His new piece, <em>Bonjour<\/em>, \u201ctakes place on a faux-outdoor set conceived to be as generically French as possible \u2026 Real-life actors play two characters, a man and a woman who live near one another and are brought together by a chance encounter at a fountain \u2026 The man and the woman say the only word of dialogue, \u2018Bonjour,\u2019 to each other \u2026 After their greeting, they return to their respective homes and go to sleep, and the piece, which will be on repeat during the duration of the exhibition, begins again.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Proust had his madeleine. <a href=\"http:\/\/moreintelligentlife.com\/content\/ideas\/nell-zink\/gourmet-floor\" target=\"_blank\">Nell Zink has her Friskies<\/a>: \u201cIt had been a long while since I\u2019d seen cat food up close. I opened the bag and crouched to pour it into a bowl on the floor. Instantly I was transported back to my earliest youth. The pantry floor in our house in Corona. My face close to the cats\u2019 food dish. My hand in the dish. The sharply disappointing flavor. Greasy dust integral to crumbly, salmon-pink x shapes, crosses faintly reminiscent of a game of jacks \u2026 I knew the brand very, very intimately.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Mind-body dualism: like, is there any bigger drag in all of philosophy? Most analytic philosophers subscribe to some version of physicalism\u2014the theory that the mind is made of the same stuff as the body, and that indeed everything in the universe is made of physical stuff\u2014but dualism remains dismayingly prevalent out among laymen. Where did it come from? \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/self-as-sovereign\/\" target=\"_blank\">The idea of separation between soul and body may have assumed cultural dominance because of the new importance of political rhetoric within the large urbanized city-states that were formed in fifth-century Greece<\/a>. The rhetorician and philosopher Gorgias, who was a generation older than Plato, wrote a virtuosic essay arguing that Helen was not to blame for the Trojan War because she was the victim of rhetorical persuasion. This piece \u2026 is the earliest surviving evidence of a Greek author making a systematic distinction between body and soul. Gorgias argues that the soul may be powerless against the body\u2014an argument developed in awareness that people often act against their own best interests.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ve probably been reading the old, unannotated <em>Bartleby, the Scrivener<\/em>, haven\u2019t you? That\u2019s why everyone\u2019s laughing at you. They\u2019re all reading <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/articles\/arts\/culturebox\/2015\/10\/herman_melville_s_bartleby_the_scrivener_an_interactive_annotated_text.html\" target=\"_blank\">the slick new annotated version<\/a>, which features glosses of criticism by everyone from J. Hillis Miller to Gilles Deleuze\u2014and which airs, on at least one occasion, the theory that Bartelby may be dead for the entire novel, in a kind of <em>Sixth Sense<\/em>\u00ad\u2013ish way.<\/li>\n<li>In which Chen Li talks to an old Chinese blacksmith about his working life: \u201cOne year, a typhoon blew a foreign ship from the inner to the outer bay, slashing it in half and leading to the death of several foreigners. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asymptotejournal.com\/nonfiction\/chen-li-two-lyric-essays\/\" target=\"_blank\">The coffin shop sent for him and had him deliver some thicker iron nails to the shop to fasten the coffins<\/a>. Two weeks later, he returned to collect his due. While he was walking into that dark, long, and narrow shop\u2014Oh my, what the heck\u2014someone climbed out of a coffin!
