Not wanting to die, and knowing the sadism of men, knowing what men can do in the name of sex, in the fuck, for the sake of pleasure, for the sake of power, knowing torture, having been able to predict all the prisons from her place in the bedroom and the brothel, knowing how callous men are to those less than themselves, knowing the fist,

“the mother and father of all evil”
In 2018 Mr Erdogan appointed his son­in­law, Berat Albayrak, as finance minister in the belief that he could command market forces. Two years later Mr Albayrak resigned for health reasons after splurging $128bn in foreign­exchange reserves to defend the lira. Mr Erdogan has dogmatically insisted that interest rates are “the mother and father of all evil” and has fired three central­bank governors for not reducing them. Two years ago the president made clear at a meeting with the Turkish Industry and Business Association that as a Muslim he would continue to lower interest rates in accordance with Islamic teaching. Now Ms Erkan has cautiously increased the benchmark interest rate from 8.5% to 15%, although the market expected 20%. And the lira has crashed. The question is who will blink first when Islamic teaching comes into conflict with economic orthodoxy.
Until the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD and the ensuing council at Yavneh there was no Jewish orthodoxy: Judaism embraced a number of groups and sects. Christians constituted one of these, alongside Sadducees, Pharisees, Essenes, ‘Zealots’ (resistance fighters), and other less well known. Christians, including Gentile converts, regarded themselves as Jews — and until well into the second century other Jews also regarded them as Jews.

The Sodalitium Pianum never had more than fifty members, but its influence and spirit was far more widespread than its mere numerical strength. A new intransigence became the required mark of the ‘good’ Catholic. ‘Real’ Catholics were ‘integralists’, accepting as a package-deal everything the pope taught, not picking and choosing in the ‘pride and curiosity’ of their intellect. In September 1910 the general atmosphere of suspicion was institutionalized when a lengthy and ferocious oath was devised to impose a straitjacket of orthodoxy on suspects, and subscription to this oath became a routine and repeated part of the progress of every cleric’s career, from the lowliest priest to the most exalted cardinal. The ‘Anti-Modernist Oath’ shattered public confidence in the integrity and freedom of Catholic academic standards.
For the Latin East, worrying developments were taking place in Egypt where Saladin was rapidly extending his power and influence. As vizier in Egypt he put an end to the Fatimid caliphate and restored the country to Sunni orthodoxy. Following the death of Nur ed-Din in 1174, Saladin succeeded in receiving the recognition of the caliph in Baghdad as his successor and marched on Damascus. Egypt and Syria were now united under one ruler and the Latins were not blind to the threat to their position that Saladin now posed.

Here again Tanizaki runs counter to orthodoxy. His pessimism (and probably his earthiness too) would not be at all popular with the modern artistic establishment: the ‘masters’ of flower arrangement, tea ceremony, calligraphy, painting, dance. Many of these people make handsome living by their art, and, as the government’s chosen cultural emissaries, have been influential shapers of the image of Japanese culture that is packaged for export. The implication that their art is stillborn could not but be resented. Tanizaki, however, would dismiss it as cold and sterile, too far removed from the sources of its life to claim any vitality. That scattered vestiges of excellence still survive he would not deny; and anyone who has seen for instance a votive performance of Nō on the weathered outdoor stage of a temple or shine must agree that they do survive. But for Tanizaki circuit museum piece is no cause for rejoicing. An art must live as a part of our daily lives or we had better give it up. We can admire it for what it once was, and try to understand what made it so — as Tanizaki does in *In Praise of Shadows* — but to pretend that we can still participate in it is mere posturing.

In his essay on "Structure and Form" (1958: Ch. 8), Levi-Strauss locates the principal difference between myths and folktales in the strength and quality of the oppositions they mediate. Myths serve a more central and serious cultural function, hence deal with more important cultural anxieties and are subject to stricter demands for logical coherence, to concerns about religious orthodoxy, and to pressure to support cultural values and institutions. Folktales develop in a popular milieu which often sets itself in opposition to the cultural establishment, so that myth and folktale may stand in ideological opposition to one another. But folktale is subject to fewer cultural pressures, since it is, by definition, less important.

Subconscious of Orthodoxy
What were these brave lads fighting for? Definitely not money; it was ideology that drew them to the battle zone. “Our religion” was the most frequent answer they gave when asked about their motives. “I am an Orthodox and I must help my Serb brethren against the Muslims,” said twentyfour-year-old Vagelis Koutakos.
Ehl-i sünnet (islamic orthodoxy) vahiy meselesinde peygamber’in işgal ettiği yeri çok küçümsediği gibi, Kur’an’ın sağlıklı olarak anlaşılmasında ortamın oynadığı rolü de gereğinden fazla sınırlandırmıştır.
The sanctions of imperial authority were available to decree and determine orthodoxy; orthodoxy followed imperial power; political resistance could be heresy.
