10/1

187     loose leaf etc — flow charts

botinfinity
the academic environment — an anti-democracy —
Angela Carter hints at something that could be explored (Heroes and Villains)

188     I’m not sure about this — what kind of library or network does it imply

Lyotard

189 interesting idea of what will be done with older texts —

some would work very well — arranging Robbe-Grillet Butor Simon — all different results — totally different tasks — something to look at here

(idea of building an essay — sending it to Landow as I go along
layers of time)
(page marked in pencil — notes in pen while printing old notes and at work)

190     not a good analogy —

the electric motor would be a better analogy —
but CD players came out quickly — what other inventions then and now — impossible historical analogy

I doubt if the time change will be quicker
access to the network
the story — better than I thought at first — some flaws

196ff     access etc is important

ideas on copyright etc

198     why — both why
199     don’t think such a system would work —

note the problems with radio access etc
Gilbert — I agree with the problem and think it’s too easily put aside — the idea I keep getting is university or knowledge centers — not a democracy or diffusion — which is not necessarily bad — (Reinhardt on art)

200     morality — I always react against —

the real social screen — why isn’t it questioned — cf Nietzsche
