Soul

The soul, in some religions, spiritual traditions, and philosophies, is the incorporeal or eternal part of a living being, commonly held to be separate from the body. Many philosophical and religious systems teach that humans have souls; some attribute souls to all living things and even inanimate objects (such as rivers); this belief is commonly called animism. The soul is often believed to exit the body and live on after a person’s death, and some religions posit that God creates souls.

The soul has often been deemed integral or essential to consciousness and personality, and may be synonymous with spirit, mind or self. Although the terms soul and spirit are sometimes used interchangeably, soul may denote a more worldly and less transcendent aspect of a person. According to psychologist James Hillman, soul has an affinity for negative thoughts and images, whereas spirit seeks to rise above the entanglements of life and death. The words soul and psyche can also be treated synonymously, although psyche has more physical connotations, whereas soul is connected more closely to spirituality and religion.

Character
( as seen in the field of the arts )

A character is the representation of a person in a narrative or dramatic work of art (such as a novel, play, or film). Derived from the ancient Greek word kharaktêr (χαρακτήρ), the earliest use in English, in this sense, dates from the Restoration, although it became widely used after its appearance in Tom Jones in 1749. From this, the sense of "a part played by an actor" developed. Character, particularly when enacted by an actor in the theatre or cinema, involves "the illusion of being a human person." Since the end of the 18th century, the phrase "in character" has been used to describe an effective impersonation by an actor. Since the 19th century, the art of creating characters, as practiced by actors or writers, has been called characterization.

A character who stands as a representative of a particular class or group of people is known as a type. Types include both stock characters and those that are more fully individualized. The characters in Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler (1891) and August Strindberg’s Miss Julie (1888), for example, are representative of specific positions in the social relations of class and gender, such that the conflicts between the characters reveal ideological conflicts.

The study of a character requires an analysis of its relations with all of the other characters in the work. The individual status of a character is defined through the network of oppositions (proairetic, pragmatic, linguistic, proxemic ) that it forms with the other characters. The relation between characters and the action of the story shifts historically, often miming shifts in society and its ideas about human individuality, self-determination, and the social order.

six_books
English Linguistic

Having been challenged to describe myself in six books I’m afraid I failed miserably. Instead I flitted round my shelves extracting books on subjects that have held my eclectic attention for more than the usual. The trouble is that there are so many other subjects – six just isn’t enough. Note that the French book (cartoons of Brel’s lyrics) has its spine printed in the opposite direction. Something to do with driving on the wrong side of the road I suspect. I also missed a trick in not putting Chomsky’s On Language on top of the book on a programming language :(

1) Albert Camus was one of the most significant writers of the twentieth century. His philosophical works, as well as his novels, have an enduring influence. Oliver Todd, authorised by Camus’ family, wrote the definitive life. The impoverished childhood in Algiers, conflict between sympathy for the working class Algerians and for the French colonials. Intimacy with the collaborationist Gallimard family; his involvement in the Satre – de Beauvoir conflict; his battles with the tuberculosis that had ended his role as goalkeeper for the university football team. Camus not only won the 57 nobel prize for literature, but was the second-youngest recipient after Rudyard Kipling, and the first African-born writer to receive the award.

2) I taught myself Perl not long after installing my first version of Linux about ten years ago. It started as a way of writing scripts to do things on that system. I then discovered that I could do anything with the language. I wrote programs that took data exported from an accounts package, using Perl and the WriteExcel library created formatted spreadsheets that were 100% accurate owing to the process being automated rather than the transferral of figures manually. The company I worked for were so pleased that they bought me the camel (book in the photo) as a reward.

3) Having read many of Chomsky’s political works I bought this as soon as it was published. Two of Chomsky’s most famous works were back in print in one volume. It features some of his most informal and highly accessible work, making it an ideal introduction to the man. Part I – Language and Responsibility : presents a self-portrait of his political, moral, and linguistic thinking. Part II – Reflections on Language: explores the study of language and offers incisive analyses of modern controversies amongst experts.

4) One of the best birthday presents I ever got. The Blue Guide to the Museums & Galleries of London has opened my eyes to all sorts of new places to visit. One day I’ll write my London on a shoestring book. There is just so much to see and do and it needn’t cost a fortune.

5) The Brel book is one of a set of two that I bought in Nice. They were remaindered and cost me the grand sum of seventy francs each. That’s about sixteen quid. This book I note also has a copy of the sheet music of Ne Me Quitte Pas tucked inside it’s front cover. These two volumes are amongst the guilty pleasures of my book collection. Each contains a plethora of Brel’s lyrics illustrated by some of the best cartoonists in Europe. There is even a smurf version of Rosa. My favourite however is probably Isabelle Busschaert’s depiction of Marieke or possibly Jarry’s depiction of Mon Pere Disait. Both remind me of the similarity between the flatlands of Belgium and the East Anglian countryside.

6) Pam Cook’s The Cinema Book. This is now in its third edition and is recognised as the ultimate guide to cinema and film studies. The acquisition of this dates back to when a friend was doing a degree in media studies and raved about the book. I did some film studies courses around the same time and thought that this would be good reading. So I blew my expenses from doing a second channel 4 fifteen to one quiz show on this. Must keep an eye out for second and third editions at affordable prices :)

the internet and anonymous intimacy
English Linguistic

Image by ezola
a girl I have never met made me a mixtape and posted it on her website yesterday. that’s a blogworthy event by itself, but there’s more.

I did the same for her, and included herman düne song I’ve been obsessing over lately. as part of this obsession I’ve been reading the lyrics pages. there are numerous massive lyrics sites on the net, and they could not be more impersonal, they each have millions songs’ lyrics literally surrounded by ads. Gaudy, shitty ads. Now they all have these false ringtone links that ostensibly allow you to a download a ringtone personalized to the song you’re looking at, but the link is a bait and switch fairy tale. slimy lyrics websites. but in the midst of all this, intimacy:

tinyurl.com/6q2zp9

if you look at the first word of the song, "first," there’s a colon after.

then, towards the end of the first stanza, is YOU, in all caps.

these little linguistic bits cannot be done by robots, and would not be done by someone paid to push lyrics onto this site, because you have to pay attention to the song, think about the song, to adorn the lyrics like this. I was thinking that perhaps they were republishing the lyrics from, for example, the liner notes, but there are a couple of mistakes in there, little words spoken under his breath, that were missed. I predict that somebody who loves this song as much as I do but doesn’t speak english as his or her first language posted these lyrics. I further predict that I am the only person in the universe who noted and appreciated the YOU in all caps. how’s that for anonymous intimacy.

the song is available here.

London – UK: Double decker red bus
United Kingdom

Image by wallyg
The London Bus is one of London’s principal icons, the archetypal red rear-entrance double-deck Routemaster being recognised world-wide. The Routemasters have been phased out in favor of other models. Pictured here is (probably?) the Alexander Dennis Enviro 400.

Buses have been used on the streets of London since 1829, when George Shillibeer started operating his horse drawn omnibus service from Paddington to the city. The London General Omnibus Company or LGOC was founded in 1855 to amalgamate and regulate the horse-drawn omnibus services then operating in London. LGOC began using motor omnibuses in 1902, and manufactured them itself from 1909. The last LGOC horse-drawn bus ran on 25 October 1911, although independent operators used them until 1914.

In 1912 the Underground Group, which at that time owned most of the London Underground, bought the LGOC. In 1933 the LGOC, along with the rest of the Underground Group, became part of the new London Passenger Transport Board. The name London General was replaced by London Transport, which became synonymous with the red London bus.

In the 1980s the government of Margaret Thatcher decided to privatise the bus operating industry in the United Kingdom, which at that time was dominated by London Transport in London, large municipally-owned operators in other major cities and the government-owned National Bus Company and Scottish Bus Group elsewhere. For largely political reasons the model followed in London was completely different from the rest of the country. In London a part of London Transport called London Buses was set up, with the remit to contract out the operation of services but to determine service levels and fares within the public sector.

This regime is still in place, although the ownership of London Buses moved from the central (UK) government-controlled London Regional Transport to the Mayor of London’s transport organisation, Transport for London, in 2000, as part of the formation of the new Greater London Authority.

The Docklands Light Railway is an automated light metro or light rail system opened on 31 August 1987 to serve the redeveloped Docklands area of East London, England.[1] It covers several areas of London, reaching north to Stratford, south to Lewisham, west to Tower Gateway and Bank in the City of London financial district, and east to Beckton, London City Airport and Woolwich Arsenal.

The DLR is operated under a concession awarded by Transport for London to Serco Docklands Ltd, a joint organisation of the former DLR management team and Serco Group. The system is owned by DLR Limited, part of the London Rail division of Transport for London (TfL) which also manages London Overground and London Tramlink (but not London Underground, which is a separate division of TfL).

In 2006 the DLR carried over 60 million passengers[2]. It has been extended several times, with work and proposals continuously ongoing. Although it has some similarities to other public transport systems in London such as the London Underground, DLR trains are not compatible with either the Underground network, Crossrail or the wider railway network in Britain.
