/2002/06/wolfram/

3. CAMPBELL: One thing that comes out in myths, for example, is that at the bottom of the abyss comes the voice of salvation. The black moment is the moment when the real message of transformation is going to come. At the darkest moment comes the light.     MOYERS: Like Roethke's poem, "In a Dark Time, the Eye Begins to See." You're saying that myths have brought this consciousness to you.  CAMPBELL: I live with these myths, and they tell me this all the time. This is the problem that can be metaphorically understood as identifying with the Christ in you. The Christ in you doesn't die. The Christ in you survives death and resurrects. Or you can identify that with Shiva. I am Shiva -- this is the great meditation of the yogis in the Himalayas.   MOYERS: And heaven, that desired goal of most people, is within us.    CAMPBELL: Heaven and hell are within us, and all the gods are within us. This is the great realization of the Upanishads of India in the ninth century B.C. All the gods, all the heavens, all the worlds, are within us. They are magnified dreams, and dreams are manifestations in image form of the energies of the body in conflict with each other. That is what myth is. Myth is a manifestation in symbolic images, in metaphorical images, of the energies of the organs of the body in conflict with each other. This organ wants this, that organ wants that. The brain is one of the organs.

4. http://gnosis.org/library/revstev.htm - I view this as a metaphor of leveling mountains of leveling mythology systems - like Joyce is doing in all his works. I recommend reading his page.

5. A lot of the point I see Joyce making is just how difficult the stories are to follow and understand in Torah, Bible, Quran, etc. And we have a blind faith that doesn't translate across time to inward understanding.

5. you have to do sometthing to your ears... Campbell, age 81: MOYERS: But is art the only way one can achieve this illumination?   CAMPBELL: Art and religion are the two recommended ways. I don't think you get it through sheer academic philosophy, which gets all tangled up in concepts. But just living with one's heart open to others in compassion is a way wide open to all.  MOYERS: So the experience of illumination is available to anyone, not just saints or artists. But if it is potentially in every one of us, deep in that unlocked memory box, how do you unlock it?  CAMPBELL: You unlock it by getting somebody to help you unlock it. Do you have a dear friend or good teacher? It may come from an actual human being, or from an experience like an automobile accident, or from an illuminating book. In my own life, mostly it comes from books, though I have had a long series of magnificent teachers.
