Ce que cherche Akan



Pour savoir comment Akan arrive à la ville Exil, regardez les battements de son corps, son allure saccadée.

Affaiblie, elle retrouve l’élan anorexique de sa vie, tout son impossible combat pour atteindre la Figure A.

Marcher pour elle, c’est se délivrer du corps, s’oublier dans les pas, les ondulations du bassin, les notes brèves des petits talons frôlant le trottoir.

Avancer lui donne l’illusion d’exister pour un peu.


“L’apparence d’une Figure A.” copyright Alice ODILON 2010


Il semble évident que pour rencontrer la Figure A, cette terrible vérité,

Akan doit aller vers quelque chose, s’élancer vers autre chose.

Des parcours pour atteindre la ville, Akan en a fait des milliers, attendant le pire à chaque tournant de rue, la fulgurance d’une silhouette A, ou l’ennui assommant de ne rencontrer que la neutralité des gens invisibles.

Akan porte une robe de fille de 14 ans parfaitement ajustée.

Taille 34, c’est la taille, jamais plus.

Il faudrait un échange entre Akan et quelqu’un, de bien ou de second plan, mais un contact serait la première chose indispensable pour briser la glace de ce couloir de

solitude.

Soudain Akan ressent la présence d’une femme à ses côtés, une personne d’un certain âge, maigre aux bras veinés, et tortueuse comme la vigne noire des vieux coteaux.

- Bonjour, dit la femme, vous semblez hésiter à continuer sur cette rue, mais vous êtes sur la bonne, si je le devine, c’est bien la direction du Centre;

là où la foule se multiplie.

- C’est que je ne suis pas sûre de vouloir me perdre au milieu de ces gens.

Je cherche quelqu’un, je ne suis pas vraiment sûre de la trouver là-bas.

- Ah oui, non mais cela dépend du genre de personne que vous recherchez, ma Demoiselle.

- C’est une femme, je ne sais pas son âge, elle est très fière et s’est enfuie, je ne sais pas si elle est douce, encore moins son nom.

Je l’appèle “A-Figure” pour être plus simple, et rapporter les éléments qui la concernent, bien que j’en ai très peu réunis jusqu’à aujourd’hui.

Cela dure déjà depuis une trentaine d’année, cette recherche; j’ai écrit dans de nombreux établissements spécialisés, j’ai passé des annonces dans des journaux parisiens, mais je n’ai fait que perdre pratiquement mon temps et ma force.

- 30 ans? mais vous n’en avez que 20 et des poussières, comment pouvez-vous espérer que je vous crois?

- C’est pourtant ce que je pense avoir fait: chercher pendant des années cette Figure impossible, disposant de la lame; la forme annulant l’âge des humains, leurs plans, leurs calculs et leur idée du sexe et du bonheur.

- Cette créature là, vous la trouverez, mais pas tout de suite, ou peut-être dans quelques jours.

Je devine un peu qui elle est; le problème c’est que les gens en parlent sans savoir, la disent terriblement dangereuse, et intouchable.

“Il faut la craindre.” disent-ils ne pas penser qu’elle est viable, sa minceur est impossible, ses bras sont si fins, comment le sang pourrait-il y circuler? et la chair, les muscles et toutes ces choses que l’on attend de la chair?

Ce qui est convenu d’attendre et de prendre de cette personne.

Non, définitivement, les gens ne vous en diront rien, ou alors vous lanceront des airs de dégôut, de peur.

La vie pour eux ce sont les besoins d’abord avant toute initiation au goût de vivre.

- Je crois entrevoir votre point de vue, Madame, cependant je suis déterminée à lui parler et la photographier.

C’est très important pour moi, vous comprenez, c’est ma raison d’être ici, je ne vois pas d’autre raison, le reste m’échappe, il n’y a rien, rien d’autre.

J’en suis d’ailleurs bien confuse, car j’aurais pensé que la vie m’aurait donnée de nombreuses hypothèses à élucider.

Mais en fait ce que je cherche bêtement c’est de voir l’Icône A-Figure, cette forme vivante du compromis Corporel.

Le Self-Model, la Modèle-Théorie, celle par qui je trouverai le bon miroir.

- Dans cette quête là, ma petite, il vous faudra observer, et vous taire.

Les mots ne viendront qu’après, il faudra vous taire, presque toujours.

Et la femme sèche au corps grisé d’alcool, et de sang noir, traversa la rue et lui dit au revoir du regard.

Un regard turquoise et vert, comme le verre des bouteilles de vin.


Alice ODILON. 26th of june 2010.


To know how Akan arrives in the “Banishment City”, look at her heavy breathing,

her jerky gait.

Weakened, she gets the anorexic impulse of her life, all of her impossible struggle

to attain the A-Figure.

For her, walking is to get rid of her body, to forget herself in the rhythm of her steps,

the movement of her hips, the click-clack  of her little heels brushing the sidewalk.

To advance gives her the illusion of existing for a short while.


It seems obvious that to meet the A-Figure, this terrible truth,

Akan needs to move towards some goal,

to throw herself towards something else.

Akan has taken thousands of different routes to reach the town,

anticipating the worst at every corner, to see a fleeting glimpse of a A-silhouette,

or to be incredibly bored by only meeting the neutrality of invisible people.

Akan is wearing a size 6 dress perfectly adjusted. Size 34, this is the size,

never more.

She needs to have a contact with someone, whatever their circumstances,

but a contact is the first essential step to breaking the ice of this long solitary

corridor of loneliness.

Suddenly the young girl feels the presence of a woman beside her, an older person,

thin with the veins of her arms showing twisted like an old vine on the slopes.

- Good morning, says the woman, you appear to be hesitating about continuing

on this road, but it is the right direction, yes I guessed, it’s the way to

the Shopping Centre; where there are crowds.

- It’s just that I’m not sure that I want to get lost in all those people.

I’m looking for someone and I’m not really certain that I’ll find her there.

- Ah yes, but then that depends upon the person you’re looking for.

- It’s a woman, I don’t know her age, she’s proud and absent, she has rejected

rescue and she’s runaway.

I don’t know if she is friendly or not, I don’t even know her name.

I simply call her “A-Figure”, and add certain facts concerning her,

although I haven’t got that many so far. This search has been going on for

around 30 years; I’ve written to numerous specialist establishments,

I’ve advertised in Parisian newspapers, but I have only wasted my time and my energy.

- 30 years old? You look barely older than 20, how can you expect me or

even hope that I’ll believe you?

- Nevertheless it’s what I believe I’ve done: spent years looking

for this impossible Figure, with an internal strength, a shape cancelling out

human age, plans, calculations and also their idea of sex and happiness.

- This creature that you describe you’ll find her, not immediately,

but perhaps in several days.

I can imagine her but the problem is that people talk of her in their

ignorance as though she is terribly dangerous and untouchable.

“You must be afraid of her” they say, thinking that she’s condemned

being so thin, her arms being like match-sticks, how can her blood circulate?

And her flesh, muscles and everything else that one expects of flesh?

No, really, people won’t tell you anything or will look at you with

disgust or fear.

Life for them is their bodily need before any initiation into the pleasures of living.

- I think I see your point of view, Madame, however I am determined to talk

to her and photograph her. It’s very important for me, you understand,

it’s my reason for being here, I don’t see any other reason, all the rest escapes me,

there is nothing, nothing else.

In any event I am totally confused as I would have thought that life would

have given me other ideas to elucidate.

However in fact all that I want to do is see this iconic A-Figure,

this form living in a bodily compromise.

The Self-Model, the Theoretical-Model through which I’ll find the right reflection.

- To realise your quest, my dear, you will have to observe and keep your silence.

The words will come afterwards, you need to be nearly always silent.

On that the dry little woman, with her drunk body and dark blood,

crossed the road and by a glance said good bye. A turquoise and green glance,

like the glass of wine bottles.

Autism of the Serb population


Since December 2009 Serbia is on the row for being potential membership within European Union.

But Serbia is not in position where they could be expected to enter the European Union.

There are a number of reasons why this is the case, and in my opinion, the fact that Serbia is the Bosnian Muslim genocide perpetrator, makes this membership, impossible.


Remember the facts:

During the 2nd World War, the first experiments in mass executions of camp inmates by poison gas were carried out in Serbia. Serbia was the first country to proudly declare itself “Judenfrei” (“cleansed” of Jews).


“Nazi-massgrave” copyright Alice ODILON 2010

{From 1992-1995 Serbs from heavily militarized villages around Srebrenica had forced approximately 40,000 Bosnian Muslim refugees to live in the Srebrenica ghetto with little or no means of survival.

Furthermore, Serbs around Srebrenica had terrorized Srebrenica population by constantly attacking neighbouring Bosnian Muslim villages.

In July 1995 the Bosnian Serb army staged a brutal takeover of Srebrenica and its surrounding area, where they proceeded to perpetrate genocide.

Bosnian Serb soldiers separated Bosniak families, forcibly expelled 25,000-30,000 Bosniaks, and summarily executed at least 8,372 Bosnian Muslims – boys, men, and elderly.} cf Srebrenica genocide blog.


“Mass execution in July 1995 – Srebrenica massacre”. Copyright Alice ODILON 2010


conclusion:

Serbia is not a democracy with proper respect of Human Rights and is not capable of adopting a low profile concerning the atrocities Serbs commited against Bosniac civilians.

Serbia denies Bosniac genocide and Nazi Roots are deeply planted in this country.

{If Serbia wants to be part of civilized world, then it needs to decontaminate itself from fascistic hatred and stop spreading bold faced lies and propaganda about their perceived victimhood.

A nation that lives of mythological history, propagation of lies, constant creation of feelings of victimhood, and Srebrenica genocide denial is not ready to be partner for peace in the region.

Serbian Society hasn’t decontaminated itself from fascism, yet.

Serbians nationalists celebrate war criminals as heroes, while Srebrenica Genocide is increasingly being awarded status of a big proud ‘military victory’ over the “Turks” (derogatory name for Bosniacs Muslims)}.

cf Srebrenica genocide blog.

Mladic has not been arrested and is potentially still in Belgrade.

As for the Serb population, it has tended not to worry about killing and several authors have spoken of “autism” on its part.

For this descent into mass murder, distribution of drugs or alcohol is often mentioned.


{“The perpetrators seem terribly normal”. We talked about the banality of evil.}

{“But as Timothy Snyder explains: ‘Auschwitz, generally taken to be an adequate or even a final symbol of the evil of mass killing, is in fact only the beginning of knowledge’.

one meaning of Snyder’s words is that Muslims should not be attacked for identifying with the Jewish tragedy,for dramatising their current experience of demonisation in Europe by referring to themselves as the “new Jews”.

In the light of Europe’s unfinished business, as symbolised by the Karadzic trial, this could help to generate a new knowledge and understanding, based on sharing histories, to combat anti-Muslim racism and would not devalue the Jewish experience of persecution one jot”}.

Now I’m asking myself one question: do I want to be still European citizen?

Anorexia: Anomaly in the Assembly Line

A Doll Model is a representation of one reality. (idealistic representation).

(A generic model or pattern from which other objects are based or derived).

(A simplified representation – usually mathematical - used to explain the workings of a real world system or event.)

In 99% of the cases the structure of the Doll Model conforms to normal profile of usually accepted Dolls.




Samples of normal, usually acceptables Dolls. Copyright Corolle.com


These standard Dolls represent idealistic characters with perfect ability to manage a successfull life.

They seem absolutely absent and appear to feel nothing like stone.

The size of their eyes is small.

You can notice they have small little impassive eyes and a rather severe closed mouth.

Often they haves a permanent blind smile.

They’re in any case happy and never disturbed by any pain or danger.

Their appearence tells us about their lifestyle, their membership of a specific social class, their credit, their undeniable power.

This  structural design of a complex system represents a small-scale model of the Human Body.

(A miniature representation of a physical human body).

These Dolls are a certified copy and can be cloned to infinity.

These “standard” Dolls within the framework of a specific environment reproduce an “Ecosystem”.

It can be displayed by diagrams, photos, reproductions of templates, computering simulations.

Some scientists have developed models in order to represent the structure, the function and interaction of many biological and non-biological components of the conformed Doll.

However every perfect assembly line always produces defective produced items and these are put to one side in order to serve as experimental specimens.

In human society the discarded specimen (runaways, anorexics, the mentally disabled, the disabled, streetwalkers, drug addicts, lost persons) are considered as the same level and of zero value.

And then serial killers or scientists experiment their hate, or their thirst for knowledge about their ability to erase such discarded samples copies.

Usually these defective Dolls are used as discarded Dolls, failed samples, to predict the artificial or natural changes arising in a part of a Doll which influences the rest of  the environment.

These defective individuals have  skeleton, limbs, the same organisation as the conformed models, but unfortunately they cannot faithfully reproduce the complex biological reality of a normal Doll’s ecosystem

(we will study this phenomenon in a next post.

They present an anomaly of shape; they’re extremely thin and frail and have huge sad eyes as we cannot flee from their impact.

Suzuna.



“Ganga” from Dollstown. This little one gets incredible huge eyes.



“Sample of discarded doll in reference of human being Diane Rock”. copyright Alice Odilon.2008. No clone is free.


“They are refered to “anorexic Dolls.”

They can however serve as tools in lab to help the administrators of Dolls factories to take decision about future conception of Doll, in order to avoid again same anorexic tare.

On account of this  irreparable failure, they’ve got a great ability to sensorial  and physical impregnation, and then allow to simulate alternatives scenarios such as reductions of different percentage of nutritive elements.

The conformed Dolls and even the anorexic Dolls, as all vertebral bodies can be compared to a biotope, a biological environment.

They’re made up of a skeleton, a set of organs, and a communication system between them.

The Anorexic Doll displays the same structural base with an outstanding ineligible offside working due to bugs in the manufacture.

Anyway the Doll is a life environment for many little bacteries.

On the skin, in the digestive system, in the hair, many bacteries live together.(biocenose).

We speak about “homeostasy”:

  • The conservation of temperature.
  • The conservation of acidity (pH) in the digestive tract.
  • The conservation of water content (sudation, breathing, digestion et excrétion).

All these equilibrium are maintained by environmental factors, hormons, condition of the complex Doll’s organism.

Like every ecosystem the Doll is conceived, born, grows up, becomes mature and then declines, getting older.


the environment of the Doll.

We can speak about different scales about the understanding of environment.

The Doll as an organism is surrounded and protected by an individual envelop against germs attacks, a mecanical and chimical protection: the skin.

The Doll becomes differentiated and protected by clothes.

The immediate space, private and personnal area ( for example the “childy” adult Doll looks for physical contact, whereas the “adulty” child Doll stands out its distance with the other Dolls.

(This distance is variable according to the development of the Doll).

The Doll enlarges or decreases its own area depending on its well beeing or its level of stress, its needs and maturity.
