Editor’s Note:
In keeping with my policy of regifting, I am reprinting this oldie, because the points it makes are still valid. Merry Christmas!
It was about twenty years ago when I first noticed that the greeting “Merry Christmas” was being replaced by the bland, neutral “Season’s Greetings” and “Happy Holidays.”

1. Introduction
I learned about Opfergang from an unlikely source: a documentary on the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek. In one segment he is shown browsing in Kim’s Video in Manhattan (at its old location on St. Mark’s Place). As he does throughout the documentary, Žižek engages in a kind of frantic monologue, and at one point he names his three favorite films: King Vidor’s The Fountainhead (this really surprised me), Sergei Eisenstein’s Ivan the Terrible, and Veit Harlan’s Opfergang.

Who are the one percent of super rich getting fabulously wealthy by dominating the American economy? If you watch media portrayals in television and movies you might think they’re arrogant WASPs, white Anglo-Saxon Protestants. Some rich folks like Bill Gates and the late Steve Jobs are, but they’re the last of an old breed of entrepreneur inventors, folks like Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, who once made themselves and their country very rich by making products the world wanted.
They’re a dying breed though. (more…)

Of nasty notes producing a thick hum
Of wretchedness and bile. We like that song.
We nurse old wounds (more…) -

Tikkun Olam*
(Ekaterinburg, Russia, 17 July 1918)
His mouth agape, as though still asking questions,
the Tsar lies at the end of his long reign.
(Blue lips almost struggle to explain,
caught in the halfway realm of last expressions.) (more…) -

L’appel aux dieux:
la phénoménologie de la presence divine1. Introduction
Le problème avec nos païens occidentaux modernes, c’est qu’ils ne croient pas vraiment en leurs dieux, ils croient seulement croire en eux.
Mes ancêtres croyaient, mais je ne sais pas de quelle manière ils croyaient. Je confesse que je ne sais pas à quoi cela ressemble de vivre dans un monde où il y a des dieux. (more…)
