Thread: Yard

    Default Yard

    Old English geard, Old Saxon gard 'enclosure', Old High German gart, Old Icelandic gardhr, Gothic gards 'house'. The same stem, *ghor-dho-, may be the orgin of Latin hortus 'garden', Greek khortos, Welsh garth. Latin hortus of course provides such well-known terms as "horticulture" and "orchard"; less obviously "cohort" and "court". Greek khortos furnishes "chorus" and "choir" (special enclosures for singing or dancing). This stem emerged as Old Slavic gradu 'city, enclosure' (as in Stalingrad) and Russian gorod 'city' and ogorod 'garden', probably borrowed from the neighboring Ostrogoths.

    Von Hippel - St Marys and All Saints Parish Church disproves his theory. Loved the Ted M though.

    <<'(January 2010)

    Yardie (or Yawdie) is a term stemming from the slang name originally given to occupants of government yards in Trenchtown, a neighborhood in West Kingston, Jamaica. Trenchtown was originally built as a housing project following devastation caused by Hurricane Charlie. Each development was built around a central courtyard with communal cooking facilities. Poverty, crime, and gang violence became endemic in the neighbourhood, leading the occupants of Trenchtown to be in part stigmatized by the term "Yardie" '>

    Deleuze keeps distinguishing between the emphasis of desire on deterritorialisation, and the emphasis of pleasure on re-territorialisation. Do you see this dynamics in the use of these concepts by D&G and F? I don't. Bodies and pleasures are the 'rallying points of counterattack' against the noise of the bourgeois economy of christian ascetism, Foucault says in VS. And they are the field of the aesthetics of existence that is a deprise de soi, or a line of flight from subjectivation, whichever language you speak. So, bodies and pleasures do produce deterritorialisations. But they are also the field of play for ethics. Now, for Deleuze and perhaps Guattari it is the conjunction or conjugation of these lines of flights into a 'veritable diagram' that constitutes the assemblage produced by desire. A clear picture.
    Rogers' person-centered theory emphasized the concept of "self-actualization." This concept implies that there is an internal, biological force to develop one's capacities and talents to the fullest. The individual's central motivation is to learn and to grow. Growth occurs when individuals confront problems, struggle to master then, and through that struggle develop new aspects of their skills, capacities, views about life. Life, therefore, is an endless process of creatively moving forward, even if only in small ways. Regarding this “self-actualization”, Rogers has related his experience of watching seaweeds on a seaside; he observed how seaweeds resisted against the heavy pounding of the sea waves crushing upon them. The seaweeds took the blows of waves upon them but after every attack they would stand erect again which shows their innate urge to live life. Rogers says,

    “Here in this palm like seaweed was the tenacity of life, the forward thrust of life, the ability to push into an incredibly hostile environment and not only hold its own, but to adapt, develop, and become itself.”
    it may just be how you tell them .....
