Sigiriya, le Roc aux Lions
SHADOW IN THE NIGHT
SIGIRIYA’S SHINY LADIES
Jacques COULARDEAU, French
& English translations
This edition of the Sigiri Graffiti set up in a
dramatic form about the fate of King Kasyapa is dedicated to those who made my
encounter with them and the Asparas on the Rock face possible.
First Sujeewa
who welcomed me on the Centre of Eco-cultural Studies’ base in Diyakapilla in July 2005. http://www.cessrilanka.com/
Second Sudarshani
who lived at the top of a tree and always made fun of my love for elephants.
Third the monks
of the Pidurangala Monastery where I had
the opportunity to climb to the top of their rock and spend a full night with
the reclining Buddha next to the
plaque of thanks of the monks to King
Kasyapa who gave them this rock in exchange for the Sigiriya Rock.
That was a good time of discovery and meditation that
meant a lot of interesting cogitation and mental improvement.
I kind of found some epiphany after five years of
extreme vagrancy and ten more years of primeval misunderstanding.
The Dhammapada
and Pali were my healing potions and
my visionary organic rational hallucinogens that had been elaborated by twenty
five centuries of absolutely sober wisdom.
No one needs soma, chrism, ayahuaska or tobacco to go
up to the sky of luminous imagination and the heaven of human wisdom.

Festival de Musique Futuriste
Jacques
COULARDEAU
LA
CHAISE DIEU - 3015
UNE
VISITE INTERSIDÉRANTE
Loukardill
débarque du satellite Europa de Jupiter dans son Vaisseau Spatial Individuel
(VSI) à La Chaise Dieu en 3015 pour l'ouverture du Festival. Il découvre
l'Abbatiale et ses secrets ou ses charmes parfois cachés, et surtout une
musique "sucrée" comme on dit sur Jupiter (en fait "sweet"
car on parle anglais partout dans le cosmos sauf en France), qui serait en
langue française standard de la musique sacrée.
Et
il prend un sacré pied - de nez bien sûr - à utiliser ses pouvoirs cosmiques
pour ajouter un peu de piment et de piquant dans le concert. Il en invente
alors le concept de Maladie Spirituellement Transmissible appelé à avoir une
longue carrière universelle dans l'univers des millénaires à venir. Il est sûr
que l'introduction de Rap dans l'Abbatiale entre deux morceaux baroques a pu
semblé un peu rococo aux esthètes patentés de la presse bien en vue - mais bien
mal en vie - de Paris. Inutile de dire que Loukardill est reparti ce soit là
plein de souvenirs fantasques.
Il
nous a laissé à rêver de ce que ce Festival pourrait être s'il était interrompu
de façon intermittente par des artistes alternatifs intermittents pour des
divertissements anachronistiques (en anglais dans le texte) intermittents.
Certains diraient bien des choses, mais Loukardill n'en pense pas moins.

Love-Deranged, Love-Addicted
SYNCHROSOME II – ILYA & VANYA
Jacques COULARDEAU – Kévin THOREZ – NADXKA
Notre musique vise au dépaysement sonore, à la recherche d’un univers où
instruments, langue et chant se conjuguent en un tout surprenant et même
parfois bouleversant. Nous cherchons à capturer et reproduire des émotions par
la musique et les sonorités parfois rauques de la langue anglaise.
Pour
ces albums, nous abordons des thèmes qui se veulent articulés autour de
l’Amour, sa puissance, profondeur et légèreté quand il apparaît, s’éteint ou se
brise pour mieux renaître… dans la
pureté ou noirceur du cœur menant à la folie, la passion ou l’illumination, mais dans des
histoires actuelles ou imagées parsemées de métaphores & de surprises qui
font de ces albums une aventure…
Ces
thèmes sont d’autant plus développés qu’un récit ou dialogue entre Ilya et
Vanya prend corps liant les chansons et révélant deux êtres se torturant par et
pour leur propre amour dans l’album Synchrosome II, Ilya and Vanya .
Les
visuels sont des peintures de ma cousine, Caroline Guille, tableaux visibles
pour certains, sur son site : caro-paint.com .

The songs were written to the music Kévin
Thorez had previously composed. All the songs are from 2011-2012.
The dramatic story of Ilya and Vanya was
written in 2013, integrating the lyrics of the songs as part of the story. It
is a full homage to a young man who does not like his name to be quoted or
uttered. Anonymous he will stay, just the way he likes it, and he likes many
things.
The two characters carry endearing
shortenings of Russian names. The names are masculine and the two shortenings
are built on a feminine ending. I was attracted by this ambiguity for our birds
of a feather.

The white European curse still at work
The Maya and the World, An
Update
https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/the-maya-and-the-world-an-update-fac790ad8bb8
Native
American civilizations were vastly destroyed by history particularly when the
Europeans arrived. Diseases, wars of conquest, the eradication of religions and
cultures that were not seen as compatible with Christianity, the thirst for
gold and other precious metals or gems, and the systematic looting of natural
resources caused a depletion of the Native American population by between 50
and 75%. Some say even more in some areas. Today, book after book, pyramid
after pyramid, glyph after glyph we are rediscovering the greatness of these
civilizations, even if some overdo it in this reevaluation. The Mayas had the
concept of zero as a voided empty box containing nothing, though they did not
have the concept of zero as the completion of a decimal, in their case a
vigesimal group. Yet their mathematics was a lot ahead of what we had in
Europe, though probably a lot less than what they had in the Arab world or
China. We voraciously devoured the Americas and today these very same Americas
are the scene of a new plague, pandemic, or whatever, and this time it also
kills more native Americans or Blacks or Browns than whites. History has a
tendency in some situations to repeat itself.

for our birds of a feather.
Just as I was attracted by
the morbid merging love of Dracula and Mina. Love is, in a way, losing yourself
in the other while the other loses himself or herself in you. Losing and
loosening themselves into each other.
That’s the miracle of love
and it has little to do with orientation, though we always have to consider the
end from the very beginning and just as much as love is suffering, the end of
love is exquisitely painful. Dukkha!

12th ONLINE ISAPL INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS Aveiro, 3rd-5th June, 2021
https://www.academia.edu/44960566/12th_ONLINE_ISAPL_INTERNATIONAL_CONGRESS_Aveiro_3rd_5th_June_2021
Due
to the worsening of the Covid - 19 pandemic, whose effects, despite the mass
vaccination, which has already started in many countries, extending beyond the
year 2021, we were forced to suspend the presence in person at the 12th ISAPL
International Congress, at the University of Aveiro, in Portugal. Instead, we
will hold the same Congress, online, from 3rd to 5th June, 2021, following the
example of similar International Associations, still under the auspices of the
University of Aveiro, in Portugal, which continues to give its full support.
We
invite all scholars and
students interested in the area of Applied Psycholinguistics to
participate in the online 12th ISAPL International Congress, to be held, from 3rd to 5th
June, 2021,
organized by the honorary members of ISAPL, Prof.
Leonor Scliar-Cabral (Florianopolis, Brazil) and Prof. Maria da Graça Pinto
(Porto, Portugal) along with the ISAPL Board members and the Presidents of the 12th
International Congress, Profs. João Torrão and Maria
Teresa Roberto (Aveiro, Portugal). Following the included 8th Circular,
important changes are
proposed. Due to the 12th
Congress successive date transfers, in whose Ordinary General Meeting, the new
Board should be elected, it made vacant the most decisive ISAPL board
positions, the President and the Secretary, an untenable situation, at the
current moment. So, we are obliged to trigger the electoral process for online
elections, one of the main topics of this issue. Please, follow the included procedures,
altogether with the guidelines for proposing candidates, suggestions for the
main topic for the 13th ISAPL International Congress, which will
take place on 2024 and for its site.

Apocalypse Musicale
Interprétation Jacques Coulardeau
Je dédie ce texte à tant de gens que je ne saurais tous
les nommer. Cependant certains ne peuvent pas être oubliés.
Tout d’abord ceux qui m’entourent ou m’ont entouré jour
après jour, Lucretia La Notte en premier lieu et Annunzio dans la foulée.
Au Puy en Velay Père Emmanuel Gobillard à qui je dois une
survie à qui il rendit l’espoir sur un lit d’hôpital.
A Saint Gervais sous Meymont Michel Thénot qui me fit
traverser le désert d’église romane en église romane, de Wuyvre en
Sheila-na-gig, avec mes amis de toujours, Jakin et Boaz, retrouvés à Beurrières
sur un portail du 12ème siècle.
Le poète Armand Olivennes qui fut un ami tout du long de
plus de deux décennies et demie.
Et plus que tout ce soleil que je sens luire dans ma
galaxie intérieure nourrie du feu de mes étudiants, car vivre c’est servir et
quand on ne sert plus personne ni rien il ne reste plus que la sortie, en fait
on est déjà sorti. Et ces étudiants sont des milliers sans que je les aie
jamais comptés.

Les Amazones qui hantent nos rétines
Michel Caubet
La touche damnée
Suivie de Innocents
(short stories)
Une note interdite, un pianiste
maudit. Un voyage aux quatre coins de l’Europe pour les suivre à la trace. Quel
est le secret de Guido Monticelli, spécialiste mondial de Chopin ? C’est
sa touche damnée.
Avec Innocents, Maria-Stella
d’Azzuro nous fait voyager dans le temps et l’espace, de la Côte d’Argent au
Piémont italien, d’Italie au sultanat d’Oman, des Iles Mascareignes aux ergs du
Sahara, du Cap-Vert aux canaux d’Amsterdam. La beauté y est omniprésente, qui
désarme les guerriers, attendrit les cœurs, ressuscite les morts.
Les innocents veillent, gardiens
de l’harmonie. Ils savent discerner la moindre fausse note, aucun bémol ne leur
échappe. Tant de dangers les guettent ! Où puiseront-ils leur force ?
Il faut que l’imprévu, ou quelque providence, vienne briser la mécanique
implacable du Mal. Alors ils triomphent. Une divinité secrète les protège, et
le conte dévoile le trésor redoutable de ceux qui ont eu l’audace de s’en
remettre à la toute-puissance de l’éternel Amour.
Michel Caubet
Né à Bordeaux, Michel
Caubet a voyagé dès son enfance au gré des pérégrinations d’un père médecin :
Congo-Brazzaville, Algérie, Sénégal. Puis, par goût personnel il a continué ses
errances. Océan Indien : Réunion, Ile Maurice, puis Pacifique :
Nouvelle-Calédonie, Iles Loyauté, sans compter l’Inde, et plusieurs tours
d’Europe en auto-stop. Un Rimbaud des XXe et XXIe siècles.
Les goûts de cet homme
aux semelles de vent, inclassable, le portent vers la poésie, le théâtre, les
langues modernes et anciennes. Traducteur, metteur en scène et acteur, c’est un
touche-à-tout, un polygraphe qui a encore beaucoup de projets d’œuvres en
réserve et mérite d’être enfin découvert.
UNE CRITIQUE
Michel Caubet et les petites filles.
(avec Les Baigneuses de Virginie mATZ)
Le recueil de nouvelles de Michel Caubet, intitulé
« La touche damnée », suivi de « Innocents » (short
stories) a retenu notre attention de critique pour de multiples raisons.
Passons vite sur le style, qui est élégant, fluide, classique. On devine un
lecteur de Maupassant, Tourgueniev, voire une parenté avec la veine surréaliste
d’un Murakami.
Ce qui nous intéresse davantage, ce sont les obsessions de
l’auteur, très en phase avec le mouvement actuel autour de MeToo,
BalanceTonPorc et la vague récente de révélations sur le problème de l’inceste.
Car sur les 9 nouvelles que comporte le recueil (une pour chaque muse ?) 4 ont pour protagonistes une petite fille ou une très jeune fille (la belle Oriana a 16 ans) et dans celle qui clôt le recueil « 14 juillet », une jeune femme séquestrée assiste bien malgré elle à une scène où de petites filles jouent un bien trouble rôle.
Dans « Paquette », une petite fille se lie d’amitié avec un garçon nettement plus âgé, mais le danger vient d’un homme d’âge mûr. La petite fille avertie sait se défendre du prédateur, et l’amitié entre le jeune homme et la petite fille pourra exister. Une autre histoire entre eux, amoureuse celle-là, semble se profiler dans un futur lointain.
Filles et femmes sont d’ailleurs omniprésentes dans le
recueil, et c’est souvent leur beauté qui est mise en exergue. La beauté de
Black Pearl semble effacer toutes les autres comme un « soleil noir »
nervalien chargé de nostalgie.
On trouve dans cet élégant recueil des échos du Le Clézio
des débuts (insertion de panneaux, enseignes et autres logos) et même de
Proust, avec cette Vivonne, rivière imaginaire où la nudité innocente de deux
corps rencontre le soleil.
La nouvelle éponyme, La Touche Damnée, à travers la
malédiction d’un pianiste (n’en disons pas davantage sur cette étrange
disgrâce…) est une réflexion sur l’art : un artiste à travers ses
créations exprime son univers propre, et la virtuosité ne peut tenir lieu
d’univers.
Nous avons pris plaisir à la lecture de ces nouvelles, et
on verrait bien le sympathique couple de La Touche Damnée réapparaître dans une
œuvre plus ample. Et pourquoi pas un roman ?
Maria-Stella

Illustrations, Annunzio Coulardeau,
aka Hallah
The unnamed character in this long poem is
trying to follow what is happening in his mind after the accident, after he
fell to the ground unconscious when trying to get back up after tying up his
shoe. He is entirely locked up in his own self and he is even seeing himself
from outside himself, he is the watcher, and the watchee is there lying on the
sidewalk and then later on suffering on a hospital bed.
The trauma is deep and brutal and he may have
lost his own mind at some time in this descent into pain, the worst pain being
that he was no longer the master of himself, and yet he fought for some
revival, some responsibility, for some modesty if not bashfulness. Suffering
from being unable to hide, and passing water became an ordeal and he had to do
it in spite of all.
This unnamed character is trying to follow the
strings that are within his reach, trying to re-emerge from this deep traumatic
cesspool in which he is some kind of floating half rotten piece of wood that is
losing its substance, impregnated with muddy water as it is. He pulls these
strings. They resist. Yet he has to get out of the soup in which he is
desolving.
In his post-traumatic pain and corrugation he
tries not to get lost in translation as if he would be transmuted into some
vaporous smog in a lightless empty void, floating fleshlessly and mindlessly.
Some recollections resonate in his brain, torturing his desire to just pass
away with the challenge to stand up and howl at his fear, his angst, his
apprehensive revulsion. Going down the road feeling bad in the midnight hour
when pushing the Dreadful Gate open.

Welcome to Family Emulation
Anne & Christopher Rice,
A Family Fiction
https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/anne-christopher-rice-a-family-fiction-df83915cebb6
I am
in the process of fulfilling an important piece of research on Anne Rice’s
novel Merrick, and the use of magic in the novel along with various references
to cultures where magic is or was fundamental. She refers to Voodoo, Candomblé,
Maya, Olmec, and even older rites and magics enabling contact with spirits,
ghosts, and other supernatural beings within two fictional contexts she has
used in many books, the Mayfair witches and Lestat de Lioncourt’s vampires,
plus a millennium-old secret society observing and researching the fields of
paranormal capabilities, the Talamasca.
Within
this research, I have hereby collected all the reviews on Anne Rice, and
Christopher Rice I could find in my readable computer archives. I am missing
some because at least two diskettes refuse to be read because they were
configured on an old dead Windows 95 IBM computer, at least three technical
generations ago. Sorry about that. I will one day get the hard copies out of
their files and scan them if I can find them, or I will ask a service company
to extract the data from the various diskettes I have, not to mention a Windows
98 computer of the late 1990s.
I
offer you these reviews. There might be some repeats. Sorry about it. They are
in the chronological order of the original publishing dates of the novel. I
have integrated some reviews of Christopher Rice’s works as some kind of dare
or challenge. The mother and the son are quite complementary, cultivating their
own private gardens on their own, with probably some communication between
them.
These
33,000 words are the reviews of most books by AnneRice and Christopher Rice
from which the study on Anne Rice's "Merrick" will be built trying to
elaborate on the theme of magic and various cultural references. Anne Rice and
her son Christopher Rice are both in subnatural and supernatural literature but
they do not compete because they are more complementary than conflictual. In
other words, they each have their own gardens and they do not invade one
another's flowerbeds. Anne Rice is in vampires, werewolves, witches, and
extreme erotic (understatement, rather pornographic) dystopia (though she would
say it is utopia). Christopher Rice is in extreme suspense literature, extreme
violence, and extremely realistic and even graphic eroticism. The early death
of Stan Rice, the husband and father of these writers, was something like a
trauma. Stan Rice was a poet

Supreme Court and Constitution
The
A Universal Lesson in Constitutional Right
Jacques Coulardeau & Ivan Eve
This
essay studies the Case of California's Proposition 8 from its adoption by the
voters in November 2008 to the most recent US Supreme Court ruling on June 26,
2013. This essay is essentially centered on the legal and constitutional side
of the case and the arguments dealing with Amendment 14 to the US Supreme
Court, Article III of teh US Constitution, and the concepts of due process of
law, equal protection of the laws, strict scrutiny, standing, all concepts that
should be universal in all legal and judiciary systems in the world. The case
then provides the world with a full demonstration of these judicial human
rights that in fact should define the concept of Habeas Corpus.
This
case deals with same-sex marriage in California. The US Supreme Court refused
to rule on the constitutionality of Proposition 8. They vacated and remanded
the Federal Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit's ruling on the case because the
people speaking for the State of California did not have the necessary
standing. That ruling indirectly affirms the ruling of the Federal District
Court that had declared Proposition 8 unconstitutional. Though it does not
create a legal void in California, this ruling encourages the ProtectMarriage
organization to start a new round of legal proceedings in the California
Supreme Court.
This long essay would not have been possible
if the first and shorter version had not been encouraged by one of its first
readers as follows:
“I think
your argumentation and logic is good. You shouldn’t be entering the rest of the
discussion, maybe you can quote all the experts or send back to what was said
in a footnote, but it is not your point. You are following the logic of the
legal and constitutional system: Amendment 14, the Court of Appeals, the
Supreme Court. What will happen, we can’t be sure, but you can project yourself
in the future, and you are already doing it, by saying that the Supreme Court,
despite taking a lot of time (which can also be to get the “temperature,” the
mood of the country within the next few months), is very unlikely to commit
itself with such an important issue. And your logic shows just that . . .
So, in short, your approach is the most
valuable as the case starts in California (and its norms) and shifts to the
federal level (multiple norms): they all thrive under the US Constitution and
Amendment

Haendel's Agrippina
HANDEL'S AGRIPPINA MODERN INTERPRETATIONS AND THE
ROLE OF COUNTERTENORS [Format
Kindle]
Jacques COULARDEAU , Ivan EVE Annunzio COULARDEAU
Handel's Agrippina was composed for the Carnival of Venice in
1709. It counts three male voices in the countertenor pitch and range in those
days most often held by castratos. Centering on Jean-Claude Malgoire's 2004
production first to come out on DVD, comparing it with two other productions on
DVD that came out in the following years, but also with the recent production
of Handel's Faramondo, we study the four different dramatic values of
countertenors in Handel's operas. This leads us to an in-depth study of the
re-emergence of countertenors after at least two centuries of quasi-silence. Is
it a transient fad, a freaky sham or a long-running phenomenon? We will meet
with two opposed opinions: Russell Oberlin's in 2004 and Laura E. DeMarco's in
2002. I will more or less follow Russell Oberlin who considers they allow the
production of Handel's operas and oratorios that had disappeared for two
hundred and fifty years. Why can we witness now this epiphanic resurrection? We
are far from having all the answers to that simple question.
