http://portablemortal.blogspot.com/2007/12/putting-ball-back-in-balla.html
Danzare con la tue morte. Monday, December 10, 2007. Putting the BALL back in BALLA. So my thesis has shifted from the morte. I've teamed up with Mother Solomon Infiniti to throw a House Ball. In the SAIC Ballroom. It's gonna be wild. Shade will be thrown. But I'm no Jennie Livingstone. right? Mark your calendars: May 4th. December 11, 2007 at 6:21 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Putting the BALL back in BALLA. Time stops :(michelle sciumbato).

Danzare con la tue morte. Wednesday, October 31, 2007. To what Degree can the Horror of Death be rendered Invisible by vesting It with Maximum Visibility?

Morte Balla: Evolutions
http://portablemortal.blogspot.com/2007/12/evolutions.html
Danzare con la tue morte. Friday, December 14, 2007. Postponed my flight to NY til tomorrow. Meeting with FLR on Sunday so there was really no need for me to be there tonight. Projects before parties. Much to do. Its 'residents' fight binary'd paradigms because their activated space is that of being between / both / neither either/ or. Why? Is it all in the name? Judgemental - yes indeed. But critical? I need to think more to articulate this better. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Morte Balla: (unchained melody: 9:23am)
http://portablemortal.blogspot.com/2007/11/unchained-melody-923am.html
Danzare con la tue morte. Wednesday, November 14, 2007. The legacies of the past and its burdens on the present. The radically provisional or divided nature of the self. The construction of peoples or individuals as monstrous or 'other'. The preoccupation with bodies that are modified, grotesque or diseased. Gothic has become so pervasive precisely because it is so apposite to the representation of contemporary concerns. There is no 'original' Gothic; it is always already a revival of something else.".

Morte Balla: gothic fakes
http://portablemortal.blogspot.com/2007/11/gothic-fakes.html
Danzare con la tue morte. Wednesday, November 14, 2007. Gothic is about the denial of depth and the insistence on the surface - on the mask rather than the face, the veil rather than what lies beneath, the disguise rather than what is disguised.". Gothic. possesses no original." Spooner, 32. The very notion of 'mock gothic' is. an oxymoron, because one cannot mock what is always already mocking itself. 35) (camp, and the misfits.).

Morte Balla: googlegoth
http://portablemortal.blogspot.com/2007/11/googlegoth.html
Danzare con la tue morte. Monday, November 19, 2007. The death of a scene. How to be goth. Fire up a gothic match. Though you probably can't stand goth music, you tolerate going to clubs because of the occasional Ministry and Misfits that they play and the hot people in vinyl and chains. Not that you'd ever have the social skills to date one of them, but eh, *something's* gotta fuel those masturbation fantasies, right? What kind of goth are you? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Morte Balla: January 2008
http://portablemortal.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Danzare con la tue morte. Sunday, January 6, 2008. O surivival or passing. O priviledge and play. O occupying social spheres. O confounding authenticity, ./;l. The anthropology of self. The white woman, the black man, and drag. Femininity / masculinity / inbetweening. Chicago as liminal space (between east and west canons). Vcs as liminal (what is critical about the visual : ambiconti). The force of innocence (lacking ulterior motives). Documentating the process (de-secreting). O Etc (al the above).
