This lecture is the introduction to an Industrial Design Masters module titled "Leaving the Cocoon, Facing the World".
Module Brief:
For over three years TU/e ID students have learned to look at their navel. It’s even more than that: the navel needs to be observed, scrutinized, self-criticized, and only up to a point one is able to look beyond this cherished body part. All this is related to the ID competency system, and the model of writing self-evaluations with the goal to reflect on one’s learning experiences. Indeed, it is a powerful way to obtain the tools to gradually become an industrial design engineer.
As the Bachelor’s 3rd year relates to the core theme of acquiring an Identity, one would think this year is an outstanding opportunity to leave the cocoon there and then. After all, internships and an individual Bachelor project give ample opportunities to face the world. For some this is the case, for others it turns out to be a bridge too far. Acquiring independence of thinking takes time and effort, and, above all, a network of knowledge, people, and places. But still being connected to the ID curriculum, an ID Bachelor student first and foremost has to relate to the educational umbilical cord. Righteously so.
The ID Masters phase is another cup of tea altogether. Here as well the curriculum steers the student’s activities. But there are other expectations compared to the Bachelor phase: identity should be further developed, independence of thinking and acting is one of the core requirements throughout the Masters course.
In the ID Masters every step should be an anticipation of things to come: there is a professional life at the end of the tunnel. Where does one stand after the ID Masters graduation? What tools and fundamental insights does the student have when facing the world at large after ending this education?
What is essential is to have developed a bird’s eye perspective on what the world of (industrial) design and cognitive culture is about, and what discourses abound. For many artists, architects and designers, their written statements, manifestos and essays turn out to be essential during their formative years. Because it is not only their art and design that make up their development, but also their writing, and the way they materialize and contextualize their viewpoints.
This module gives you insight into the way a number of outstanding artists, designers and architects have influenced their respective disciplines by means of their essays, statements, and manifestos. In some cases their attitude, opinions, and prophesies influenced a whole generation.
It would be going too far to expect something similar from the module participants, especially because many Masters students obviously don’t have the urge (yet) to be so outspoken, or lack the necessary insight to develop such a key position. This urge comes from within, and manifests itself at the right time and place. But let’s just act as if

[Burgess anthony 99_novels_best_in_english_since_bSandip Simmy
Anthony Burgess introduces his book "99 Novels", which provides a list of what he considers the best novels published in English since 1939. He analyzes how accurately novels have reflected their time periods and opened readers' eyes to the future. The book's list includes unexpected inclusions like Ian Fleming's "Goldfinger" and omissions like Nabokov's "Lolita". Burgess, known for writing "A Clockwork Orange", provides short arguments for each novel on the list and why he chose works that brought new techniques or perspectives to the genre.
The RAGE that made Achilles the most dreaded warrior of the Greeks, the rage that drove him to slay so many noble Trojan warriors, was also the rage which urged him to withdraw from battle, the rage he felt when the main King Agamemnon seized the beloved maiden Briseis from Achilles, Briseis, the Trojan maiden, the prize of war. Then, when Patroclus, his best friend wearing his armor, is killed in battle by the Trojan hero Hector, Achilles goes mad with rage, turning into a killing machine, avenging his friend’s death by killing Hector and many Trojans, even though his goddess mother Thetis revealed to him that if he returned to battle, he would die in battle, rather than live a long life in obscurity if he simply returned home.
The Iliad both glorifies the glory and honor the brave warrior earns on the battlefield while also exposing the meaningless and futility of war, with many touching family scenes of husbands and fathers whose fates are doomed. The Trojan War is doubly futile, the Greeks are fighting for the return of Helen of Troy, who was abducted from the Greek Menelaus by the Trojan Prince Paris, and Helen now despises Paris for the long war he was brought on his people.

This document provides summaries and links to audio books available on the website www.AudioBookOne.net. It includes summaries for books on a variety of historical topics such as World War 2, the American Revolution, Cuba, and the United States ranging from the colonial period to recent decades.

The document provides an introduction and overview to Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado". It discusses the plot, in which a man named Fortunato is lured into the catacombs beneath another man's home by the promise of wine but led there with sinister intentions. It also examines the concept of an unreliable narrator and prompts the reader to consider if the narrator can be trusted based on clues in the story. Finally, it provides some historical context about catacombs and the carnival season setting of the tale.
We cannot truly understand the culture of the ancient Greeks, and Greek philosophy, culture and history, and also the Western philosophical tradition, without becoming familiar with Homer’s works, the Iliad and the Odyssey.
The Iliad and Odyssey depict a warrior culture. All ancient cultures were warrior cultures out of necessity. War was a deadly business, if an ancient city-state lost a major war, often the men would be slain, and the women and children would be sold into slavery. Most of the slaves of the ancient world were either captured by pirates or enslaved during war.
Both ancient Rome and Ancient Greece were warrior cultures, the cultures of the nations of Israel and Judah in the Old Testament were warrior cultures, and all ancient and medieval cultures were warrior cultures until the rise of the modern nation-state. To properly interpret Greek Philosophy and History, the Western Philosophical tradition, and the Old Testament, we must realize that these ancient cultures were rooted in a warrior ethos.

Montresor lures Fortunato into his family catacombs under the pretense of sampling a rare wine. As Fortunato becomes increasingly drunk, Montresor walls him up alive in the catacombs to enact his revenge for an unspecified insult. The story is narrated 50 years later by Montresor, who feels no remorse for his cruel and calculated murder of Fortunato.
Montresor lures his acquaintance Fortunato to his vault under the guise of sharing a rare cask of amontillado wine. He leads Fortunato deeper into the vaults, where he chains and walls up Fortunato as revenge for some past insult. Poe uses irony and ambiguity to portray Montresor as a psychologically disturbed man obsessed with vengeance. The story is an example of Gothic fiction and a cautionary tale about the dark forces that can drive human behavior.

Here are the results of your autopsy:
Your body was in good condition for your age with no signs of disease or injury. Internally, all organs appeared healthy and functioning properly.
Upon examining your brain, we found it to be highly developed and complex. The cerebral cortex was well-organized with a high density of neurons and extensive neural connectivity. This level of brain development is uncommon and suggests advanced cognitive abilities such as high intelligence, creativity, and emotional intelligence.
Analysis of your heart showed it to be larger than average, indicating a capacity for deep empathy and compassion. Microscopic examination revealed the heart tissue to be resilient and elastic, a sign of emotional resilience and ability to love unconditionally.

"Report me and my cause aright": "Hamlet" functions subversively as an intera...Marianne Kimura
"Hamlet" functions as a cultural production to subversively train fighters in the centuries-long fight to resist fossil fuels, capitalism and the western symbolic. Horatio is the avatar and Hamlet is the senpai or sensei figure.
The document discusses Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado". It provides context about the period of romanticism in which the story was created.

The Iliad is a story about how Achilles and Agamemnon were arguing over their beautiful concubines captured in the Trojan War. Capturing concubines during war was common in the ancient world, in Greece, Rome, and during Old Testament times, there are even laws in the Torah on how soldiers should treat their captured concubines. And up to the time of Trent many church councils forbade kidnapping as an acceptable form of courtship.
The first sentence of the Greek class the Iliad starts with the RAGE of Achilles, the rage that made him the most dreaded warrior of the Greeks, the rage that drove him to slay so many noble Trojan warriors. But the Iliad was about another type of rage, the rage which urged him to withdraw from battle, the rage he felt when the main King Agamemnon seized the beloved concubine maiden Briseis from Achilles.
We will also look at how morality or history of concubines are discussed by:
• Iliad and Odyssey
• Roman mythology
• Book of Judges
• Torah
• Rabbis, Ramban or Maimonides
• Origen
• St Augustine
• Council of Trent

Homer was an 8th century BC Greek poet believed to have authored the epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey. The Iliad describes the Trojan War and centers around the warrior Achilles, while The Odyssey follows Odysseus' journey home after the war. Though some dispute Homer's historicity, the poems provide insights into ancient Greek values like honor and courage. Both works have greatly influenced European literature and art for over 3,000 years. However, it remains uncertain if the stories as we know them today precisely reflect Homer's original telling.

Homer was an 8th century BC Greek poet believed to have authored the epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey. The Iliad describes the Trojan War and centers around the warrior Achilles, while The Odyssey follows Odysseus' journey home after the war. Though some dispute Homer's historicity, the poems provide insights into ancient Greek values like honor and courage. Both works have greatly influenced European literature and art for over 3,000 years. However, it remains uncertain if the stories as we know them today precisely reflect Homer's original telling.

Narrated by Jerome, the story follows the comic misadventures and discussions had by the three men as they stop at various towns along the river. While intended as a relaxing escape from their self-diagnosed illnesses, the trip is filled with humorous mishaps, observations on local history, and witty reflections on various topics. The novel combines humor and sarcasm with philosophical notes, capturing the ordinary difficulties and absurdities of everyday life.

Richard Buckminster Fuller extensive body of work seems to be rediscovered by every new generation, and as such his ideas and attitude still radiate the same profound radicalism as it had in the 1930s and 1940s. Therefore it was interesting to lecture and discuss the man and his universe in a setting (the Design Academy) where science and technology is often a secondary or even tertiary point of interest.

Postmodernism arose in response to significant historical events like World Wars and social movements in the 1960s. It rejects notions of absolute truth, universal meaning, and essentialism. Instead, postmodernism embraces fragmentation, randomness, excess, and undecidability. It favors little narratives over grand narratives and sees reality as a social construct defined through language and discourse rather than objective facts. Postmodern art and literature aim to disseminate, simulate, and pastiche other works rather than represent depth or originality.
The poem analyzes the themes of abandonment and suffering in "Musee des Beaux Arts" and "Waiting for Icarus". Both poems depict Icarus falling from the sky after his wings melt, though Auden's version focuses more on how others ignore his suffering and continue on with their lives, representing abandonment. While Rukeyser's version in "Waiting for Icarus" also incorporates these themes, the suffering and abandonment are not as fatal as in Auden's poem. The analysis compares how the two poems use similar themes of abandonment and suffering, though with different levels of severity.

This document discusses dark humor and its history and characteristics. Dark humor attacks society's most serious subjects like death through comic irreverence. It was first defined and compiled by Surrealist artist André Breton in the early 20th century. Dark humor thrives on absurdity, incongruity, merging the sacred and profane, and making the familiar seem uncanny. It uses shock value and brings uncomfortable topics into discourse through distancing mechanisms. The document explores the development of dark humor through major historical events like the world wars and examines current purposes it may serve.

Coyote maintains that perception involves tricks and illusions that reveal the beginnings of knowledge, not its end.

"Are you a god?": Actaeon pursuing Diana in 'The Comedy of Errors' and 'The T...Marianne Kimura
Antipholus of Syracusa's pursuit of Luciana in The Comedy of Errors references the Actaeon/Diana myth, with Luciana associated with the goddess Diana. This metaphor shows the heroic intellect pursuing divine truth, an idea from Giordano Bruno's works. Petruchio's wooing of Kate in The Taming of the Shrew also references this myth twice, with Kate likened to Diana and Petruchio to the pursuing Actaeon. By referencing this myth, Shakespeare explored Bruno's idea of the heroic lover seeking eternal truth, though in more subtle ways as his skill developed.

The document presents two manifestos - one by F.T. Marinetti outlining the principles of Futurism, and one by Mina Loy outlining a feminist manifesto. [1] Marinetti's Futurism manifesto glorifies speed, danger, action, youth and aggression while rejecting tradition and the past. [2] Loy's feminist manifesto calls for the absolute demolition of traditional lies and the status quo, and says that true feminism requires women to reject being defined by their relationships to men and seek their own identities and purposes. [3] Both manifestos advocate radical rejection of the past and tradition in favor of new, aggressive approaches that break conventions.

After a short illness, Aaf van Essen died of cancer. She was one of the most valuable people in Art and Design education. As a tribute and playful commemoration, a number of friends and colleagues put together an alphabet of short presentations, based on Gilles Deleuze's Abécédaire. My letter was the 'O', round, perfect, seemingly indestructible, but also as ephemeral as all letters, words and people are. The 'O' reminds me of soap bubbles, the ultimate symbol of ephemerality, and for centuries depicted as an eloquent allegory of our short-lived human existence: Homo Bulla.

10. It is necessary for me to drop all respect for tradition, opinion, and judgement.
It is necessary for me to erase the rambling text that others have written.
The present does not exist in principles, but only in association.
We live in a fantastic age that draws its decisions more from affiliation than from unassailable axioms.
The creative man can do anything he wants with this age. It is, all of it, common property, matter.
Nature is neither beautiful nor ugly, neither good nor bad.
It is fantastic, monstrous, and infinitively unrestrained.
It knows no reason, but it listens to reason when it meets with resistance.
Nature wants to exist and develop, that is all.
Being in harmony with nature is the same as being in harmony with madness.

14. 1.
We want to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and rashness.
2.
The essential elements of our poetry will be courage, audacity and revolt.
3.
Literature has up to now magnified pensive immobility, ecstasy and slumber. We want to exalt movements of aggression,
feverish sleeplessness, the double march, the perilous leap, the slap and the blow with the fist.
4.
We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.
A racing automobile with its bonnet adorned with great tubes like serpents with explosive breath ...
A roaring motor car which seems to run on machine-gun fire, is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace.
5.
We want to sing the man at the wheel, the ideal axis of which crosses the earth, itself hurled along its orbit.
6.
The poet must spend himself with warmth, glamour and prodigality to increase the enthusiastic fervor of the primordial elements.
7.
Beauty exists only in struggle. There is no masterpiece that has not an aggressive character. Poetry must be a violent assault on the
forces of the unknown, to force them to bow before man.
8.
We are on the extreme promontory of the centuries! What is the use of looking behind at the moment when we must open the
mysterious shutters of the impossible? Time and Space died yesterday. We are already living in the absolute, since we have
already created eternal, omnipresent speed.
9.
We want to glorify war - the only cure for the world - militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of the anarchists,
the beautiful ideas which kill, and contempt for woman.
10.
We want to demolish museums and libraries, fight morality, feminism and all opportunist and utilitarian cowardice.
11.
We will sing of the great crowds agitated by work, pleasure and revolt; the multi-colored and polyphonic surf of revolutions in modern
capitals; the nocturnal vibration of he arsenals and the workshops beneath their violent electric moons: the gluttonous railway stations
devouring smoking serpents; factories suspended from the clouds by the thread of their smoke; bridges with the leap of gymnasts
flung across the diabolic cutlery of sunny rivers: adventurous steamers sniffing the horizon; great-breasted locomotives, puffing on
the rails like enormous steel horses with long tubes for bridle, and the gliding flight of aeroplanes whose propeller sounds like the
flapping of a flag and the applause of enthusiastic crowds.

25. André Breton: Exerpts from the first manifesto of surrealism
1. Within the limits to which its performance is restricted (or what passes for performance), the
dream, according to all outward appearances, is continuous and bears traces of organization.
2 I return to the waking state. I am obliged to retain it as a phenomenon of interference. Not
only does the mind show a strange tendency to disorientation under these conditions (this is the
clue to slips of the tongue and lapses of all kinds whose secret is just beginning to be surrendered
to us), but when function- ing normally the mind still seems to obey none other than those
suggestions which rise from that deep night I am commending.
3 The mind of the dreaming man is fully satisfied with whatever happens to it. The agonizing
question of possibility does not arise. Kill, plunder more quickly, love as much as you wish. And if
you die, are you not sure of being roused from the dead? Let yourself be led. Events will not
tolerate deferment. You have no name. Everything Is inestimably easy.
4 When the time comes when we can submit the dream to a methodical examination, when by
methods yet to be determined we succeed in realizing the dream in its entirety (and that implies a
memory discipline measurable in generations, but we can still begin by recording salient facts),
when the dream's curve is developed with an unequalled breadth and regularity, then we can hope
that mysteries which are not really mysteries will give way to the great Mystery.
(SURREALISM, noun, masc., Pure psychic automatism by which it is intended to express, either verbally or in writing, the true
function of thought. Thought dictated in the absence of all control exerted by reason, and outside all aesthetic25 moral
or
preoccupations.)

49. Energy is multiple, multiform.
The elites, the constructive spirits are all ‘of the same nature’:
constructive powers (energetic qualities) acting in various milieux,
indissociable, interdependent symphonic events of human activity.
In principle the city is precisely, necessarily the place of
assembly, contact, competition and struggle of diverse energies.
It would be dangerous and artificial to disperse them.
It would be contrary to the instinctual forces of assembly that have
given rise to the city…To isolate would be to enfeeble.
Le Corbusier, 1930

80. Something hit me very hard once, thinking about what one little man could do.
Think of the Queen Mary: the whole ship goes by and then comes the rudder.
And there's a tiny thing at the edge of the rudder called a trim tab.
It's a miniature rudder. Just moving the little trim tab builds a low pressure that pulls the rudder around. Takes almost no effort at all.
So I said that the little individual can be a trim tab.
Society thinks it's going right by you, that it's left you altogether.
But if you're doing dynamic things mentally, the fact is that you can just put your foot out like that and the whole big ship of state is going to go.
So I said, call me Trim Tab.

96. In the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.
What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where
the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.
An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have
but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them.
Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting.
The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.

104. Sol LeWitt - Sentences on Conceptual Art (1969)
1. Conceptual artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach.
2. Rational judgements repeat rational judgements.
3. Irrational judgements lead to new experience.
4. Formal art is essentially rational.
5. Irrational thoughts should be followed absolutely and logically.
6. If the artist changes his mind midway through the execution of the piece he compromises the result and repeats past results.
7. The artist's will is secondary to the process he initiates from idea to completion. His wilfulness may only be ego.
8. When words such as painting and sculpture are used, they connote a whole tradition and imply a consequent acceptance of this tradition, thus placing limitations on the artist who would be reluctant to make art that goes
beyond the limitations.
9. The concept and idea are different. The former implies a general direction while the latter is the component. Ideas implement the concept.
10. Ideas can be works of art; they are in a chain of development that may eventually find some form. All ideas need not be made physical.
11. Ideas do not necessarily proceed in logical order. They may set one off in unexpected directions, but an idea must necessarily be completed in the mind before the next one is formed.
12. For each work of art that becomes physical there are many variations that do not.
13. A work of art may be understood as a conductor from the artist's mind to the viewer's. But it may never reach the viewer, or it may never leave the artist's mind.
14. The words of one artist to another may induce an idea chain, if they share the same concept.
15. Since no form is intrinsically superior to another, the artist may use any form, from an expression of words (written or spoken) to physical reality, equally.
16. If words are used, and they proceed from ideas about art, then they are art and not literature; numbers are not mathematics.
17. All ideas are art if they are concerned with art and fall within the conventions of art.
18. One usually understands the art of the past by applying the convention of the present, thus misunderstanding the art of the past.
19. The conventions of art are altered by works of art.
20. Successful art changes our understanding of the conventions by altering our perceptions.
21. Perception of ideas leads to new ideas.
22. The artist cannot imagine his art, and cannot perceive it until it is complete.
23. The artist may misperceive (understand it differently from the artist) a work of art but still be set off in his own chain of thought by that misconstrual.
24. Perception is subjective.
25. The artist may not necessarily understand his own art. His perception is neither better nor worse than that of others.
26. An artist may perceive the art of others better than his own.
27. The concept of a work of art may involve the matter of the piece or the process in which it is made.
28. Once the idea of the piece is established in the artist's mind and the final form is decided, the process is carried out blindly. There are many side effects that the artist cannot imagine. These may be used as ideas for new works.
29. The process is mechanical and should not be tampered with. It should run its course.
30. There are many elements involved in a work of art. The most important are the most obvious.
31. If an artist uses the same form in a group of works, and changes the material, one would assume the artist's concept involved the material.
32. Banal ideas cannot be rescued by beautiful execution.
33. It is difficult to bungle a good idea.
34. When an artist learns his craft too well he makes slick art.
35. These sentences comment on art, but are not art.

108. “Three dimensions are real space. That gets rld of the problem of illusions and of literal
space, space in and around marks and colors - which is riddance of one of the salient and
most objectionable relics of European art. The several limits of painting are no longer present.
A work can be as powerful as it can be thought to be. Actual space is intrinsically more
powerful and specific than paint on a flat surface. Obviously, anything in three dimensions
can be any shape, regular or irregular, and can have any relation to the wall, floor,
ceiling, room, rooms or exterior or none at all. Any material can be used, as is or painted.”
From: Donald Judd - Specific Objects, 1965

125. “The areas of consensus shift unbelievably fast; the bubbles of certainty are constantly exploding.
Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a
discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture."

168. I swear to submit to the following set of rules drawn up and confirmed by DOGME 95:
01. Shooting must be done on location. Props and sets must not be brought in (if a particular prop is necessary for the
story, a location must be chosen where this prop is to be found).
02. The sound must never be produced apart from the images or vice versa. (Music must not be used unless it occurs
where the scene is being shot).
03. The camera must be hand-held. Any movement or immobility attainable in the hand is permitted. (The film must not
take place where the camera is standing; shooting must take place where the film takes place).
04. The film must be in colour. Special lighting is not acceptable. (If there is too little light for exposure the scene must
be cut or a single lamp be attached to the camera).
05. Optical work and filters are forbidden.
06. The film must not contain superficial action. (Murders, weapons, etc. must not occur.)
07. Temporal and geographical alienation are forbidden. (That is to say that the film takes place here and now.)
08. Genre movies are not acceptable.
09. The film format must be Academy 35 mm.
10. The director must not be credited.
Furthermore I swear as director to refrain from personal taste! I am no longer an artist. I swear to refrain from creating
a ‘work’, as I regard the instant as more important than the whole. My supreme goal is to force the truth out of my
characters and settings. I swear to do so by all the means available and at the cost of any good taste and any aesthetic
considerations.
Thus I make my VOW OF CHASTITY.
