Jack Kerouac sur France culture

Jack Kerouac, l’écrivain derrière l’icône

Par Bernard Comment et Bernard Wallet
Réalisation : Anna Szmuc

Jack Kerouac aura connu un succès destructeur avec la publication de « Sur la route » en 1957. La “beat generation” écrase de son image l’écrivain exigeant qui accomplit malgré tout son œuvre, même s’il n’aura finalement pas pu la mettre en cohérence (sur le modèle revendiqué de Balzac et Proust) et rebaptiser l’ensemble de ses personnages pour une « Légende de Duluoz » qui existe à travers les nombreux livres – romans, poèmes, récits – qu’il a écrits.
Et si on partait, donc, d’un postulat tout simple : que Kerouac est un énorme écrivain, une des figures majeures de la littérature du XXe siècle ?
Au fil de trois émissions, Bernard Comment et Bernard Wallet dialoguent autour de cette hypothèse, et retracent le parcours littéraire et intellectuel de l’auteur de « Sur la route », mais aussi des « Souterrains », de « Vanité de Duluoz", de « Tristessa », de « Mexico City Blues », de « Visions de Cody », de « Big Su »r, etc.
On entendra aussi les voix d’archives de William Burroughs, Robert Franck, Robert Kramer, Allen Ginsberg, Herbert Huncke (le dealer poète de Times Square), Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Ann Charters, et de Jack Kerouac lui-même, lors d’entretiens, ou dans ses formidables lectures qui font découvrir la prosodie magnifique de son œuvre.

Et des entretiens avec Isaac Gewirtz (responsable du fond Kerouac à la New York Public Library) et Philippe Brulin.

Lectures par Jean-Claude Dauphin

Interzone report: June-July 2009

INTERZONE REPORT

June-July 2009

Accueil / May 2009 / Contents of the tomes of the Time of the Naguals : Articles Poems Cut-ups Theater

Paul O'Donovan : "The rebirth of Ra-Atum-Khepri, occurring during an Interzone Coffee-break T.V. commercial, causing a partial eclipse over the Westernlands."

Hi all,

Summer news: a number of anniversaries , festivals, and the twelfth anniversary of Interzone. I delayed the sending of this report hoping I could finish the compilation of "The Time of the Naguals" before, but there is so much to include in it that it came out it was impossible.

12th anniversary of Interzone

Interzone started 12 years ago, on August 10 th 1997, some days after Burroughs passed away on August 2nd. Zoners who live in the same area can get in touch through the Interzone Coffee House at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theinterzonecoffeehouse/ and fix an appointment at the date and place they choose.

For virtual meetings, If a physical meeting is going on somewhere, it can be linked through computer with a meeting on the net in a chat at the same time, and a video chat would allow us to get in touch wherever we are in the world. Jim suggests to use Stickham free video chat at http://www.stickam.com/chatRoom.do I am creating a chat room there called "Interzone".

To use it, you must see the page at http://www.stickam.com/howto/index.do to connect with your video system.

For those who do not use a web cam, they can also use the plain chat of the forum Interzone at http://interzone.forumotion.com/ , but you have to join first and log in to access to the chat-room.

Interzone literature

"The Time of the Naguals" : articles, poems, cut-ups and theater :

The contents :

Last month the tome with the articles was on line at http://aubert.isa.googlepages.com/articlescontents.htm . This tome has been modified: the "Fiction" part has been suppressed to be included in the tome of the short stories, and the research has been added : mainly on detoxification, dreams and non-Aristotelian economy. It contains 172 pages at the moment, but I shall add more texts. The research on dreamachine has to be added too, so as the research part by itself is a big piece, it might end to become gathered in a research tome.The contents of the poems is at http://aubert.isa.googlepages.com/poemscontents.htmAt the moment, it contains 163 pages, but I must improve the presentation and want to add some illustrations, so it will probably be bigger.The tome of cut-ups contains 80 pages at the moment, but illustrations also have to be added. The contents is on line at http://aubert.isa.googlepages.com/cutupscontents.htmThe tome of theater plays, 63 pages, is finished. See the contents at http://aubert.isa.googlepages.com/theatercontents.htmThe tome of short stories has to be ended, but the most of the work is done. I should be ready very soon.I am gathering each tome in a Open Office file, then converted in pdf. Have a look at those pages of contents if you are the author of a text. If you want to change anything, let me know now before the definitive version. If you want to revise the writing, or reread it, and have lost it, I can send it to you for you to correct it. If you sent texts which I have forgotten, please let me know and send them. I'll add them to the whole.When I started this compilation, I thought it would have been finished sooner, but the whole reveals itself as a huge work !!!!!!!!!!! It gives an idea of the Zone's spirit and work at different levels, and is the result of experiments of Burroughs' and Gysin's researches realized by an international group of some hundreds of people in twelve years.

Beside the writings, I shall add to this compilation the CD of music : "Interzone compilation I", which was gathered by Paul Sinclair in the early 2000. It was on line some years ago and then disapeared from the net, so the only Zoners who have it are the ones who were part of it then, about 15 people including Paul Sinclair and me.

There also are the paintings and illustrations. A part of them are illustrating the different tomes of the writings, but there are so many than they would deserve another CD by themselves.

So this is a rough map of the work done until now.

Publication and sale:

The other important point is the publication: I foresee to make it through Interzone Editions http://www.inter-zone.org/editions.htm, on CD, because it's not possible to print the different tomes as books with the home-made way I use. So we must see the price of it, knowing that for the people who were part of them, the cost will be limited to the price of the CD and post fees if they want it on a CD, or transmitted through a mail in pdf files, for free.

For the other people out of Interzone, we shall have to determine a price, and as it is a collective work, see together what to do with the money which will come from it. You can refer to the articles written on a non-Aristotelian economy :

I New data on money: what are we talking about exactly? : http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Crete/9445/gsmoney.html

II Application of those data in the context of the Zone : http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Crete/9445/gsmoney2.html

III Proposition to experiment a zone of free exchange (latest version: April 21st 2000) : http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Crete/9445/gsmoney3.html

IV A non-Aristotelian economy (january 2002) and B. Proposition of a community structure at the scale of Interzone : http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Crete/9445/gsmoney4.html

V. Académie 23: january 2004 : http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Crete/9445/gsmoney5.html

VI January 2006 : a non-Aristotelian globalization ? : http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Crete/9445/gsmoney6.html

VII January 2009 : Interzone Editions: experiment of a non-aristotelian economy : http://semantiquegenerale.free.fr/gsmoney7.htm

The rest of the doc on a non-Aristotelian economy, based upon general semantics, is accessible from the page http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Crete/9445/economy.html for those who read French.

Festivals :

Naked Luch festival

In Paris

The big event since the latest report has been the Naked Lunch festival organized by Oliver Harris and Ian MacFadyen in Paris for the 50th anniversary of the 1959 publication of William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch from July 1st to 3. I could not go there, but you can see photos and videos on the event in the site http://nakedlunch.org/ at http://nakedlunch.org/events/paris/documents/, the Photographs and Coverage by Frank Rynne at http://brianjonesjoujoukafestival.blogspot.com/2009/07/burroughs-naked-lunch-50th-in-paris.html and http://brianjonesjoujoukafestival.blogspot.com/2009/07/naked-lunch-50th-anniversary-and.html and article by the Agence France Presse at http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jCAhQuduSMQr33sPNEp609O2JDwQ

Just a note to draw your attention to two things connected to the NL@50 anniversary: Thing One: those of you who saw RADIO JOY perform in Paris will be pleased to know that the group are selling a limited edition recording of "A Lucky Thief in a Careless World" via http://www.bandofholyjoy.co.uk/news.htm - and for anyone who didn't see it, their show really was extraordinary and brilliant. Thing Two: on the website at http://nakedlunch.org/events/paris/documents/ you'll find a series of videos and photographs documenting the Paris anniversary events, to which you're welcome to make additions (contact: http://www.blogger.com/keith@supervert.com ).

Interzone news' blog

I had started this blog at http://interzonenews.wordpress.com/ in May to host the Zone's news instead of blogspot, after Interzone news had suddenly disappeared, due to a mad robot. But as the site came back after I complained, I am back to it and I am using Interzone news' blog at wordpress to host news not related to Interzone. I shall jump into it again for the Zone news in case blogspot would collapse again.

Warning: Geocities closing :

As Zoners who have a free site in Geocities probably know, they are closing on OCTOBER 26, 2009, so the free sites will be suppressed, unless we pay to keep them on line. See at http://geocities.yahoo.com/ about it.So if you do not want to pay, you can have your site saved in Internet archives way back machine at http://www.archive.org/web/web.php . You can also save its contents on your computer with http://www.httrack.com/ (free software).

NL@50 - Three Things

Dear Fellow Burroughsians,

Just a note to draw your attention to two things connected to the NL@50 anniversary:

Thing One: those of you who saw RADIO JOY perform in Paris will be pleased to know that the group are selling a limited edition recording of "A Lucky Thief in a Careless World" via http://www.bandofholyjoy.co.uk/news.htm - and for anyone who didn't see it, their show really was extraordinary and brilliant.

Frank Rynne and the Master Musicians of Joujouka

http://brianjonesjoujoukafestival.blogspot.com/2009/07/blog-post.html

Membership card of Master Musicians of Joujouka/Jajouka/Jahjouka association of Frank Rynne.

Since 1994 Frank Rynne has been a member of the association of the Master Musicians of Joujouka/Serifya Association of the Master Musicians of Jahjouka/Jajouka/Joujouka. This membership carries with it the responsibilities and requirements to treat with and treat all fellow members equally. His representation of the Master Musicians of Joujouka in the West is an elected position and his views and actions are guided by the majority view of the Master Musicians of Joujouka/Jajouka/Jahjouka. It is not a relationship based on the contractual norms of the Western music business but rather, he is a fraternal member of the Master Musician's association.

This membership has set Rynne apart from other westerners who have produced the Master Musicians of Joujouka as he is accepted as an equal in the village but his designated and elected role has been to promote the Master Musician's music and to deal with people outside Morocco on their behalf.

Mojo Article on Matser Musicians of Joujouka Brian Jones 40th Anniversary Festival

No Stone Unturned Frank Rynne and Bachir Attar interviewed re the controversy surrounding the reissue of the Brian Jones presnets the Pipes of Pan Cd in 1995 from the Independent newspaper in the UK Friday, 21 July 1995

Past Masters from National Dubai March 6 2009. Though the Master Musicians disagree with many assertions in the article it is of interest as it is written by an unbiased journalist and musician Jace Clayton.

The oldest musician in Joujouka is Mallim Ali Abdeslam El Attar. Mallim is the name given to a true master of music and Mallim Ali is known as the Master of Joujouka to all. He is the oldest musician from Joujouka and the oldest Attar in the village.

Last year he presided over the Brian Jones 40th Anniversary Festival in Joujouka as he did at this year's festival in June. The reverence shown to him by the Masters is evident when they arrive at the musician's house in Joujouka. His presence is always something to be appreciated as a blessing. He is the spiritual leader of the musicians by virtue of his age, his wisdom and his adherence to the saint, Sidi Ahmed Scheich, whose blessings he attributes his longevity to.

At nearly 100 year of age Mallim Ali has had a hard life. In 1936 he was conscripted by General Franco into the Spanish colonial army and was forced to fight in all the battles in the Spanish Civil War. This was an experience that many his generation of Sufi masters in Joujouka endured. He was retained in Spain until the end of World War II and then returned to his native Morocco without pay or pension.

From 1945 onwards he continued to play with The Master Musicians of Joujouka and was a veteran of Hamri's efforts to support the village by bringing the musicians to play on the trains between Ksar El kebir and Tangier, in the International Zone. This was the Interzone of William Burrough's fiction. In the 1950s he played at Brion Gysin and Hamri's restaurant, the 1001 nights in Tangier. This is where William Burroughs first saw the Master Musicians perform. He recalls his playing for Brian Jones with humorous glee. However a sadness also descends on Mallim Ali when he recalls those days to people. He always insists on naming the great masters who played with him who are now dead.

Last year, award winning rock photographer, Jill Furmanovsky, made a series of portraits of Mallim Ali which were published in the Onelife magazine. Other photographs by Jill of the Brian Jones 40th Anniversary Festival in Joujouka have appeared in The Guardian, Dazed and Confused and Mojo . The festival was celebration by the village of jaoujouka/Joujouka of brian Jones visit to record an LP in 1968. The resulting LP "Brian Jones presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka" was the first release on Rolling Stones Records in 1971. A small selection of her images from the Brian Jones Festival are available on The Master Musicians Myspace.

This June I brought copies of the magazine to the village and the day before the festival and on 4 June 2009, I presented Mallim Ali with a copy. In the below slide show you can see Mallim Ali looking at the magazine and I really like the photo I took of him with Jill's photo open on a magazine page with his full page portrait. Michael Pollock and his son Marlon were on the porch and Master Musicians Mohamed Mockshan and Radi El Kahil arrive and greet the Master. It is obvious in the photos the reverence that the Masters have for Mallim Ali. I always bring several tubes of prescription eye ointment for him as he has severe eye pain and discomfort. He always blesses me for this small gesture.

The day I left Joujouka in June he called me to one side and asked me where was the money gone from the Brian Jones recording and the other records he played on such as the Master Musicians of Jajouka record that Joel Rubiner put out in 1974 and Ornette Coleman's "Dancing in My Head" all of which have been reissue on Cd without any consultation with the Masters.

Sadly the answer is not a mystery as other posts on this blog have revealed. Cherie Nutting , her ex husband Bachir Attar and Joel Rubiner, who runs a successful business in New Mexico selling Moroccan leather, have the answers. Philip Glass's label Point Music reissued the Brian Jones LP in 1995 and no one thought to consult or include Mallim Ali or the other Masters and their families in the remuneration that ensued.

Noelle Pujol : site, photos and videos

http://noellepujol.free.fr/

Mon nouveau projet l'installation photo et vidéo "Les animaux de Tirana" est en ce moment en partie exposée au Centre d'art Passerelle à Brest dans le cadre de l'exposition collective "en vue… des manières de voir / la nature mise en image et en vitrine" (15 mai-22 août). http://www.cac-passerelle.com/

Elle est aussi visible dans la nouvelle revue en ligne Leucothéa, revue autour de l'oeuvre de Jean-Marie Straub et Danièle Huillet.
Voici le lien :
http://www.revue-leucothea.com/

"Noëlle Pujol a passé trois semaines à Tirana en Albanie dans le cadre d'un programme d'échange artistique. Pour mieux accéder à l'histoire du pays, elle décide de s'appuyer sur la figure animale et plus particulièrement la collection des animaux naturalisés du Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle de la Rruga Kavajës; c'est un espace ignoré, oublié, préposé à une activité de recherche scientifique et universitaire, aujourd'hui en état de dégradation. Un taxidermiste travaille encore dans son laboratoire. Il continue de porter l'irréalité du lieu de son atelier jusqu'aux salles obscures occupées par la communauté des animaux naturalisés (Le taxidermiste de Tirana). Ici l'animal est non seulement une figure de transition entre l'humain et l'inhumain, le vivant et l'inerte mais aussi porteur d'indices, de directions, d'un régime esthétique des arts où le processus d'hétérogénéité contient une secrète dimension politique.
La vidéo Oiseau en cage montre le seul animal en mouvement devant l'architecture du Muséum, où les bruits de la ville de Tirana viennent se mêler à l'appel à la prière du dernier jour de Ramadan.

La série Nanook à Tirana fait résonner un nom de cinéma (Nanook of the North de Robert Flaherty, 1922) avec l'identité de Fatos Nano, représenté avec une coiffe indienne, ancien premier ministre et président du Parti Socialiste d'Albanie. Sur le mur du Muséum, un graffiti porte l'inscription"NANO IK" (NANO DEHORS) sur lequel un partisan a recouvert la lettre i par la lettre o pour signifier "NANO OK" (NANO OUI).

Avec Taxidermy in process Noëlle Pujol poursuit ici son travail de recherche sur la taxidermie, la figure animale et le politique au Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle de Berlin.
