Fletcher\n008\nDiscusses the principles that are presented in this chapter. (i.e. 1 – Incompetence will show in the use of too many words). Bowering sees this book as a good demonstration of what it asks for itself\n017\nAs Pound notes, the principles that are set here are common to all poetry not just Imagist. The principles that Hume, Pound, Fletcher, etc. set are not an invention of imagism\n0027\n“Archaeological dig” of classicism especially for H.D.\n0029\nPoetic images and dream images. Hume and Freud. Pound and H.D.\n0052\nImagist poetry was sculpture just coming over into speech. Sculpture, like dreams cannot be discussed in terms of meaning save as you attend to its physical properties\n0062\nBowering recommends Pratt’s book on the Imagist poem, particularly the section on Pound’s “Station and the Metro”. “The making of that poem is almost a short history on the making of the Imagist movement”\n0071\nImagism, Bowering says, is a funny thing to have happened in the 20th century. Why should it show up in the 20th Century except as a response to the death of Romantic poetry in the hands of Swinbourne and company\n0077\nDiscussion of images in Romantic poetry at its height (Coleridge and Shelley). Images are not fixed. They are always in motion, in flight\n0098\nConstant flux picked up by American Poets. The prime images in Whitman, for example, are images of things in motion\n0105\nThe beginning of the 19th C. perspective akin to 20th C. notion in physics: impossible to distinguish between matter and energy. To carry (or impose) the image of matter that is not in motion is to impose a false image. And yet, the imagist poem suggest that there are absolute unchanging, eternal realities (with Pound it is rhythm)\n0117\nH.D.’s setting of ancient Greece for the modern mind is one of stasis. She uses “timeless” setting\n0124\nWhat do we make of this?\n0128\nFreud (not a political radical, says Bowering) offers a suggestion, a clue as William James did to G. Stein (another conservative) : there is a common bank of images and a common bank of symbols, that we can share\n0145\nThe mind is a flower pot, says Bowering, and the flower is the same as the one that grew in Greece. A yellow orchid in H.D.’s instance\n0149\nH.D.’s novel Palimpsest is discussed as an example of H.D.’s method\n0184\nImagists especially H.D. used experiences over and over again (“spiral”). A sense that she is hovering over the experiences getting different views, similar to the effect of walking by a Cezanne canvas\n0190\nShe is loyal in terms of detail to each of these times, but there is the sense that time hasn’t happened between them. The images know of no boundary called time\n0206\nShared memory (archetypes). For Freud all images are automatically symbols as soon as people become aware of them (this is echoed by Hume)\n0216\nShelley – I, she, he, it, etc. are simply different words denoting the same thing. Yeats as discussed by Unterraker is presented as an example: “No symbol has a meaning”\n0225\nImplication(s) of this discussed. Word-as-sign is the only exception but as soon as associations are made it becomes a symbol\n0232\nImagists provide exactly what the Freudian analysts did. Images are shared images. What H.D. is looking for according to Robert Duncan, is what the words can offer her. Because for H.D. words offer the unknown, they are not tools as for rationalist poets\n0253\n“What the words conceal” is the quality of words that H.D. is looking for in her poems. She is not using words to do this, the words are using her. Bowering likens this to dreams and psychoanalysis\n0274\nPresents Herbert Read’s discussion/demonstration of the difference between a sign and an image and a metaphor and symbol. Discussed in terms of psychoanalysis\n0297\nThe difference between bad imagist poem and good imagist poem. If the poet cannot resist hinting at the “meaning” of an image this is not an imagist poem. This is connected to the example of a patient undergoing psychoanalysis\n0301\nH.D.’s “Oread” closest to the most perfect imagist poem. Ironically, if patient/reader is asked to find out meaning rather than having one imposed upon her by analyst/poet then s/he is likely to come much closer to “intended” or “shared” meaning, says Bowering.

Poems might be made to survive by their singularity\n0175\nBriefly looks at “North Star”\n0188\nThe connection between beauty and (the sustenance of) life. The only worthwhile beauty, for H.D., is assertive of life and survival versus decadence. Discusses in relation to the goddesses that H.D. admires (esp. Artemis who is inviolable as well, Athena, Demeter, Circe)\n0241\nIn “The Walls do not Fall” she becomes ISIS, Classicist aesthetics are concerned with the strength and survival of that which is beautiful; that which is beautiful is seen as that which lasts\n0252\nLooks at poem about Athena “Pallas”, an introductory poem. “They” in the poem refers to men\n0262\nReads out a passage. Athena is simultaneously the goddess; protector; example and at the same time, Greece (Athens) and women\n0296\nDiscusses the end-rhyme in the poem\n0302\n“What are the rhymes making you do?” asks Bowering. “This is the angle to attack the poem on.” Uses of rhyme are subtle. They don’t discard real speech patterns\n0332\nDon’t think that H.D. was just an anti-male amazon\n0347\nAnother aspect of the “War Trilogy” that must be kept in mind. One does not reach ‘The Mystery’ by abstractions but by sharp detail. Mentions “the scribe”. H.D. places herself philosophically against the Aristotelian genus sorting. She wants to portray how things come together, “wildly dissimilar yet actuated by the same fear the hippopotamus and the wild deer hide by the same river…”\n0365\nShe is against associating things in that organization “that places everything in boxes”. George discusses the scientific objectification of the world and its relation to capitalistic exploitation\n0408\nLooks at two more poems that connect to “The Walls do not Fall” whose theme is: What do we do with language?\n0413\nAfter the work of the poet has been done the mysteries remain\n0427\nThe mysteries are not explained away as is so common in the 20th Century where mystery gets changed into a puzzle – something solvable (i.e. poems of Tate, Ransom, etc.)\n[0042]\n“The Moon in your Hands” is discussed\n0460\n“The Good Friend” is discussed. A poem about poetry of the Elizabethans and her own – similarities between Elizabethans and moderns. Introduces “War Trilogy” and “Walls do not Fall”\n0514\nGreece is not the metaphor in “The Walls do not Fall”. All the sources of magic, religion, myth (i.e. Christian, Hebraic, Egyptian, Theban and the secret, hermetic forbidden) are there\n0550\nSense that she takes structures from Christianity and extends them so that they will take all the beginnings of myth and religion. The Holy Ghost becomes dreams. We admit the transubstantiation\n0578\nH.D. makes association between rhymes, images and between gods that nobody ever made before because she makes them purely on the basis of sound. Necromancy\n0597\nH.D. wants to make the “associations of delight” in terms of rhyme. She doesn’t see mystery as a puzzle (i.e. something that is outside of us that we can solve)\n0619\nH.D. doesn’t want any frills or ‘poetic devices’ for the war in terms of the use of the language. She wants to show the continuation of the spirit despite the mechanical horrors of war. This is discussed at some length\n0741\n“Inspiration stalks us through gloom” (stalks us unaware as Coleridge said)\n0750\nQuotes Joseph Riddle. “H.D. is like Helen in that she is captive at her loom within the sacred space of the walls (i.e. in Troy) which both protect her and hold her captive”\n0765\nLecture ends\n0771\nEnd of Side One\nSide Two is blank"],"score":1.6504171},{"id":"5774","cataloger_name":["Kate,Moffatt"],"partnerInstitution":["Simon Fraser University"],"collection_source_collection":["Reading in BC Collection"],"source_collection_label":["Reading in BC Collection"],"collection_contributing_unit":["SFU Library"],"source_collection_uri":[""],"collection_image_url":[""],"collection_source_collection_description":["Reading in BC collection was assembled during the late 1970s and ‘80s.

The priests have always been removed from the source of power (especially cosmic power) unlike the poets. The poets have revelations which the priests have to interpret.

The fusion of Venus and Mary is made here\n0231\nThe figure of Mary, explains Bowering, is not simply the Christian Figure of Mary. It is the figure of Mary as she becomes merged with ISIS, ASARTE, Demeter, etc.\n0236\nAn ambiguous gesture in Section 29 – the appearance of Mary gives us the sense that H.D. is expanding to all the Venus figures\n0247\nThe series of painters’ images of Mary in Section 29 is discussed\n0263\nThe ‘Palimpsest process’ is pointed out (i.e. Mary keeps resurfacing again and again)\n0274\nMary’s son combines Adonis and Dionysius, explains Bowering, during a discussion of the ‘evolution’ of religions.

Her search for beauty and the eternal is what is left instead of the eternal, beautiful, perfect\n0222\nBowering explains the difference between a cynic and a skeptic: a cynic denounces the search for the perfect because it is impossible to reach (this in itself is idealism). A skeptic accepts that we seek the perfect in art because that is the impulse to create all the while realizing that this is impossible. The difference between an artist and a “sensible” person lies in the acceptance or rejection, respectively, of this search\n0245\nThis eternal urge is the urge of dreamers, explains Bowering.

She tried to move beyond that\n0086\nWilliam James did not see abstract, logical entities only moving and becoming. This was why he was interested in the process of mind\n0095\nDiscussion of native Indians in California who perceive the world in motion. Their language does not allow for talking about anything at rest.

Bowering discusses experience and its representation in language. What is the relationship between the primary experience and its representation? This is discussed at some length\n0340\nStein is interested in the conscious mind and its possibilities. Her Poetry works on this as opposed to turn-of-the-century (and later) “mining the unconscious” Stein doesn’t believe in the unconscious\n0354\nStein asks about how we can know the unconscious, consciously\n0363\nIn the late-early period of the early portraits on Tender Buttons Stein no longer thinks that words have to be used to refer to a world. She believes that they can fashion a world or become a world. Words do not have to be signs, images, or symbols\n0424\nRecommends The Third Rose by Malcolm Brinnin (a critical biography of Steins work). “Models’, (Stein reminds us in Brinnin’s book) “were everything until the beginning of the 20th century and now hardly any painter who interests anyone really has any realization that everybody used to have a model.:” This is discussed\n0478\nStein said that it was possible to use language in the way that painters could use color. (But color, plane and proportion in painting are not of themselves highly referential in the same way that language is in the “real” world.) Stein was trying to rescue them from their common dulling associations. She makes an assumption about the effect/experience of language\n(i.e. under the conventions that we have applied to the way we make language work is a primary language, a primary association with words). She believed (quite rightly) that each society’s syntactic habits are enforced in order to enforce political, economic, tribal preferences on the parts of those in power. In our post-Aristotlean world, we, like the Russians and Chinese put subject-over-object in that order. The subject is taken to exist previous to action. The object is only brought into being when that subject acts upon it. The subject object split maintained by language is the root of our exploitive capitalism. Stein is attempting to see the world previous to that overlay (her use of language is remedial)\n0556\nThe art is one’s primary experience while one is viewing it (“reality”). It doesn’t have to refer to some previous model. Bowering says that he will look at cubism later to further illustrate this\n0575\nBowering’s use of the word “order” is to imply a sense of beginning\n0594\nStein is interested mainly in “brain” rather than “mind” unlike H.D. brain can be described in terms of energy (and mind in terms of sets for some reason)\n0623\nMemory in connection to “mind” and “brain” is discussed. Memory, for the purposes of the writer especially (according to Stein) is more fruitful than philosophy or conjecture\n0638\nBowering says that whenever words are put together the product is “real”. It is not possible to not do this. The concept of “real” is discussed at some length\n0724\nA test of Stein’s fiction, says Bowering, would not be whether it is a simulacrum of an experience of the readers’ but whether the reader can remember a character\n0740\nConventional 19th century novels (and paintings) are discussed for their process of cause and effect: set of conditions that becomes the environment; the suggestion is, as it is in naturalism, that environment (as well as heredity) shapes character. Environment and character come together and make the event believable. Stein doesn’t bother with this because people do not look back on their lives that way, says Bowering. She takes major characteristics of a character and shows them appearing again and again through a series of actions. She calls this the continuous present\n0800\nLecture ends\nEnd of side Two"],"score":1.6504171},{"id":"5779","cataloger_name":["Kate,Moffatt"],"partnerInstitution":["Simon Fraser University"],"collection_source_collection":["Reading in BC Collection"],"source_collection_label":["Reading in BC Collection"],"collection_contributing_unit":["SFU Library"],"source_collection_uri":[""],"collection_image_url":[""],"collection_source_collection_description":["Reading in BC collection was assembled during the late 1970s and ‘80s.

Things cannot be seen as different unless they are first seen as similar otherwise there would be no such\nconcept as different.” Bowering waxes metaphysical. Composition and difference are discussed at some length\n0170\nCubism does not want to arrest some object in a moment of time, it wants to get multiple views of the same thing into one space that resists the movement of time. Bowering says he will discuss this further later on in the lecture\n0178\nComposition is involved in the consciousness of seeing (the similar in the different); placing yourself physically in the scene\n0181\nStein on the avant-garde: “No one is ahead of his time. It is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.” She once stated that she created the 20th Century when she wrote The Making of Americans. (Created 20th Century America)\n0190\nAgainst description. (Places the writing in past). H.G. Wells is given as an example\n0222\nMcLuhan and rear-view mirror thinking is discussed briefly. “Artists are not ahead of their time,” said McLuhan, “everyone else is behind the time.”\n0231\nStein wants to create one’s time, says Bowering. This is the only thing one can do if one is not satisfied trying to describe (or translate) one’s time. This places one in the past and Stein is not interested in this\n0240\n“Those who are creating the modern composition authentically are naturally only of importance when they are dead because by that time the modern composition having become past is classified,” said Stein, “and the description of it is classical. This is the reason why the creator of the new composition in the arts is an outlaw until he is a classic. There is hardly a moment in between and it really is too bad, very much too bad, naturally for the creator but also very much too bad for the enjoyer. They all would really enjoy the created soon after it is made than when it is already a classic”\n0250\nThe irritation (shock) of the new (in literature or visual art) is discussed\n0270\nWhat is the source of this irritation? Stein locates it at the reader’s (or audience’s) experience of the work (rather than the work itself). Bowering gives a rather unconvincing David Hume-like analogy\n0279\nWhat is the source of this irritation? Stein locates it at the reader’s (or audience’s) experience of the work (rather than the work itself). Bowering gives a rather unconvincing David Hume-like analogy\n0300\nThe Stein sense of beautiful versus H.D.’s sense of the beautiful which is the eternal and perfect\n0320\nRepetition, beginnings and the ‘natural thing’ are discussed\n0344\nStein does not want to describe but to find the main characteristic. To solve problems she looked at what was not done, Bowering explains\n0380\nThe effect Stein wants to achieve is similar to the effect the cubists wanted to achieve. She wants to get multiple views of the same thing happening in the same time, explains Bowering. Repetition is discussed again as is the parallel in writing with a painting’s effects showing no recognizable object (no nouns)\n0401\nStein’s repetition of main characteristics in different circumstances is discussed as being the way she paints a picture of a person’s life. This perspective is discussed in relation to a historical perspective. Her point was to make people look at and hear her writing in the same way that the cubists wanted people to look at painting. A great deal of art is self-referring in the 20th century, says Bowering. Visual examples are shown\n0450\nWhile showing slides, Bowering discusses perspective, composition referentiality and abstractions\n0596\nDescription is criticized again and discussed in relation to the paintings on the slides.

Pg. 24, “A Question on Time.”\n0042\n“(t)he time in that composition is the natural phenomena of that composition and of that perhaps everyone can be certain” – Stein. This quotation is discussed in relation to time in paintings\n0072\n“Each period of living differs from any other period not in the way life is but in the way life is conducted and that, authentically speaking, is composition.” (Stein is trying to show what it is to live in her time. Composition is discussed in relation to consciousness and against certain kinds of realism\n0112\nStein is not interested in cause and effect or in questions of why people do things but how they do it; this places her as scientist as opposed to a religious or philosophical investigator, Bowering explains\n0119\n“Everything is the same except composition and as the composition is different and always going to be different, everything is not the same”. (p. 28 “composition as explanation”). Bowering discusses this quotation\n0142\nBowering discusses above quotation in relation to H.D. who believed that anyone’s mind could tap the arche-types and dissolve the self. Stein is more interested in how one acts, explains Bowering\n0156\nBowering discusses Melanctha. Though it seems a conventional story for Stein, it is still an odd way of writing for that period (because it is not like descriptive literature), says Bowering\n0182\nStein’s parallel between writing and war. The exigencies that demand modernism : if the war demands modern techniques, those modern techniques will be there sooner than for other things\n0199\nBowering discusses “the time of the composition is a natural thing…”\n0230\nStein tries to make time inconsequential, says Bowering, and the only time that is operative at all is the actual reading time of the piece\n0242\nBowering discusses the cubist’s who did away with conventional use of time and space. They too, like Stein and linguists who study natural language, are looking for an “order’ that exists before the conventionalized, interpretive mind gets a hold of the world and conceals it. This is discussed at quite some length\n0617\nUp until the 20th Century, there are no spaces between things (all space on canvas is filled). In 20th Century art, music and writing, there are spaces between things (different ordering). This is the difference in the modern perspective\n0663\nStein makes a distinction between insistence and repetition. She, as well as Williams, says that Stein doesn’t use repetition. How she writes the portraits is related (by Stein) to how one sees the world around. “Is there repetition or is there insistence? I am included to believe there is no such thing as repetition”. – Stein. This is discussed in relation to “same’ and “different “which is explained in metaphysical terms\n0737\nEnd of lecture\nEnd of Side one\nSide two blank"],"Note":["[]"],"Related_works":["[]"],"_version_":1853670553965035522,"timestamp":"2026-01-07T14:59:58.384Z","score":1.6504171},{"id":"5781","cataloger_name":["Kate,Moffatt"],"partnerInstitution":["Simon Fraser University"],"collection_source_collection":["Reading in BC Collection"],"source_collection_label":["Reading in BC Collection"],"collection_contributing_unit":["SFU Library"],"source_collection_uri":[""],"collection_image_url":[""],"collection_source_collection_description":["Reading in BC collection was assembled during the late 1970s and ‘80s.

Bowering discusses Williams’ urban home town – dirty, filthy, the population a result of the great immigrations into the United States in the early part of the 20th Century to feed the mills\n0027\nBowering notes that Williams chose Patterson as the setting for Paterson, rather than nearby Rutherford, as “He had to write a poem about everything and set it in its specific place”. The image that Paterson contains is the very central image of the waterfalls\n0032\nLike In the American Grain, Paterson is a book, a poem, about making poetry. Bowering goes on to discuss Paterson as a veritable mine of information on what Williams and other contemporaries thought and felt about poetics\n0071\n…on some pronouncements about poetry by William Carlos Williams: -- ‘Order’ for example\n0097\nDiscusses Yeats’ views of poetics in reference to a Comparison with Williams’ ideas on ‘order’\n0116\nYeats’ idea was to write a poem that lasts forever, containing images which defy death\n0138\nWilliams on ‘Masterpieces’ – beauty is found in the fresh, the unexplored. Masterpieces are only beautiful in the tragic sense, like a starfish stretched out dead on the beach in the sun\n0151\nBeauty – Uncertainty, hence Williams’ interest in ‘accident’, an important principle in Paterson\n0207\n“The impulse to order, then, involves measure, in all its meanings. The first thing one does when one finds oneself lost is try to start measuring, and the only access one has, in order to start measuring, is one’s own lineaments.” Bowering goes on to discuss various aspects of the idea of ‘measurement’\n0303\nA swift jump into ‘perspective’, another multi-meaning word. ‘Perspective’ suggests that the viewer is at the center, and “everything else is on the outside, and the farther away that something is from that ego, then the less important it is.”\n0337\nBowering discusses the desire of the imagists and the cubists to get rid of, or distort ‘perspective’, either by deliberate placement of an image, or by ‘dis-covering’ it. One can “see the world without dominating it”, as Williams says\n0376\nW.C. Williams says: “It is not what you say that matters, but the manner in which you say it”\n0406\nWilliams on ‘Ex-pression’\n0483\nBowering discusses Williams’ The Wedge, as a book written contemporaneously with Paterson\n0533\nWilliams – “One doesn’t seek beauty, it finds you.”\n0574\nFrom Williams “Revelation”: “The objective in writing is to reveal; it is not to teach, not to advertise, not to sell, not even to communicate (for that needs two), but to “reveal”. Bowering goes on to discuss Williams’ fascination for speech undistorted, by speech that reveals through its particular genre: “As a carrot grows up through the ground will have in its shape the particulars of that ground.” In other words, the place in which a person grows up will have to constitute how that person comes to the world, and has to be ‘dis’covered’ in the work itself\n0620\nBowering closes by looking at a late work of Williams, namely The Poem as a Field of Action (1948), which came out at the same time as Book II of Paterson\n0687\nEnd of Lecture a\n0699\nEnd of Side One\nTwo\nBlank\n\n*This appears to be a second version of Accession Number #674\n\nSide\nTrack\nNo.\nComments\nOne\n0000\n0004\nLecture begins with Bowering explaining various significances of Paterson (i.e. the city in New Jersey)\n0033\nPaterson, like many of Williams’ poems, is about making poems; this is discussed\n0053\nBowering recommends In the American Grain as being one of the most useful and accessible books to an understanding of the local (language and place) and the difference between marrying the language and raping it (with reference to Williams’ writing)\n0071\nBowering gives some of Williams’ pronouncements about poetry (esp. on order). “Time is a storm in which we are all lost only inside the convolutions of the storm itself shall we find our directions”\n0087\nYeats (and Pound) in relation to Williams’ work\n0097\nA discussion of artifacts (emblems of perfection and eternity) with reference to Yeats\n0134\nWhy Williams is opposed to masterpieces – they are “like starfish lying stretched dead on the beach in the sun”.

This discussion leads into the topic of the range of beauty in nature (ugly to beautiful) and of how that range should be reflected in the language and imagery of poetry.

He rejects the contemporary notion that it was done as a form of social control on the part of the priests\n\t\t100\tRituals serving as an enactment of metaphysical concepts.  For example, The Book of the Dead: its use of Time & Space\n\t\t120\tBlaser’s main point being that of duel nature of God/Godhead.

Discussion follows dealing with the innate significance of the passage\n\t\t287\t“The Ancients thought of death as the essential prelude to life.”  A polarity existing in all of nature.  Further definition, especially of the concept of the “underworld” is given\n\t\t345\tGeneology of Osiris & his fellow gods, also the concept of his Kingship is explained\n\t\t400\tPrimeval time to be considered as the time before duality\n\t\t412\tLecture broken off in mid-sentence as tape ends\nTwo\t\t000\t\n\t\t001\tBlaser’s voice in mid-sentence.  He is explaining, more so outlining, the concept of the original duality of male & female.  It is a complimentary notion, that is, unfortunately altered with the birth of Set.  Set represents elements of confusion/chaos\n\t\t027\tBlaser notes the lack of love between Set and his mother.  He comments, in words to the effect of, that this is a strange twist on a rather common theme, that of Mother fixation in no way does this even begin to imply that Set is in any way a child god\n\t\t047\tSet as existing “outside” the community of the gods\n\t\t072\tThe birth of Horus, the undefinable conflict that arises between Horus and Set [in the tangible forms of a homosexual element that seems to be mostly implied in The Book of the Dead and a physical fight that is much more than merely implied]\n\t\t104\tThe importance of the eyes of a being.  Special reference is given to what the eyes reveal after one engages in considerable sexual activity.  Even the gods of The Book of the Dead, according to Blaser feel this is important\n\t\t115\tThe poison semen that Horus receives; the warning given Horus\n\t\t137\tThe sexual element between Horus and Set, noted also is the role Isis plays.  As the conflict intensifies, the seed of Horus is spread on the vegetables growing in Set’s garden\n\t\t167\tThe pregnancy of Set; the battle for the disc; the notion that the eye of Horus comes from the forehead of Set; the birth of Wroth\n\t\t177\tOrigin of the creation of the moon [i.e. the eye of Horus] myth.  Explanation on the religious symbol that the moon becomes.  Blaser goes on to define a ‘symbol’ as a sign that conveys an image, that in our reality gives expression to a reality of a different order\n\t\t237\tThe ‘sound eye’ the eye that has been healed.  Blaser utilizes mathematical concepts to further develop his position.  The ‘sound eye’ serves as a notion of soundness and reality, via integrated contrasts.  The newborn and Wroth has constructed the ‘eye’ in such a way that it presents a ‘new image of reality’ (being and non-being)\n\t\t292\tBlaser comments on what he feels is the greatest wonder of Egypian mythology, the notion of the journey to the underworld as an experience of complete totality\n\t\t314\tEgyptian concept of the essential duality that always exists, a series of contrasts and comparisons.

He then goes on to speculate on the alterations in the relationships between the Egyptian gods.  Further speculation is given to the results of Set; homosexual tendencies\n\t\t037\tNotion of duality.  Blaser draws interesting assumption as he displays that Oasis is death from which life arises and Set is life from which death arises.  As the relationship between the two gods deteriorate, Death becomes a visible, semi-separate entity unto itself\n\t\t055\tThe shift in emphasis on the worship of Set by the Egyptians\n\t\t074\tBlaser describes the ideas, mainly the “layers of the world” concept, that he wants the students to keep in mind as they read and re-read the text(s)\n\t\t160\tDiscussion turns to the “central issues”, relating from two particular texts, they being Causal Mythology and Poetry and Truth.  Some of these “issues” include the notions of narrative and vocabulary\n\t\t203\tBeginning of a discussion on the narrative as having two particular facets, that of speech and that of speaking.  Blaser goes on to say “…narrative is made up of events, not facts.”  He stresses the ability of the narrative to pull the reader into the work\n\t\t225\tInvestigation into what Blaser calls “the means whereby we wish to speak of the active mode…”  Topics such as sense, nonsense and a “pure” language are to be raised\n\t\t250\tReiteration of the active role the reader must play in the events of the narrative\n\t\t277\t“Presence” in the work of Jack Spicer, who most of the preceding discussion dealt with.  Also, introduction of Surrealistic concepts into the discourse, specifically “the violent displacement of language that is then intended to control the marvelous”\n\t\t292\tSuggestion to read specific letters of Arthur Rimbaud.  The letters announce the psychological notion of “otherness”\n\t\t325\tBlaser lays great emphasis, perhaps even the major emphasis of the entire course, on the “constant operation of the language”.  Elaboration follows\n\t\t367\tFoucault, French poet, and his analysis of the evolution of the modern mind is stressed.  It too utilized the concept of “otherness’ in a slightly economic sense\n\t\t420\tTape ends, cutting Blaser off in a discussion of scientific principles\nTwo\t\t000\t\n\t\t001\tTape cuts in on some humorous interplay between Blaser and his students\n\t\t003\tDiscussion moves back to the multi-textured issue of language.  Language, it is stressed, by its very nature involves a sense of “otherness”.  “I’m not paying any attention, at this point, to God and all that stuff” says Blaser; he is dealing with direct experience\n\t\t010\tThe consciousness of modern language and its restructuring.  Blaser reads from an essay by Zollah, the title of the essay is unintelligible – that stresses social oneness.  Linguistic origins and the developments of Indo-European tongue are brought to the discussion, especially the connection between myth, symbols and the resulting language in the construction of the self\n\t\t075\tQuestion of a point of detail from a member of the seminar.  Blaser responds by reading from the text and repeating some of what he said previously.  He uses the question as the link to “the consistent movement inside language”\n\t\t095\tBlaser turns to a book by Western Labarr called Ghostdance for which he expresses particular disdain for its overly simplistic and naturalistic approach to the subject of religion\n\t\t148\tQuestion from a seminar member concerning Spicer.  Blaser feels the student has misunderstood his position and goes to re-explain that “the consistent efforts of all these texts is to speak to its own historical past”, adding further examples to strengthen his position.  The student seems satisfied with the response, as do others in the seminar\n\t\t278\tTurn to Causual Mythology as reading for next seminar is assigned\n\t\t282\tClass breaks up with Blaser commenting on how much he appreciates question and dissent in his classes\n\t\t287\tSound ends\n\t\t410\tSide two over"],"Note":["[{\"note\":\"Prof. Blaser’s “Sacred Geography” series breaks down into two organizational components, that of semi-formal lectures and that of seminars.

Pure language being that which involves “us” in polarities and opposites\n\t\t047\tBlaser draws a link from confusion to sexuality to language, making reference to past lectures and the Osiris myth of Kingship\n\t\t054\tDiscussion on the mythological language of “Theogony”, a poem, mentions Blaser, that “is extremely difficult to interpret”, yet this is, in many ways, why he chose to include it in the seminar, especially for its broken narrative\n\t\t063\tThe direct engagement of the poet in his historical condition, “there are not many poets who are engaged in this way”\n\t\t071\tBlaser’s question “Why does theology appear repeatedly?”  Ensuing discussion with emphasis on Spicer and Olson\n\t\t099\tWide tradition of “Theogony”, its language is to be found all around the world – it’s the primary/the pure language\n\t\t135\tThe primary place of “Theogony” in Babylonian New Year worship of Marduk.  Blaser stresses the powerful interaction the piece played in society\n\t\t171\tAfter reading from Genesis, Blaser develops a pattern of “cosmogony and cosmology followed by the genealogy of heroes and priests”.  The Persian story of Ohrmzd and his opposite Ahraman is cited as example of a narration that speaks of polarity.  Blaser notes the “listing” pattern (names, titles, deeds, etc.) in mythology drawing an appropriate contrast between the 50 names of Marduk and the equally numerous names of the Norse God, Odin\n\t\t243\tViolva’s Prophecy is noted as the voice of past, present and future.  Yet another creation myth confirming the listing pattern.  The original tie between the magic and the poetic, before the written word, which implies the theory of the language, the nature of the word.  The magical aspect manifests itself in the power it gives; power over the order or to reveal the order\n\t\t319\tThe need to gather a better understanding of the narrative, utilizing unseen diagrams which draw heavily from West’s introduction to “Theogony” and Normana/Brown.  In the case of “Theogony” this is best displayed in the invocations\n\t\t374\tBlaser draws a parallel between the generational narrative of the Old Testament and other such ancient relevant texts as an example\n\t\t416\tUtilizing the many myths of Zeus and his children as further example, Blaser seeks to display the exclusive nature in his estimation of the generational narrative. The tape ends sharply, cutting Blaser off\nTwo\t\t000\t\n\t\t001\tBlaser’s voice comes in during mid-sentence stressing the need to move through the process of the “Theogony” to reach the generational climax of Zeus and his supreme intelligence\n\t\t021\tThe succession story of Zeus, the birth of Aphrodite and story of Medusa, etc., all flow through each other.  Almost “mythological digressions” yet completely necessary to the great whole of the story\n\t\t070\tThe structure of the poem is the succession story, which Blaser outlines.  He then explores, by listing, the descriptive catalogues of the poem linking them to an implied movement in the human order\n\t\t141\tThe oriental flavor of the poem is pointed out as is West’s mention of a Phoenician history text compiled/written by San Chuniathon (a Phoenician poet) that was translated into Greek around the 2nd century A.D. and eventually translated into English on the insistence of Charles Olson.   Both examples add further strength to the pure/primary language theory\n\t\t230\tSan Chuniathon’s work as yet further example of the narrative move towards an established order\n\t\t244\tBlaser announces a contemporary reading he would like the class to attend.  The writer in question is [Foelling]* Dawson, reading at the Odd Infanitum Gallery, 3632 W. 4th Avenue on October 16/76.  Blaser goes on to discourse on the importance of the contemporary\n\t\t266\tGenealogy in the structural poem “What should be the critic’s vocabulary?”  The succession myth as the plot that is not truly apparent.  Blaser links the genealogy as the “living movement of that succession (myth)” also taken into account is the cosmology\n\t\t319\tDistinction drawn between visionary and prophet.  Examples and embellishment are provided by Blaser to further his point\n\t\t348\tThe prophet poet as one who “looks into his own time” which involves a use of “pure language”, Spicer and Olson are cited\n\t\t379\tReturn to the genealogy of ”Theogony” as the subject of discussion\n\t\t413\tAs Blaser was reintroducing the use of the listing pattern his voice was cut off\n\t\t413\tSide Two ends"],"score":1.6504171},{"id":"6267","cataloger_name":["Linara,Kolosov"],"partnerInstitution":["Simon Fraser University"],"collection_source_collection":["Reading in BC Collection"],"source_collection_label":["Reading in BC Collection"],"collection_contributing_unit":["SFU Library"],"source_collection_uri":[""],"collection_image_url":[""],"collection_source_collection_description":["Reading in BC collection was assembled during the late 1970s and ‘80s.

References to Olson & nature of the “primary” soon follow\n\t\t018\tThe historical task of the poet, the greater context.  Once this has been understood one can truly appreciate texts that stand outside their mere contemporary context, the “otherness” of a poetic text\n\t\t040\tThe 20th century “consciousness of language”, Blaser agrees that the Romantics started the move towards the notion of language but he thinks it was individuals such as Pound who began to comprehend and appreciate the polar relationships of poetry with a consciousness of the nature of language\n\t\t074\tBy way of an investigation into divine poetic nature, Blaser examines texts that detail the relationship between the Ancient (Homeric?) Greeks and their gods\n\t\t104\tThe balance of heaven and earth (“earth and sky”) and the emerging notion of “the universe”.  “A destiny of the Greeks is neither a justification nor disruption or elimination of the natural course of the world.  It is this natural course of the world itself”\n\t\t130\tTo create an understanding of the foundation of this world view, Blaser explains that to the Homeric Greeks the world was not an observable, examinable place but a “realm” of “the ever unobjective to which we are subordinate as long as the paths of birth and death, of blessing and curse, hold us thrust into being where the essential lessons of our history befall us and which are taken over and abandoned, misunderstood and again sought by us.  Their world’s the world.  Prof. Blaser is drawing most of his material from Victor Vycinas’ The Earth and Gods : an introduction to the Philosophy of Martin Heidegger\n\t\t142\tArt as the stabilizer of the lucidity of the world\n\t\t\tProf. Blaser, as he does on other tapes in the series, argues that, as part of human being’s nature, Truth is to be found only in “unreason”.  Truth as emerging from the primeval strife to “that which is”.  The strife between the world and the earth can “only become Truth when it takes a stand within the realm of openness obtained by it.  “….such a “stand” can only be actualized as an Artwork”\n\t\t220\tHermes, who “what he is, as an example of a deity.  The various roles and responsibilities of the god are listed and detailed; an attempt is made by Blaser to limit the god’s many titles into a conceptual whole\n\t\t269\tThe discussion on the many traits of Hermes continues\n\t\t276\tBlaser turns onto Zeus “The worldness of a world is Zeus”.  Zeus as a god of light, which innately infers that Zeus is a god of revealing, “of disclosing… by reflecting the truth of the god, these forms are true.  They are the logos of this god.  Zeus, then, is the logos par excellence\n\t\t289\tThe nature of Truth.  “Truth as Reason, becomes in the poetic argument simply our Reason.  And this confronts what Olson calls the “demonic nature of experience”.  The link is made easily between this notion and the notion of the polarity, the “tension” of experience in mythology.  Reference is made to Charles Olson’s Poetry and Truth (The Beloit Lectures and Poems).  In the existence that lies behind poetry, more than the language we speak\n\t\t311\tReturn of topic to the “tension of existence”.  Blaser notes the interdependence to the “other”.  Olson’s so-called attack on Einstein in Poetry and Truth is brought up to display the content of the concept; Einstein’s relativity is viewed as another one of the modes of reason.  Olson harkens to the dynamically-relational.  A Maurice Merleon-Ponty essay to be found in Sense-non-Sense, is cited by Blaser as summing up the issue at immediate hand here\n\t\t333\tThe disclosure of the world the way it appears to the I.  Again Olson’s Poetry and Truth is mentioned.  One point of particular noteworthiness is that the “I” is to be found “among” not isolated in any manner.  Notion of disclosure and concealment; the “active” agent of the unknown\n\t\t348\tSpeech as a stance of language, revealing the relationship(s) between intellect and objects.  Language and freedom.  Freedom as possessing the individual (not vice versa), Spicer and Olson cited.  Human referring as a result of the outward mode, Logos, in this primary sense, “is our assembling of otherness to ourselves”\n\t\t368\tClassroom confusion results in Blaser repeating his previous statements to clarify their meaning\n\t\t384\tMartin Heidegger is cited once again, a quotation “Our thinking is giving thanks”.  Further quotations are given and explored, all searching for the language behind language\n\t\t398\tOlson’s notion that “so say” (speech) is “to bring into appearance”.  Such a notion should not be confused with the “creation” of appearance; words do not follow things”.  Olson calls this “Mythologos”, words bringing things from their position of concealment\n\t\t407\tSide One ends\nTwo\t\t000\t\n\t\t003\tBlaser’s voice emerges in mid-sentence, discussing such topics as “truth” and “freedom”.  The movement toward “the future” and its being is discussed.  Vyainds’ is quoted and references to Olson and Spicer are made\n\t\t029\tThe future “as “improvised… in Utopias”; with the absence of a tradition, human beings “therefore… constantly break the ties of tradition by revolts”.  While the concept seemingly contradicts itself, Blaser proves the opposite to in fact be the case\n\t\t052\tContemporary human beings standing between philosophy and the upcoming of a greater thought, the thought of being itself”.  Blaser, utilizing Heidegger directly, states that thinking of the future assembles the language/being of the future thinking as no longer philosophy but now mythology\n\t\t106\tOperative and Representational language: Representational language represent the “red” of the world.  Operative language presents – discloses – what was previously covered.  The language is interactive when its operative sense\n\t\t132\tStructural elements of the world: Earth, Sky, Mortals and Gods.  Together they make up the “action of the world… its light”.  Concealment and Revealment are explored once again; Earth as having a “tendency to concealment, the World to revealment.  Art, the Truth, emerges from the strife between the Earth and the World\n\t\t160\tChaos as “the holiness itself: (L. Heidegger), it stands as the ultimate course of all.  The Realm of Destiny, binding everything.  Blaser embellishes this fully, conjuring up Heroditas, Spicer and Olson\n\t\t198\tThe song of the poet being the place where ghouls, human beings and holiness can all appear.  “All true poetry has its beginning in an encounter with the divine”\n\t\t215\tDiscussion moves onto earth-centered religions; the cathonoing society in which the dead are real and powerful in that they go to the earth.  Blaser notes that Spiker refused to separate the dead and the living, and in fact gave the dead a prominence over the living\n\t\t229\tOlympian religion gains prominence over the Cathonain religion, death is shunned.  Numerous references made to Homer’s place in this\n\t\t247\tThe reversal of Logos, the reversal of light.  Characteristics of Olympian and Cathonain religion are explored in contrast\n\t\t280\tEarth, Sky, Gods, Mortal men – “all of them are in strife, as parts of the world”.  Art as a creating a world, creating a hold on the “earth in the world”.  The guarding of the earth and the world in their strife is a fundamental feature of Art work.  Letting the Truth take place in the struggle between the worldness of the world and earth\n\t\t311\tBlaser draws a transition connecting concepts of the ancient world with the contemporary interest in “open form”.  Charles Olson is cited as using such “open form” as projective and as field; Jack Spicer is also cited for his “serial poems’ a constant opening of time itself\n\t\t322\tBlaser vocalizes his view that he feels the “openform” vs. “closed form” debate is little more than an intellectual “hang-up”\n\t\t330\tThe nature of “open form”; openness as it is “attached to a primary condition” – the narrative as a new stance, a new content.  Blaser quotes\n\t\t340\tClosing remarks.  Blaser answers a class question.

The topic is then further expanded into that of Norse religion and the old Norse world view.  Blaser elaborates and explains the myths with references to Indo-European cultures\n\t\t0038\tBlaser discusses the family of languages.  He refers to Webster’s International Dictionary.  He draws together various pieces of cultural evidence to construct the characteristics of “Indo-European speech and culture”\n\t\t0105\tBlaser looks at “The Volaspa” for its Norse creation story.  Discusses the generative act where we have a mutual attraction and opposition of cold and heat.  The singular origin and identity is not the same as the Platonic one; this is a flow\n\t\t0155\tEverything, in this cosmology, returns to matter.  Matter and spirit are not split as in our tradition.  This difference is discussed\n\t\t185\tBlaser discusses the lack of creator in the Norse mythology.  Creation is assumed to be spontaneous as a product of two opposed forces (heat and cold)\n\t\t214\tBlaser refers to Hinduism: he discusses the shape of the cosmos (shaped around the “eternal conflict which is life”).  The cosmos develops in one of a fragile “order” of time and temporal relations with the “threat of disorder” always looming.  Blaser discusses the structure of the Norse cosmos in some detail\n\t\t250\tThe connection between the world of gods and the world of men, the ash tree, Yggdrasil.  Blaser postulates that the world tree, any mythological world tree is the “latent invisible fire in the living wood which is the perfect symbol of eternal spirit trapped in matter”.
