A Cyprian's Supper

This whole is not a seamless coneness

We left off yesterday talking about what Dasein (In-der-Welt-sein) means à la Heidegger and recommending Kolesnikov’s article that compares the ongoing insurrection in Belarus to Carnival (Karneval) - as interpolated by philosopher of language Mikhail Bakhtin.

The folk tradition of the carnival is preserved: according to custom, girls bring pumpkins as a sign that they do not want to marry a disloyal one. The disliked one is Lukashenko or a very specific security official standing like an idol without a face. "Sasha, you are our ex!" “You can't be cute by force!” “Sasha, we need to leave. It's about you." In general, the Belarusian protest has a woman's face: this is exactly what Lukashenko was moved by during his meeting with Putin in Sochi, even though he earlier used iron cages and a Kalashnikov rifle without a cartridge to protect himself against women, Kolesnikov wrote.
