Faerie Tale Theatre Reviews: The Emperor’s New Clothes
“The people care not one whit for the inner workings of government. They only care that I look the part. If I’m to appear as a slovenly, disheveled ragamuffin, the subjects would assume that I am as common and ordinary as they are and unfit to rule this vast kingdom. No, they want to look up to me. They need to admire me. They demand I oppress them! And I shall.”– The Emperor’s raison d’etre that…

bent over his notebooks, the lamplight glowing softly
...As Jim Hoberman wrote in The Village Voice, “a goodly portion of JLG/JLG is charged with death, absence, silence. . . . [H]oled up in his tidy house in Rolle, Switzerland, Godard himself is his own elder, puttering with tapes, bent over his notebooks” (“His Life to Live,” 58); Godard’s home has become a fortress of books and videotapes, “a prison in which the caged artist feels at liberty” (Krauss, 160).
ex Wheeler W. Dixon, The Films of Jean-Luc Godard (1997) : 200 : link
—
the first quote — actually two, cobbled together — is not from Hoberman but rather Georgia Brown, “His Life to Live” in The Village Voice (May 10, 1994) : 58
accessible at the PFA CineFiles : link (free, but need to sign up)
where the passage (untruncated) is :
“Now in JLG, holed up in his tidy house in Rolle, Switzerland, Godard himself is his own elder, puttering with tapes, bent over his notebooks, the lamplight glowing as softly as any diva could desire.”
The Krauss passage is from
Rosalind Krauss, The Originality of the Avant-Garde and Other Modernist Myths (1986) : 160 : link
the chapter originally appeared as “The Originality of the Avant-Garde” A Postmodernist Repetition,” in October 18 (Autumn 1981) : 47-66 (56) : link (jstor)

on “cobbling together” — essentially what my putterings (and other) derivations are —
a difference being, here not knowing what is to be said (or hummed), until it is uttered, whereas scholarship is intentional, has an outline/plan... takes pains to communicate... rationality.

my kids came over yesterday and we sat at my kitchen table telling our tales of the week and talking nonsense about nonsense and we laughed and laughed and laughed until the sun started to set and the streetlights came on
tomorrow morning at finnie's house we'll all get together and our partner's too and have our monthly big breakfast and visit some more. i know this window where we are all so near and we can get together so often, i know it will close eventually. i am trying so hard to pay attention to every minute
i had dark dreams and restless sleep last night but boba kept me company the whole time. i got so hungry thinking about tomorrow, i made myself a big breakfast this morning too and it felt so good. it's a sunny day. i am finishing my coffee. boba is warming herself in a bright spot and chirping happy thoughts. i have a new poetry collection waiting for me at the library and i'm going to walk up the hill and across the park and through the woods to go get it and i'll see where the day goes from there
