Black Banner Distro – Resignation is Death: responding to the negation of anarchy
Viznor quotes
The conditions are that, first, no story is the same. The conditions are npostmodern because of their connection to oral expression which is usually a kind of free-floating signifier or a collection of signifiers, depending on who’s present. The meaning of such stories that are orally presented depends on a number of interesting, lively, immediate, temporal, and dangerous, dangerous natural conditions […]
[…] To hunt, to tell stories, is dangerous. It’s also survivance. […] that is […] a conditional experience rather than a mere response to domination or victimization. Survivance is not just carrying this burden and surviving […] but also inventing a world view. It’s an attitude of play – play in a very serious sense. Survivance is the end of domination ion literature. It’s also a new kind of existentialism, a source of identity – not the French atheistic existentialism but tribal existentialism or spiritual existentialism […] the discovery of tself through action, through being prersent […] The advantages to survivance are that it provides a way to accept this condition, reverse what’s been imposed upon us – and play with that!
Philosophically, I think we should break out of all the routes, all the boxes, break down the sides. A comic spirit demands that we break from formula, break out of program. . . . I suppose I am preoccupied with this theme because the characters I admire in my own imagination and the characters I would like to make myself be break out of things. They break out of all restrictions. They even break out of their blood. . . . They break out of invented cultures and repression. I think it’s a spiritual quest in a way.
