Could say if there is any correlation between capitalist surplus value and the excess enjoyment in fantasy,,,?

A certain excess which was ..kept in check.., perceived as a local perversion, a limited deviation, is elevated in capitalism to the very principle of social lifeIn the ..movement of money begetting more money, ..the thing can survive only as its own excess, constantly exceeding its own ‘normal’ constraints- ZIZEK

John Ashbery, “Summer Dream.”

In 2008, Ashbery returned to collage work, an art form he hadn’t worked with since the 1970s. As Dan Chiasson wrote in issue 188’s portfolio, “Collage is an art of time, like poetry. … These collages are a collaboration across decades: like Ashbery’s poems, they are a way of keeping time an open question.”

Lacey Roop - “For Billy” (WoWPS 2014)

"Crack the glowsticks in your halo. Burn so beautiful that if the sun ever looked at you he’d go blind." Performing during prelims at the 2014 Women of the World Poetry Slam.

After Dylann Roof opened fire on worshippers gathered inside the historically black Emanuel A.M.E Church in Charleston, South Carolina last month, allegedly killing nine congregants and claiming that they “rape our women” and “are taking over our country,” a disturbing image circulated online. A Facebook picture of Roof sitting on top of his car and straddling a license plate celebrating the “Confederate States of America” went viral, stoking an outrage that prompted the South Carolina government to permanently lower the Confederate flag that had long flown over the State House.

For some, however, the debate isn’t over. The Ku Klux Klan successfully petitioned to hold a pro-Confederate flag rally in Charleston last week, resulting in five arrests as white racialist groups clashed with counter-protesters such as the New Black Panther Party. Video footage from the scene shows African Americans angrily tearing up a Confederate flag, while Nazis inveighed against the government’s decision to “delete your history.”

A kind of virtual reality landscape within us where our “big and little selves” – the personality routines which make up the conscious self, and…
