WOOLF & VIOLET – PSYCHOTIC DELIRIUM

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/woolf-violet-psychotic-delirium-6507126a204f

 


A beguiling trio of fantastical and farcical anti-fairy tales about a giantess who builds a magical “cottage of one’s own,” battles a silver-scaled sea monster, and defies governesses and gravity alike

In 1907, eight years before she published her first novel, a twenty-five-year-old Virginia Woolf drafted three interconnected comic stories chronicling the adventures of a giantess named Violet―a teasing tribute to Woolf’s friend Mary Violet Dickinson. But it was only in 2022 that Woolf scholar Urmila Seshagiri discovered a final, revised typescript of the stories. The typescript revealed that Woolf had finished this mock-biography, making it her first fully realized literary experiment and a work that anticipates her later masterpieces. Published here for the first time in its final form, The Life of Violet blends fantasy, fairy tale, and satire as it transports readers into a magical world where the heroine triumphs over sea-monsters as well as stifling social traditions.

In these irresistible and riotously plotted stories, Violet, who has powers “as marvelous as her height,” gleefully flouts aristocratic proprieties, finds joy in building “a cottage of one’s own,” and travels to Japan to help create a radical new social order. Amid flights of fancy such as a snowfall of sugared almonds and bathtubs made of painted ostrich eggs, The Life of Violet upends the marriage plot, rejects the Victorian belief that women must choose between virtue and ambition, and celebrates women’s friendships and laughter.

A major literary discovery that heralds Woolf’s ambitions to revolutionize fiction and sheds new light on her great themes, The Life of Violet is first and foremost a delight to read.

This volume features a preface, afterword, notes, and photographs that provide rich historical, literary, and biographical context.

Promiscuous impulses and canal desires

 

 

EXQUISITE CARNAL PROMISCUITY

https://medium.com/p/13078450489c?postPublishedType=initial

 


You must admit the world would be simpler if all the people of color were pink or red, Republican or Trumpian. Pink-Red is the Trumpian race today, and it is a race that has the flavor of a caste in a society where all the Dalits are Republicans. Lenin has been retired. Stalin has been recycled. Mao Zedong has been museumized. Even Uncle Ho has been saigonized.

 

So Harlem does not have to become democratic. It is already as open as a coital or coitic – altogether chaotic – nest. Maybe it is the dream of all those perverts who used special services from the suicided sexual pervert, the master pimp of all the elites of the Western World. But maybe, the people of color could try to go back to their own colors and defend a world of multicolor shades, not only the range of all pinks.

Être ou ne pas être Plurilingue: Tenon ET mortaise

 

LE PLURILINGUISME, UN ENJEU MAJEUR POUR L’INTERNET ET L’IA

https://medium.com/p/b7ec9d202aa4?postPublishedType=initial

 


La 7ème édition des Assises européennes du plurilinguisme aura lieu à Paris, les 20, 21 et 22 mai 2026, après plus de vingt ans de la première édition (Paris, octobre 2005).

Dans L’économie du 20e siècle, l’économiste, historien et philosophe français François Perroux déclarait que « nous ne possédons pas une théorie d’ensemble, cohérente et utilisable, de ce que je propose de nommer l’« effet de domination » » (Perroux, 1961 : 27).

Pourquoi parler des rapports de domination alors qu’il s’agit de traiter de la circulation des savoirs, des imaginaires et des compétences en rapport avec la diversité des langues ? Quand il y a circulation, déplacement, transfert, il y a des différences de niveau, ce qui signifie que les savoirs, les imaginaires, les compétences n’émergent pas partout en même temps et de la même façon, ce qui engendre différences, déséquilibres et conflits potentiels.

Ainsi, plutôt que de considérer la domination comme un mal, et de se lancer dans une quête à l’égalité sans issue, mieux vaut la considérer comme un fait qui conditionne toute vie personnelle et sociale et qui trouve sa régulation dans la vie sociale. Dès lors, la circulation des savoirs, des imaginaires et des compétences devient intelligible.

Une autre dimension fondamentale pour comprendre la circulation des savoirs, des imaginaires et des compétences, est la dimension linguistique. Elle est généralement négligée en raison du préjugé monolingue.

Aimé Giron était publié dans la presse populaire de son temps

 

LA CHAISE-DIEU RESSUSCITE AIMÉ GIRON

https://medium.com/p/60eebe1131dd?postPublishedType=initial 

 


On l’aurait bien cru disparu cet Aimé Giron et ne voilà-t-il pas qu’un jeune éditeur à La Chaise-Dieu le récupère chez Rakuten et nous réoffre sa fantaisie fantaisiste, mais pas si fantastique que ça, sur les amours adolescentes de Jacques de Saint Nectaire. Plutôt pervers, direz-vous ! Oui, mais réalistement pas laïque, ou est-ce catholique qu’il faut dire, du tout et médiéval en sautant d’un pied. Et le tout est amusant car on n’aura jamais le fin mot de l’histoire et le cas est définitivement glacé et clos. Même pour Sherlock Holmes ou je ne sais quel Lupin. Mais ce livre artisanal et fait main est un objet tout à fait respectable à collectionner dans sa bibliothèque.


 

We would certainly have thought Aimé Giron had disappeared, but lo and behold, a young publisher in La Chaise-Dieu has unearthed him, taken him out of his tomb, at Rakuten, and is offering us his whimsical, though not so fantastical, tale of the adolescent love affairs of Jacques de Saint-Nectaire. Rather perverse, you might say! Yes, but realistically not lay-secular—or should we say crystal-clear Catholic?—at all, and medieval to boot with a skipping rope. And the whole thing is amusing because we never get to the bottom of the story, and the case is definitely frozen and closed. Even for Sherlock Holmes or some other Arsène Lupin. But the crafty, handmade book is quite a respectable object to collect in your library.

My Pleasure of the Slave's Suffering, Slow and Long

 

SLAVERY AS PURE SNOW-CUM-SUGAR WHITE ENTERTAINMENT

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/slavery-as-pure-snow-cum-sugar-white-entertainment-d515c4eb8de7?postPublishedType=initial

 


This rewriting of Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Percival Everett is fascinating, but probably not for the reasons some people may think of.

 

The original book was a denunciation of slavery at the very time of Abraham Lincoln’s election and the beginning of the Civil War. It was to be implemented, at its writing time, as a denunciation of the Jim Crow segregation being instated by Congress in the 1870s, and the Supreme Court in the wake of it. “Stop doing that! You fools!” And it was totally useless and inefficient at the time.


 

So, what does it mean today when rewritten by Percival Everett, not from Huckleberry Finn’s point of view, but from the adult slave Jim’s point of view? It means for today’s public that the whole case of slavery is still not solved, and it has become the new racist and racial discrimination and segregation that still governs the USA.

 

And this is emphasized by the most cowardly presidents we have had since Obama, meaning all the presidents since Obama. Trump openly encourages all reactionary nationalist and more than conservative,  openly jingoistic forces in the USA, or Biden, who never had the stamina and will to really prevent this evolution by being weak and vain enough not to let the Democrats have a primary election, and thus forcing them into defeat in front of the new American-style apartheid.


 

True enough, Trump has put some milk in his coffee, and he targets brown people with a lot of Native American blood and African slave blood in their veins, essentially Latin and Mesoamerican immigrants, illegal or not. They are the color of “Café au Lait” from New Orleans Café de Paris, if it still exists, rather than black coffee without milk and without sugar, since sugar is reserved for the elite of this society, and the elite is milk-colored, blond, and with blue eyes.

 

And like Jim, you can only escape slavery if you kill a few people, if you set aflame a whole farm of corn and whatever else can burn, including a few buildings, and you run like an Olympic champion, and you drop your slave name and reduce yourself to “Just James;’ just your fictitious full first name that no one had ever used, and you probably had not been regularly christened anyway, but that “Just James” instead of “Nigger Jim” makes you escape justice for the “crimes” committed during your escape from slavery. The author does not see that it takes more than just these two words, “Just James,” to retrieve your purity, to get you epiphany, and to conquer your salvation.


 

James is condemned to never tell his real liberation because even in the North, crimes are crimes, and the vengeance of the whites does not slice up justice in either South or North. Fascinating, I said, mesmerizing, I can also say, but it takes a lot more struggling to get rid of the enslaving racism of the American society, and melting or thawing the present ICE of this society will produce a million times more carbon dioxide than the whole planet produced in 2000 AD.

Annunzio COULARDEAU, aka Hallal

 

INTRODUCTION

Jacques COULARDEAU

 

MÉLANGES sur le thème FAIRE L’AMOUR

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/m%C3%A9langes-sur-le-th%C3%A8me-faire-lamour-c4478481c12c?postPublishedType=initial

Rejuvenation? you said?

 

On ne peut pas faire l’économie de cette imagination.

 

Annunzio Coulardeau, aka. HALLAL ou HALLAH, n’hésite jamais à mélanger les genres, littérature réflexive, poésie agonisant la société ou agonisante dans un coin d’une classe d’un lycée pervers, lycée papillon ou collège libellule, les deux pris à jamais dans un cocon hermaphrodite, création ADN-nique garantie, un dragon de plus à notre fronton.

 

Et partout et toujours des œuvres plastiques, des distorsions barbériques digitales plus ou moins bien digérées par des ordinateurs torturés. Et le tout en langage binaire, 0 français et 1 anglais. Il y a peut-être un troisième langage, mais il n’est plus linguistique, simplement spirituel.

 

Et cela ne devrait pas vous faire rire, quand un lycée français se réduit à un plafond qu’on scrute, une horloge qu’on minute ; une porte qu’on prend et un truc tout vomi d’un savoir que vous savez mais qu’on vous dit que vous ne savez pas. Qui a raison ? le pauvre trublion dans la classe ou le/la prof/fe qui sait nécessairement mieux que qui que ce soit, qui que ce moi, qui que ce toi, qui se redresse, sans tête, dans le courant d’air de la vie réelle.

 

Bonne partance et bonne arrivée garanties.

 

To be read from right to left, except if you believe the ghost is in you, skeleton and all.

 

Bonjour la compagnie, en Anglais.

Saluton al ĉiuj, en la angla.

 

We cannot do without this imagination.

 

Annunzio Coulardeau, aka HALLAL or HALLAH, never hesitates to mix genres: reflective literature, poetry that either agonizes over society or languishes in a corner of a classroom in a perverse high school—a butterfly high school or a dragonfly middle school, both forever trapped in a hermaphroditic cocoon, a guaranteed DNA-tic creation, one more dragon on our pediment.

 

And everywhere and always, visual artworks, barbaric digital distortions, more or less well digested by tortured computers. And all in binary language: 0 French and 1 English. There might be a third language, but it is no longer linguistic, simply spiritual.

 

And this shouldn't make you laugh, when a French high school is reduced to a ceiling to be scrutinized, a clock to be ambushed; A door you take and walk through with, and a whole lot of knowledge you know though you are told you don't. Who's right? The poor troublemaker in the class or the teacher who necessarily knows better than anyone, whoever this one seen as me, whoever this one seen as you, who straightens up, headless, in the draft of a damn real life?

 

A safe departure and a safe arrival guaranteed to all.

 

Rösslein, Rösslein, Rot,

Lass dich nicht von Lorelei gefangen nehmen.
