Re: [microsound] book lists

KIm, thanks for the suggestions of possible books,
I recently read two books that may too some be offensives and others deeply 
essential -guillame appolinaire's 'flesh unlimited' published by velvet 
publications and george bataille's 'story of the eye' published by city 
lights. If you are into de sadian type reading then these are must haves.
i also just finished mary douglas' 'natural symbols' for a course and it too 
in soem ways wwas provoking. Its content was how the individual fairs in 
society, and how ritual and cosmology can be signs to measure one's degree 
of subjectivity. It is an interesting read on many levels and hinds at the 
idea of body annihilation as a means of removing oneself from society. I 
think this is pertinent these days especially with all the research that is 
being done on the ideas of post humanism ala kroker and biotechnology.
anyways I have to return to my lexical analysis.
