North Korea Party Rock Anthem ft. Kim Jong-il.

Celibate hero with prehensile hair. Hates being touched. Knight in sour armor with a self-sacrifice scheme. Measures the marigold because the real joke is about killing the joke by explaining it. In perpetual pursuit for there's always someone better.



"As Hegel was already well aware, there is something violent in the very symbolisation of a thing, which equals its mortification. This violence operates at multiple levels. Language simplifies the designated thing, reducing it to a single feature. It dismembers the thing, destroying its organic unity, treating its parts and properties as autonomous. It inserts the thing into a field of meaning which is ultimately external to it." ~Zizek



"The original is not imitated or reproduced but 'put in motion, de-canonized, questioned in a way which undoes its claim to canonical authority.'
. . . .
All these acts of dismantling and transporting, de Man elaborates, 'kill the original, by discovering that the original was already dead. . . . [T]hey bring to light a dismembrance, a de-canonization which was already there in the original from the beginning . . . .'
. . . .
Trope and meaning cannot coincide or be adequate to each other; and Benjamin demonstrates this 'by displacing them in such a way as to put the original in motion, to de-canonize the original, giving it a movement which is a movement of disintegration, of fragmentation.' The movement of the original is like a permanent exile except there is no homeland . . . ." ~San Juan
