Sincerity T-Shirt now available on zazzle

admin — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 18:06:30 +0000

People have been asking me if I was going to make these available for a while. I silk-screened the original batch myself, but I don’t want to get into keeping an inventory of these or shipping them out, so I decided to upload the image to zazzle.com and make it available that way.

Please excuse the models.

The shirts are only available for men.I would suggest light heather grey or white – I can’t predict how the design will show up on darker colors. The grey/black ringer t-shirt looks like a good bet.

Blood and Ink and The Unabomber

A thoughtful article from Stanford University News, regarding a translation of “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski’s “Manifesto.”

Unabomber’s writings raise uneasy ethical questions for Stanford scholar
French Professor Jean-Marie Apostolidès finds link between blood and ink in Ted Kaczynski’s “Manifesto” – but should we listen to a killer?

‘Our words have no power’

“It’s the problem of scholars, even artists: Our words have no power. We think we are changing the world – particularly on the left,” he said, and paused. “You accept your symbolic castration – that your writing will take time to have a modest influence on your contemporaries.” In other words, he accepts the compromises necessary to live a normal life, with an income, collegial support, home and family.

Yet Kaczynski’s writings and life have intrigued Apostolidès by emphasizing “the relationship between writing and killing, ink and blood.”

“From a cynical perspective, I write books without killing anyone – my writing will have no impact. The only way I can be listened to is to associate my writing to something.” That is, “either your own blood or someone else’s.”

For instance, he cited Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, whose meticulously planned seppuku in 1970 triggered an avalanche of interest in his works.

Kaczynski is following in these footsteps, rejecting the petit bourgeois alternative that Apostolidès has knowingly embraced and instead “linking blood and ink.”

There’s a LiveJournal community based in the Russian Federation devoted to Yukio Mishima. I flipped through the posts and they had some Mishima-related content I’d never seen before.

Golgatha – Reflections on Heroism

admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 08:53:27 +0000

Several songs on the German ritual-folk band Golgatha’s 2005 “Kydos – Reflections on Heroism” album were dedicated to Yukio Mishima. The songs “Icarus” and “World Serpent” were particularly inspired by Mishima and his “Sun and Steel,” according to Chris from the band.

An American fellow was inspired by Yukio Mishima to study Japanese swordsmanship. He just started a blog titled “American Mishima.”
