16 Reconsidering the Workshop(there are so many). Temporally, that is historically, it does not exist;topographically, it is spreading; economically, it is what has no exchangevalue; socially, it is what evades the principle of exclusion; philosophically,it is the question of: Can one angel illuminate another (Is it onekind of religion if there is any kind of disciplined kneeling)?; sexually,it, the female orgasm, is multiclimactic, it, the location, is never resting;psychologically, it is the post-Freudian, post-Lacanian anti-oral/anal/genital drive to furnish a room as well; institutionally, it has paddedwalls; epistemologically. but this could be extensively debated, it is: Icould agree with this couch you said and I could not agree with thiscouch and I could agree with this not-couch you said and I could agreewith this couch not-you said; academically it is possible, if it can existat all, it is possible if the workshop does not have padded walls (thiscould be dangerous!), it could not have walls at all, if there is a greatdeal of NOISE, NOISE of all types critical, ideological, academic, potsand pans clattering against each other (I could do without the sororitygirls down the hall), I mean INTENSE NOISE, discursive noise thatis what hears the Vacant Room in between, the space in which I canspeak or write at all.To end: let's have lunch in some quiet restaurant.Sincerely,Jan
