About Me |
|
| Growing up with an Italian communist father and having survived the American bombing of my hometown of Nantes at the end of the Second World War, I have been through a great deal in my time - the former left me both a Catholic and an anarchist, the latter left me a pacifist. While I wish I could lecture all over the world, I am terrified of travelling by technological means, especially airplanes and trains which could have an accident at any moment, which means that I spend most of my time within a very small amount of space where I can calm my nerves enough to feel that I am safe. Aside from my endless stream of thoughts on war and technology, I also design buildings that recall the aesthetics of bomb-shelters. Check out this one, my 'bunker-church' I did with Claude Parent: |

My Interests |
|
| technology, war, architecture, urbanism, writing, occupations | |
I'd like to meet:Others who sense that the predominant tendencies in the development of science, technology, politics and art in our time has stuttered the lesson of Auschwitz, in other words, the startling realization that while Hitler may have lost the battle, he most certainly didn't lose the war. I am also interested in meeting a housekeeper as my PTSD from the bombings I lived through are really starting to get to me more and more - sometimes I become so scared I cannot even rise from my bed. |
|
Music:Debussy, Ravel, Coltrane |
|
Movies:Anything by Ken Loach; while I am relentlessly critical of mass culture, there are some such as Loach who truly 'diverge' the medium with which they work. |
|
Television:Television is one of the primary means through which the phenomenology of distance has become polluted. |
|
Books:Merleau-Ponty's "Phenomenology of Perception" is incredible - it should really be read as a work of political theory. |
|
Heroes:Albert Einstein, Edmund Husserl, Simone Weil, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, Giorgio Agamben, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze. |
