YKCOWREBBAJ : An absurd poem ?

Cogito escritum — 2026-05-23T22:04:23Z

[(Abstract :
In Through the Looking-Glass, Alice discovers the famous poem, Jabberwocky. Confronted with this mysterious lexicon, our immediate reaction is to reject what seems absurd. Like Alice, we desperately search for meaning through the "unreasonable silence of the world". This is what the philosopher Albert Camus called the absurd.
However, this article argues that Jabberwocky is a therapeutic learning process that cures us of the existential insecurity it provokes. Based on (…)

Ton Christ est Juif

Shakespeare : On music

Cogito escritum — 2026-05-11T12:27:01Z

" The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils,
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus :
Let no such man be trusted... Mark the music. " [1]
Shakespeare
« L'homme qui n'a en lui-même aucune musique,
et qui n'est pas ému par le doux accord des sons,
est propre aux trahisons, aux perfidies, aux rapines ;
les mouvements de son âme sont mornes comme la (…)

Deep-porn : Une nouvelle violence faite aux femmes ? ♀️

Cogito escritum — 2026-05-04T21:16:54Z

[(Abstract :
Combien de femmes sont victimes de deep-porn aujourd'hui ? La réponse est brève : beaucoup trop. En un clic, il est désormais possible de dénuder le corps de n'importe quelle femme sans son consentement. Pourtant, cette violence ne constitue pas une agression sexuelle aux yeux de la justice. La loi française reconnaît le caractère diffamatoire du deep-porn, qui porte atteinte à la réputation. Cependant, elle refuse encore de qualifier cet acte de violence sexuelle portant (…)

Deep-porn : A New Form of Violence Against Women ? ♀️

Cogito escritum — 2026-05-04T21:15:07Z

[(Abstract :
How many women are victims of deep-porn today ? The answer is brief : far too many. In a single click, it is now possible to strip any woman's body without her consent. Yet, this violence does not constitute sexual assault in the eyes of the law. French law recognizes the defamatory nature of deep-porn as an attack on reputation. However, it still refuses to qualify this act as sexual violence against bodily integrity. To claim that deep-porn is mere defamation is akin to (…)

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Cogito escritum — 2026-04-21T14:22:08Z

– « Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here ?
– That depends a good deal on where you want to get to, said the Cat.
– I don't much care where–-said Alice.
–Then it doesn't matter which way you go, said the Cat.
– so long as I get somewhere, Alice added as an explanation.
– Oh, you're sure to do that, said the Cat, if only you walk long enough. »
Lewis Carroll – « Voudriez-vous me dire, s'il vous plaît, quel chemin je dois prendre pour m'en aller d'ici ?

Lewis Carroll : Jabberwocky

Cogito escritum — 2026-04-06T08:15:47Z

Jabberwocky
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe ; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son ! The jaws that bite, the clawsthat catch ! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch !”
He took his vorpal sword in hand : Long time the manxome foe he sought— So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came (…)

Elizabeth Bishop : El armardillo

Cogito escritum — 2026-03-30T13:31:42Z

The Armadillo
« Last night another big one fell. It splattered like an egg offire against the cliffbehind the house. The flame ran down. We saw the pair
of owls who nest thereflying up and up, their whirling black-and-white stained bright pink underneath, until they shrieked up out of sight.
The ancient owls' nest must have burned. Hastily, all alone, a glistening armadillo left the scene, rose-flecked, head down, tail down,
and then a baby rabbitjumped out, short-eared, to (…)

Elizabeth Bishop : L'art de perdre

Cogito escritum — 2026-03-23T19:00:38Z

L'art de perdre :
Dans l'art de perdre il n'est pas dur de passer maître, tant de choses semblent si pleines d'envie d'être perdues que leur perte n'est pas un désastre.
Perds chaque jour quelque chose. L'affolement de perdre tes clés, accepte-le, et l'heure gâchée qui suit. Dans l'art de perdre il n'est pas dur de passer maître.
Puis entraîne-toi, va plus vite, il faut étendre tes pertes : aux endroits, aux noms, au lieu où tu fis le projet d'aller. Rien là qui soit un désastre. (…)

Elizabeth Bishop : One Art

Cogito escritum — 2026-03-23T19:00:34Z

One Art :
The art of losing isn't hard to master ; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster. Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster : places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother's watch. And look ! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses (…)
