[...]uce a lss="trms">different but not necessarily better speculative difficulty in discussing about the virtual. A curse<lgc clss='lgc'>[lgc>9<lgc clss='lgc'>]lgc> (lss="trms">according to lss="nms">Iranian-Islamic mixture of traditions in the milieus of promising and swearing,) is basically a lss="trms">networking function with both mechanical and lss="trms">interventionist properties that lss="trms">translate desire into performance—an lss="trms">intersubjective textual momentum that run virtually into the real lss="trms">world and it may (or may not) run down its target. Much like lss="trms">rumor, curse is contagious and reproductive but unlike the publicity of lss="trms">rumorous velocities, curse insists on secrecy at the same time harvesting its powers for revealing. The reality of the ‘curse’ is ‘assumed’ mostly and that is the virtual lss="trms">nature of this lss="trms">relation (with the lss="trms">materialities of the lss="trms">world that curse inscribes on) that I am lss="trms">interested in.


Curse lss="trms">systematically works with names, to be more accurate, with lss='thdf'>the notion of the “proper name”<lgc clss='lgc'>[lgc>10<lgc clss='lgc'>]lgc> invested in lss='thdf'>the idea of an automatic function that shifts ‘name’ to ‘lss="trms">agency’, virtual to concrete. That is if one knows the proper name, one could raise all actual lss="trms">agencies that act with real consequences—slogans in politics may rely on this typical power of cursing. In the Amazon I was not looking for the proper name of lss="trms">nature, neither theological nor analytical nor the lss="trms">supposed accidental. That means (looking for ways) critically not to be real.

An extended concept of cursing enters visuality in the gaze of the evil eye.<lgc clss='lgc'>[lgc>11<lgc clss='lgc'>]lgc> The malevolent glare who stamps upon by staring at an accidental moment of encounter in the evil eye, brings together the lss="trms">narrative of the random lss="trms">traveler who casts a gaze in another lss="trms">world of virtual and visual lss="trms">agency, and emphasises the randomness and hideousness of looking. The transaction between the eyes in the evil eye goes both ways to posses both the beholders.

The lss="trms">intersection of visions is feared and programmed in the modalities of lss="trms">material talisman and culturally protective performances for the subject from meeting the other’s gaze. But the evil eye is precisely so powerful and real because of its ability to name the uncanny event of encounter. “Nothing is wholly obvious without becoming enigmatic.”<lgc clss='lgc'>[lgc>12<lgc clss='lgc'>]lgc>
