PARERGA

You come to find the parenthetical digressions and side-tracks are often the most significant stories.


The Incidentals, [ the asides, from the main tasks in the legend[s] of the challenges of Hercules], might include:

The attack of the giant crab while Herakles was fighting the Hydra;


The accidental deaths of the Centaurs, Kheiron (Chiron) and Pholos;



Saving the Trojan princess, Hesione, from the skull-faced ketos, i.e. sea-monster;




The fight with the sea god, Nereus;




The fight with the Giant, Antaios;


Killing the Egyptian king, Busiris;




Freeing Prometheus from his bonds; and



Supporting the heavens for Prometheus’ brother, Atlas.

PARERGA: Notes in the Margins.

the parergon is developed as adornment, embellishment, ornamentation (Zierathen) of the main ergon,(work).

" the parergon participates in the act of reflective thought, []of reflective faith, through [] seemingly endless segmentation of the commentary "

" parerga denote a supplemental and instructional gesture that accompanies a main text or narrative, but does so in a resolutely critical manner."

[from Latin, from Greek, from para-1 + ergon work]


SIDE WORK, SIDE JOB :Ornamental Digression

Parerga are not simply notes; they should be thought of as the extremities of a body,

without which the [main] text is truncated.

Parerga are notations to the text which make the text show its complexities; they bring into the main narrative the realities of multiple positions, make interventions that show there is no [apparent stasis] stability in []history, that the story itself constantly shifts [is not pinned down nor nailed], that any attempt to produce a cohesive narration, an Ur-text of the history []will draw voices from the margins [].

Parerga are not commentaries.

They do not interrogate a stable main text or invite further commentary.

[They are their own story.]Rather,

They are, [] a Derrida - “lean on,” [ that is a space ] where [there is ] the chance to hold onto something: an idea, an explanation, a question, an interrogation, a dissent.

[So ironically they do represent stability - but not the orthodox [main] vein of stability.]

They are metatext [which] seeks to unseat [] certainties which might exist in the main text, [ to unseat] any convictions that might have developed in the narrative [].

"Parerga" offer a means to engage with the main text's “imponderabilia of actual life”;

AG Eric Holder attempts to explain a few of the circumstances under which your government might kill you:

“Given the nature of how terrorists act and where they tend to hide, it may not always be feasible to capture a United States citizen terrorist who presents an imminent threat of violent attack,” Mr. Holder said in a speech at Northwestern University’s law school. “In that case, our government has the clear authority to defend the United States with lethal force…”

“Some have argued that the president is required to get permission from a federal court before taking action against a United States citizen who is a senior operational leader of Al Qaeda or associated forces,” Mr. Holder said. “This is simply not accurate. ‘Due process’ and ‘judicial process’ are not one and the same, particularly when it comes to national security. The Constitution guarantees due process, not judicial process.”

Well, that’s reassuring. They used “due process“, just like the Constitution called for, and without having to explain themselves to some tedious jurist.

‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

‘The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.’
