Genealogical Method
Genealogy - tracing a history
What is method > creatively trace history, it is a fabricating of the past
> Not about digging up the facts, it is about defining the absolutes, it is synthesising, making and fabricating
History is typically mapped on a single linear axis
Projects with pre-determined ends don't allow for the vibrancies of chance, chaos, difference and unexpected experiences
Genealogy is a multidirectional non linear history - in this way it allows for complexity for the fore fronting of an unanticipational potential
> Time Lapse of Roots - analogy of our research, process of existence
Process of research of encountering the unexpected stuff, of reacting to that stuff and developing new relations. It is an exploration driven by a life of experience
Can you be mapped to a single linear series of events in the past, or a set of determined events in the future?* explored in future lectures
> Multiplicities - key word. You, like everything else, are complex things. You are made up of many multiplicities
> Culturally you are sister, human, citizen, musician, patient
Materialistically you are a collection of regenerating cells, subatomic noise, nutrients, digesting
These are all real that they are efficacious (they have an effect) but these things are often omitted from the experience of everyday life - constantly create narratives of the reason that dismiss the complexity of reality
Waking Life - The Ageing Paradox
These narratives are ways to make life more understandable - they are a way of reducing and abstracting reality unto something manageable
> Similar to the Studio Brief - this can be thought of as a critical narrative
Your projects are not more true or accurate versions of the event - that would be counter to the philosophy of the genealogy
Instead they are only alternatives
ALL representation is lacking - no amount of detail can represent in totality what you are nor what anything else is
Online profile for example, is only a single facet
There can be no total representation of reality only a partial re-imagining
Emphasising a particular narrative - it is selective and creative
> it is creative way to make meaning and express alterity (alternatives) you define your own narrative of things
You are writing history, not reading history
it can be interpreted as a "backstory" or and "emergence" of a thing
History is MORE than Romans and Tudors
Friedrich Nietzsche
Famously exhorted "God is dead"
On the Genealogy of Morality
Beyond Good and Evil
Shows that morality and notions of good and evil are fabricated over history rather than being timeless values delivered from the church
Notions of what is good and what is bad change over times
