As Laura Mulvey characterized the problem, the “ultimate challenge” to feminism is “how to fight the unconscious structured like a language…while still caught within the language of the patriarchy.” In structuring our conscious and unconscious relations to the world, according to Mulvey, patriarchal representations trap women in an ideological blind alley. Debarred by the regime of language from an immediate relation to the real, we construct a simulacrum of the real out of the representational resources of the dominant ideology, according to this argument. Constituted as subjects by patriarchal representations, women do not have the epistemological resources necessary to escape the patriarchy.

history meme | (3/4)presidentsplaces | angkor watAngkor Wat is the largest Hindu at first, then Buddhist temple complex and the largest religious monument in the world. The temple was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura, the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shaivism tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation – first Hindu, then Buddhist. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country’s prime attraction for visitors.

Gyeongbokgung on a rainy day.
The film premiered in America in August 1979 and immediately caused a brouhaha. The Rabbinical Alliance declared the film “foul, disgusting and blasphemous”. The Lutheran Council described it as “profane parody”. Not to be outdone, the Catholic Film Monitoring Office made it a sin even to see the film. Audiences, however, loved it, making Brian the most successful British movie in North America that year.
To counter the mounting protests in Britain, an ingenious advertising campaign was launched featuring the mothers of John Cleese and Terry Gilliam. Muriel Cleese said that if the film didn’t do well, and as her son was on a percentage, she may very well be evicted from her nice retirement home – and that the move might kill her. She won an award for the ad.
Mary Whitehouse failed to prove that the film was blasphemous, particularly since Christ and Brian are distinctly shown as different people. Nevertheless, a number of local councils banned it – including some that didn’t even have a cinema. The result was coach parties being organised in places such as Cornwall (where it was banned) to cinemas in Exeter (where it wasn’t). The Swedish marketed the film as “so funny it was banned in Norway”.
Pick Up and Put Down - Daybreak
today was a mediocre day overall but a great thing about hanging out at hipster bars, drinking terrible Korean beer, is that you get to forget that it was mediocre and remember it as awesome.
