Introduction

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

This category is devoted to the body of theory from which rised the Boz universe. It lies on a battery of texts spanning on a decade.

You’ll find :

- Psychanalyse et neurosciences (Julien Friedler, Paris, PUF, 1995)

A book where the notion of myth is questioned.

- L’œil d’Œdipe (Julien Friedler, Paris, PUF, 2004)

This book heralds the necessity to create new myths that fit to our modern societies.

- Le Grand Livre des Commentaires (The Great Commentary Book) (work in progress), proposing a tight comment on the Book of Boz.- An history of La Moire asbl (research center on the psychic apparatus) founded in 1993 by Julien Friedler and Sandrine Rochez.

Introduction to the “Great Commentary Book”

Monday, October 2nd, 2006

The Great Commentary Book (GCB) will thus stand in as an term by term exegesis of the Book of Boz (which has been indented in duly numbered fragments).

So, it had to relay, exemplify and solve another exegesis, aimed to other purposes : the Book of Boz conceived like a tree (the linear version of the account), of which the roots will unveil the structure : an hypertext’s, working by associations and reconstructions (see "The Boz and the Net").

Weaving our web, it was interesting then to follow the "path" shown by the "track-word" Pop Art, related to fashion as "practical knowledge".

In the GCB, a text refers to this explicitly. It’s an explanation about segment 32 contained in "My first character". There, you’ll find Boz Company’s deep motivations and the way to embody them.

Now, here is the mentioned text

[Segment 32, p.5 LB] : « Andy Warhol had worked well : with Pop Art, he had made a “tour de force” in creating a popular art aimed to the elite. A paradox. »

(The previous paragraph from GCB (Great Commentary Book) dealt with the role of money in art field.)

Hence the idea to fight evil by evil.

In “XXX”, we had seen the primitivism movement could find its wind-up in a return to sacredness. On the same occasion, we had also mentioned our own implication in Pop Art. This, without further precisions, letting the reader unsatisfied. For how to cross “primitivism” with “Pop Art” without betraying them or, worse, becoming ridiculous.

Indeed, how ?

HOW ?
