NOTES RRR
scanning the RRR reduction I was going to note something in the notebook but decided that there is no reason to use the paper and then copy it into the computer as I normally do when I can use the computer directly
from RRRred 182
some ideas on god — one can’t prove or disprove — the idea that one can’t prove a negative — but really why bother in cases like god — what has to be examined is what power structures operate in the concept of god — the positive of gods existence can’t be proven either — what is gained by believing or not believing in god — how have the power structures used god — (is Baudrillard right to say that there is no more power really — perhaps at this time we need another set of terms — older terminologies are not appropriate for our structures — the structures that are collapsing — examine the terms of power in the middle ages or in the era of kings etc (the way these terms are used in science fiction etc — the retrograde aspect of science fiction))

note the passage on p183
make variations on it to alter its tone
make some references in the bibliography to separate books that I like and those that I don’t but which are used in the text
the way that my readings of Cortázar and the development of my altered texts alerted me to the possibilities of reading in altered orders (relate this to hypertext)

last night watched ‘That Obscure Object of Desire’ which I didn’t remember well at all — but I liked it better this time — should try to get together a set of Buñuel films to watch in sequence

<6/23/13 in the typed notes the designations with the parenthetical numbers are on the same line as the date — i didn’t go back and change the previous ones>
