FLUFFY TOWN

There was once Alpha House, its sketch-Club, and all around a big city full of sky scraped by concrete and glass, and in between, other 'itch-hickers' taking over galleries and the street! I'm going down, down, down, down... to Fluffy Town!

His-story & his-steric


Let's do a bit of cratylism (cf: Plato, Cratylus); i.e. let's interpret words according to the parts they're composed of, as if they had a meaning as well as the word itself:
History was made by men for men in the sphere of the public space where women are excluded a priori. We shall then deduce that history, his-story, is a manifestation of his-sterics: 'steric' relates to the spatial arrangement of atoms around in a molecule, the 'Free dictionary online' tells us. Therefore, his-sterics designate the science of the way men arrange around themselves what they consider to be an extension of their beings, their belongings, from the house, the war, to the wife, and the mental certitudes of such a patrimonial and matrimonial arrangement.
And they wanted to make us believe that 'hysteric' is a woman's thing?! No way. Even if this is more a joyous delirium than a serious theoretical reflection on etymology and epistemology, it has its part of wisdom, if your imagination is based on but goes further than your straight reason ;-)
