MAPPING

A collection of systems, structures and schemes that can be used as a rudimentary basis to begin to explore links between literary and visual pursuits and the schemata that are latent in our personal geographies, the cosmos and all else inbetween. A basis to begin a consideration of how creative production seeks to grasp what it means to be in the world.

Modernity must stand under the sign of suicide, an act which seals a heroic will that makes no concessions to a mentality inimical toward this will. Such a suicide is not a resignation but heroic passion. It is the achievement of modernity in the realm of the passions.

—Walter Benjamin, “The Paris of the Second Empire in Baudelaire”, in Selected Writings, Volume 4: 1938-1940 (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2003), 45. (via chipclayton)
