Taking a cue from Selah, who sent me some notes she took recently, I am going to use this space to post notes as well. Because why not?
These from the 18th annual Virginia Woolf conference, held this last weekend at DU:
Queer Fragmented • fragment never finished • Orlando through German Romantic lense • Schlegel: Progressive Universalpoesie • ∞ fragments • alphabet as fragmentary (?) • monosyllables as fragments • fashion—fascia—fasces—fascism—etc. • publication as de-fragging? • human life and the volume (Jabès?)
useful statements • as she speaks of words • Evelyn Haller quoted • class and the question of
one who glosses or smooths over • amoricle • I prefer, where truth is important, to write fiction –Virginia Woolf • facts are a very inferior form of fiction –V. W. • implicit hybridity
apparatus • pure vs. impure biography • where the eye is forced to dive • create unity out of the fragments of a life • biography as curation • landmark vs. mindmark
intuition + form (careful) = androgyny • “Robed Indians Ahorse”
