='lgc'>='lgc'>--> ‘face’ in performance. (="trms"nttrm="already,spread">read ="ppl">="ppl">Haraway, ="ppl">Levinas, ="ppl">Derrida)
face is linked to sensibility and vision in an intimate way. something that resists ="trms">categorization, containment or comprehension, in="trms">finitely foreign. it is not the biological face. it is ='thdf'>the idea of in="trms">finity within oneself. this idea of in="trms">finity which the face encapsulates is for ="ppl">Levinas the key means by which thought is brought into ="trms">relation with what goes beyond its capacity. and this is crucial in art and ="trms">specifically in performance art for encountering something such as face, face of the performer or the face of the work. the face is perceived as something that resists possession or utilization. the face promotes a discourse when it invites me. (ranting against sober means of ="trms">communication). the face to face ="trms">situation founds ="trms">language.
="trms">presence of the face coming from beyond the ="trms">world , but committing me to human fraternity (Gemeinschaft) does not overwhelm me as a numinous essence arousing fear and trembling. to be in ="trms">relationship while absolving oneself from this ="trms">relation is ‘to speak’. the face always speaks directly and absolutely to me.
many late 20th century ="trms">horror films feature a masked villain. the act of masking the face is not only ="trms">="trms"nttrm="metaph,metamorph,metabol,metal">metaphorical, but also has the terrifying effect of dehumanizing the villain. in herbert kelman's work on dehumanization, when the perception of a person “as an individual, independent and distinguishable from others, capable of making choices is denied, they no longer elicit compassion or other moral ="trms">responses. the facelessness of the alien, swarms of ants, or other villains of pop culture.
for face look at facade too.

='lgc'>='lgc'>--> ‘teaching’ that is not ="trms">rhetorics where the revelation of the other can take place (="ppl">Avital, ="ppl">Levinas). teaching is synthesizing for someone else. what kind of ="trms">communication is teaching involved='qstn'>?
the discourse inherent in the ="trms">relation with the other is like or as a sermon.
='lgc'>='lgc'>--> ‘eyes’ threatening or seducing eyes of the performer (="ppl">Rainer)
='lgc'>='lgc'>--> ‘ranting’ of the drunk in the face of the sober. dist="trms"nttrm="disturban">urbance of a continuity with attack with words.
='lgc'>='lgc'>--> ‘saying’, before it conjugates a ="trms">verbal sign, is al="trms"nttrm="already,spread">ready an ethical ="trms">gesture. saying is therefore al="trms"nttrm="already,spread">ready the proximity of one to the other, the commitment of an approach, the one for the other.
one saying enters into the service of the said, that is the thematization of being, purity of its intentions will be inevitably compromised. a saying that must be unsaid. a movement of thought that continues to resist collapsing into a settled expression, freedom from the cage of thematics. this ="trms">mission (="trms">responsibility for the other) can be adequately expressed only through a certain impossible undoing of ="trms">language. ="trms">presenting a philosophical other is only possible when we generate a saying saying saying itself.
my performance talk='lgc'>: to ="trms">situate my subjectivity ="trms">linguistically (in a non="trms">presence and a nonplace). (='qstn'>?) (if the stakes are at ="trms">situating myself, then the ="trms">question is why='qstn'>?)
saying becomes totally exposed in its approach to the other. in limited ="trms">social ="trms">situations it creates risks of embarrassment or rebuttal and perhaps sounding psychotic. something that will strip away all protective layers, whether cultural or ="trms">literal, from the body (of knowl="trms"nttrm="knowledge,Knowledge">edge). it can also be masochistically painful for the subject. the absolute saying is a trauma, with vulnerability and passivity even is a bodily way, where the ethical being is='lgc'>: one penetrated by the other. (saying is ethical while said is juridical.)
='lgc'>='lgc'>--> ‘psychology’ not only what we do but why we do. the ="trms">science that should be studied so much in art, specially in performance art. the how of human behavior, feelings and emotions.
the psychological space, the ="trms">intermediary space of the ethical ="trms">relation, shyness and commitment to the other. “i am in="trms">finitely more ="trms">demanding of myself than of others”. (is this the realm of shyness being before god='qstn'>?)

='lgc'>='lgc'>--> ‘cornered’ someone that is cornered ="trms">ontologically. can not shy out of the corner.
='lgc'>='lgc'>--> ‘="trms">present’ of ="trms">presence signifies nowness. The movement of time makes things ="trms">present by making them now. What is the ="trms">relation of this “making ="trms">present” to the ="trms">world='qstn'>? Is the movement of time ultimately to be traced to that of the ="trms">world='qstn'>? On such a view, we take the successive nows that constitute time’s movement as a function of the ="trms">world. Their o="trms"nttrm="righ,rigo,riga,rigi,trig,rign">rigin is the successive impressions we receive from its objects. We, thus, come to affirm that nowness is the ="trms">world’s ="trms">presence to us in the impressions it leaves. ="ppl">Augustine gives the classic expression of this ="trms">position when he ="trms">writes='lgc'>: “It is in you, O my mind, that I ="trms">measure time. ... What I ="trms">measure is the impress produced in you by the things as they pass and ='lgc'>[the impressions='lgc'>] abiding in you when they have passed."2 The impress is registered as the ="trms">present now. We register the abiding impression left in the mind as the re="trms">membered now. If, however, we break the tie between ="trms">presence and the ="trms">world, we have to say that the impress is the result of our own activity. The impression that results in the now comes, in other words, not from the ="trms">world, but from ourselves. It is a result of our ="trms">affecting ourselves. In ="ppl">Derrida’s words, its o="trms"nttrm="righ,rigo,riga,rigi,trig,rign">rigin is “the auto-="trms">affection” of consciousness.
='lgc'>='lgc'>--> ‘consciousness’ Since it involves the self-awareness that ="trms">demands self-="trms">presence, the ="trms">question of ="trms">language expands once again. In answering it, we must inquire into the ="trms">nature of consciousness.
='lgc'>='lgc'>--> ‘="trms">veil’ un="trms">veiled. a sign of ="trms">difference, a kind of timidity='qstn'>? is shyness same as ="trms">veil='qstn'>? is it a sheer projection='qstn'>? are we (am i) subdued='qstn'>?
