泥棒ダダダ。そのいち。

ダダのやつの書き直しのアップなんだけど、とりあえず今日はこれだけね。途中で挫折したよ。面倒で。明日テストだし。いや、明日のエッセイを書けよって話なんだけど。

The Birth of Dada

World War 1 was raging and making a pessimistic mood, when the Romanian poet Tristan Tzara, committed to the development of an anti-art movement, which expressed hatred of rationality, unintentionally stabbed knife into dictionary, the point of a knife has stabbed the word of “Dada” which is meaning in French, “a wooden horse” and meaning in the Slavic languages “chime in”. Since Tzara decided “Dada” as an anti-movement name, Tzara started Dada movement with Hugo Ball a d Hans Arp without any clear and rational meaning. The movement eventually included Francis Picabia, Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp and Kurt Schwitters, and they designed various art forms such as assemblage, collage, and photomontage under the inference of Dada. From the two main places of Dada, Zurich and Berlin, Dada spread to Paris in 1920, and also extended to Barcelona, New York, Holland, and Tokyo. Dada played an astonishing role in the global network of free artists escaping from the dominant ideology. In addition, some of artists who participated in the Dada movement evolved in to Surrealism.

The Concepts of Dada

The concepts of Dada are indefinable, however, it is very clear that Dada claimed the emancipation from existing ideas such as reason, rationality, morality and so on. Dadaists thought that the arts should make people better human beings, in other words, Dada shouldn’t simply regarded as an expression of chaos, nonsense or jokes. As Tzara asserted in the 1918 Dada Manifest, “Dada had a human purpose, an extremely ethical purpose!” it indicates that the very idea of Dadaism is familiar with anarchism as a political philosophy, which means that both of them are usually regarded as a symbol of chaos or aggressive radicalism. Needless to say, that is a complete misunderstanding. From the perspective of individual emancipation, Dada or anarchism asserted that every individual should be free from existing ideas, especially ideas that authority imposed upon people, including politics, arts, morality, rationality and so on. It is easy to assume that since Dada was created by very oppressive situation, the First World War, this oppressive situation ignited the very idea of emancipation. Political philosopher Ernesto Laclau says “There is no emancipation without oppression, and there is no oppression without the presence of something which is impeded in its free development by oppressive forces” which indirectly illustrates that the condition of emergence of radical ideas or expressions. The movement of Dada is not engaged with some specific political movement or agenda; in other words, they wanted to negate that engagement of specific political ideas or philosophies.

で、一年後ぐらいに「ヘタクソな文だなぁー」とかって思えればいいなぁーと思います。次回も続きをアップしなきゃいけないから書き直しをしないといけないってことだよね。これが俺の求めていた構造的な力学だよ。アップせざるを得ないっていうね。特に最近、すんげーペースで色々書いてたわけだけど、とりあえず落ち着いてネタ切れ気味にもなってきてるしちょうどいいな。それにしても一年かぁー。去年っつーか今年のはじめはあれだったよな、コブクロ批判だったよね。もうあれから一年も経つのか。すんげー年寄りな気分。

SNDって本当に精神安定剤みたいな名前だし、実際そうだよね。なんなんだろう。不思議だよなぁー。俺が長らく精神安定剤に依存しているように、例えばSNDを寝る前に聞くっつーか流しながら寝るっつーのをもう８年位やってるわけよね。８年って凄いよね。まぁ毎日SNDってわけじゃないけど、まぁ寝る前聞く音と言えば自分で作ったカデューが素材のアンビエントっぽいやつとか、レインフォレストのサウンドスケープとかあとバリ島の森林のサウンドスケープとかなんだけど、もちろんSNDは常連ね。なんかね、恐らく脳には音に対するレセプターってのがあって、それは人によって違うんだけど、その人のレセプターにあった音ってのが見つかるとそれって一生モンになると思うんだよね。俺も何千って音楽を聴いてきたけど、完全にフィットする音楽って以外と少ないんだよ。まぁその少ない中の一つがSNDなわけだが。

さっきのレセプターと同じで自分に合ったDJってのも以外と少ない。そんな中でまぁRuptureはその合う一人なわけだが。ブートだろうがなんだろうがミックスがあればまず聞きたくなるっていうDJだよね。俺は勝手にこの人が世界一だって思ってるけど。こういう人がいるから俺がDJをやる理由なんて全く無いわけ。
