Ontological Laughter: Comedy as Experimental Possibility Space
Descrição do Produto
Timothy Morton
ONTOLOGICAL LAUGHTER:
COMEDY AS EXPERIMENTAL POSSIBILITY SPACE
B
efore you can have something, there needs to be a “space” for you to have it in. That’s a really crude paraphrase of some of MARTIN HEIDEGGER. Naturally we now need to tread carefully through some of the terms here, such as “have,” “in” and “before.” What this means is that comedy is the ground state of innovation, to borrow a term from quantum theory. Comedy is the possibility of novelty, vibrating and not-vibrating at the same time, the possibilities superposed. *GZPVDPVMETVNVQNZUIJOLJOHPOFDPMPHZ ZPVXPVMEýOEZPVSTFMGFODPVOUFSJOHBOVOEFS-

If anyone is doing reality, it’s the humanities, insofar as humanistic scholars pursue the elusive, perhaps never fully graspable, aspects of a thing such as a poem.

“
Coexistence implies as much anomalous flickering as possible, whereas deleting some of it is called violence, or destruction, or death. Things persist in flickering, rather than in remaining constantly present. Another name for this flickering persistence of as many entities as possible is comedy....

“
For every logical system there is a Gödel sentence. For every cell there is a virus. For every stem there is a flower. For every lifeform there is death. Try to eliminate the virus and you get a much more virulent one. Autoimmunity is hardwired into the structure of a thing. Or: a thing is saturated with nothingness. Entities are so incredibly . . . themselves. Yet in this selfsameness they are weird, self-transcending.
