3. The whole notion of cloning and recombinant gene-splicing vis-à-vis reenactment architecture--the new paradigm for the next millennium? I was also thinking that reenactment architectures are primarily metabolic, yet, like the Renaissance, reenactment is sometimes closely associated with assimilation. Moreover, the pyramids, in that they represent mountains, are reenactment architecture, but here it is extreme architecture as well. So reenactment architecture premeates all the various modes of the imagination, however, the operational type of reenactment architecture now/today is metabolic.

On 60 Minutes last night one saw teenagers of Sierra Leone, Africa that were branded by the rebel forces that abducted them and then forced them to fight the government (and often their own families). A Kansas City plastic surgeon is now their to remove the flesh brands so that the teenagers have a future, otherwise the teenagers are signified enemies.

Despite the great tragedy of the youth of Sierra Leone, branding in Africa is not exactly something to be surprised at. Could it be that body modification, like within so much of African tribal culture, may have indeed had its archaic origins within the same kind of reasoning that the Sierra Leone rebels employed? It wouldn't surprise me at all if many US citizens would gladly accept modified cells (etc.) from Disney.

In case you haven't noticed, identity is a big commodity that many (if not most) US citizens buy into. I am what I wear. I am what I drive. I am the neighborhood I live in. I am the amount of times I visited DisneyWorld. I am my plastic surgeon. I am a branded cell (finally?!?).

All those that have trouble seeing reenactments as they exist in our modern times, please go to the movies. A movie is a movie is a movie? The brain is a mnemonic organ?

There was this nun in grade school that used to take our class downtown on architectural walking tours, and she was really fond of saying, "Look at all the powerful erections!" And then she started showing us "dark nooks and crannies." Then she took us up City Hall Tower, and when the elevator got to the top she said, "Now children, ejaculate yourselves."

Thank you, Sister Immaculata!
