ENGL 246 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Foreplay, Martin Heidegger, Mind Control
Document Summary
There is spacing and silences when there are dashes. Some material is drawn from other sources, like old rock songs, some of it is cultural/recognizable. Some of it is stories that have been mashed together, providing new insights to them. When reading, look for themes, repetitions, colours, listen to what"s happening. They are all about issues of control and they are non-human. Non-human preceeds us, calls us to command. These are the conditions that make possible revealing. Aliens give sense of domination of us, it is nothing human. A car is not an object separate from us, it is there and available for us to order. Humans are being harnessed in burroughs for their semen. They have become an energy reserve and have been reduced to that, this is what the aliens are conspiracing. The control machine is about the ordering of the words/associations. Associations are implanted in the story, kind of like brainwashing.
