Femininity as Marginality
"If patriarchy sees women as occupying a marginal position within the symbolic order, then it can construe them as the limit or border-line of that order. From a phallocentric point of view, women will then come to represent the necessary frontier between man and chaos, but because of their very marginality they will also always seem to recede into and merge with the chaos of the outside. Women seen as the limit of the symbolic order will in other words share in the disconcerting properties of all frontiers: they will be neither inside nor outside, neither known nor unknown. It is this position which has enabled male culture sometimes to vilify women as representing darkness and chaos, to view them as Lilith or the Whore of Babylon, and sometimes to elevate them as the representatives of a higher and purer nature, to venerate them as Virgins and Mothers of God. In the first instance the borderline is seen as part of the chaotic wilderness outside, and in the second it is seen as an inherent part of the inside: the part which protects and shields the symbolic order from the imaginary chaos. Needless to say, neither position corresponds to any essential truth of woman, much as the patriarchal powers would like us to believe that they did.”
-Toril Moi (Feminist, Female, Feminine)
Balzac okuma sırası
bir süredir kronolojik olarak devam ettiğim okuma listesinde artık fransız edebiyatına yaklaştım. modern romanlara aslında daha var fakat Balzac'ı okumakta sabırsızlandığım için 1-2 romanıyla başlayacağım.
biliyorsunuz. Balzac çok üretken bir yazar ve kitapları aslında bütün bir hikayenin parçası. bu çerçevenin adı Le Comedie Humaine olarak geçiyor. türkçe adı ile İnsanlık Komedyası. ve oldukça büyük bir külliyat.
internette yaptığım araştırmada, okuma sırası (reading order) olarak aşağıdaki linke ulaştım. genel olarak yayın tarihine göre okunuyor fakat hem bazen sıralama değişiyor, hem de aynı yıl yayınlanan kitaplar var. dolayısıyla bu sıraya göre okunursa konu bütünlüğünün daha iyi anlaşılacağı söyleniyor.
sizin bildiğiniz bir rehber varsa paylaşabilirsiniz. bu listedekilerin bazıları türkçede yayınlanmamış. yayınlananların ise türkçe karşılıklarını yazacağım; takip etmek isteyenler için.
seri Goriot Baba kitabı ile başlıyor.

"Is that what God does? He helps? Tell me, why didn't God help my innocent friend who died for no reason while the guilty ran free? Okay. Fine. Forget the one offs. How about the countless wars declared in his name? Okay. Fine. Let's skip the random, meaningless murder for a second, shall we? How about the racist, sexist, phobia soup we've all been drowning in because of him? And I'm not just talking about Jesus. I'm talking about all organized religion. Exclusive groups created to manage control. A dealer getting people hooked on the drug of hope. His followers, nothing but addicts who want their hit of bullshit to keep their dopamine of ignorance. Addicts. Afraid to believe the truth. That there's no order. There's no power. That all religions are just metastasizing mind worms, meant to divide us so it's easier to rule us by the charlatans that wanna run us. All we are to them are paying fanboys of their poorly-written sci-fi franchise. If I don't listen to my imaginary friend, why the fuck should I listen to yours? People think their worship's some key to happiness. That's just how he owns you. Even I'm not crazy enough to believe that distortion of reality. So fuck God. He's not a good enough scapegoat for me."
