Monica Geller Is A Scorpio




In The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera speaks of kitsch as "the absolute denial of shit, both literally and figuratively, kitsch excludes everything from vision that human existence has inherently unacceptable. "
Kitsch thus serves to obscure what we would prefer not to see, to produce an acceptable form unconditionally, absolutely consensual.

This means adding absolute perfection, Milan Kundera described as historically and up to the basis of certain myths:
"Behind all the European beliefs, whether religious or political there is the first chapter of Genesis, from which it follows that the world was created as it was he was, that being is good and that it is a good thing to procreate. Call this fundamental belief the categorical agreement with being. It follows that the categorical agreement with being a aesthetic ideal for a world where shit is denied and everyone acts as if it did not exist. This aesthetic ideal is called kitsch.
In art, it is probably born of the encounter between between the desire to own art at home and the ability to reproduce Low prices. Well now, it is nevertheless neither a genre nor a tendency asserted art ... marked up by some artists pop art. Everything seems to have changed since that art no longer dictates its laws to the consumer society on the contrary, it inspired her, color and hype of advertising. The visual codes of kitsch learn their letters of nobility when a can of soup or a banana yellow fluorescent earn their ticket to the museum.
Today, many artists are inspired by this development will see the bright purple poodle Jeff Koons, or, better yet, pictures of the duo Pierre & Gilles. Costumes, Glitter, starry background, plastic flowers, everything is there.
For Milan Kundera, the communist regime (where the novel takes place and that the author has known) belongs to this ideal as much as he can, he uses this aesthetic utopia to believe in its perfection, its viabililté. Without doubt this is so politically Kundera sees kitsch as "the station correspondence between being and oblivion."

"It's a character. An individual, male, who walks, moves, stops, makes love, drinks, takes drugs, continues to advance.

is a character that is organized in time in a timeline and locations that we pretend to be a spacetime, that is, if one is a little bit careful, that new fiction, traces the character, even well organized, amazingly wise compared to the actions of the individual, do not tell us, in fact, no credible or certain. But it is true that the only traces of these movements is photography. To be considered, So, with the greatest caution. To put both in doubt and concerned. "

Outside, a little chilly wind swept the clear night full of stars. It's refreshing ideas.
Josy on my right, all gironde skunks in his coat. Lola possum on my left, should give me like a john loan treat. One time, I stayed behind to light a pipe. It was magical, these two brothers, their long sleeved guambilles fifteen deniers, playing the moonlight. No need for imagination to put in train. The centrifugal pétoulet brought you own temperature! In
Street Vanves, nobody on the train was traveling. We had to walk up the Avenue du Maine to find a decent chest, pulling black, brand new. The driver, with his face thug for nice little shopping, did not Gouré on noszigues. As Josy gave him the address of "Mystific" the jail where they defended both, he said himself:
- Entry artists!
For the warmth of the thighs, the modeling of the hip, inspiring fragrances during the course, I found myself spoiled between these two kids. Alas! yet lent itself to some confession of my emotions to shepherds, and they had an idea in the core: join Mystific where Riton might have left a commission. "
