ēterā: The Smiths - Asleep
Un zārkā es gulēšu ar dabiski sārtām lūpām, krunkainu seju, nelielu dubultzodu, jo būšu kundze ar elegantu korpulenci, un smaidu sejā, ņemot līdzi visus svu bijušo mīļāko mazos un lielos noslēpumus. Un būtu, protams, ļoti skaisti, ja uz manām bērēm bez radiem atnāktu vēl daži dzīvi palikušie paši uzticīgākie un ilglaicīgākie no viņiem - skaitā droši vien ne vairāk kā divi, trīs - un uz kapvietas, kur pa virsu tiks uzstādīts bērzs, noliks puķes, manu vārdu skaļi vairs nekad neminot. Bērēs, protams, skanēs Nick Cave un īpaši šim notikumam par godu iepriekš sastādīta playliste.
"Asleep" for real ir viena no skumjākajām dziesmām, kāda sacerēta. Aber skaisti.

Individual, desymbolized death
Nov. 25., 2013 | 12:06 am
"Observing the fear of ageing that characterizes our era, sociologist Christopher Lasch argues that ‘the fear of ageing does not stem from a “cult of youth”, but rather from a "cult of the ego" (Lasch, 2000 [1979]: 269). In pursuing his analysis, this author points out that the systematic devaluation of older people and the biomedical devices aimed at combating ageing are in keeping with individuals’ decreasing solidarity with older generations. In fact, he says, the desire expressed by certain scientists to push back – even overcome – the limits of death as much as possible corresponds with the fantasy of narcissistic individuals who are unable to face the limitations of the human condition (Lasch, 2000 [1979]: 301)
In this sense, regenerative medicine plays a role in the dual effort to deconstruct and desymbolize death. Death not only becomes symbolically insignificant but also loses its social aspect, being reduced to a strictly individual phenomenon against which each person must fight on his own."
