Music is the substance which renders the true heart of the subject, which is what Hegel called the “Night of the World,” the abyss of radical negativity: music becomes the bearer of the true message beyond words with the shift away from the Enlightenment subject of rational logos

redemption is for me already the collective itself. The zero level of political… you know when Christ says when he appears after his death “Whenever there is love between the two of you, I am there.” That’s redemption. Redemption is collectivity as this emancipatory collectivity

We read Paul in the way of “God is dead”, God is telling us “It’s up to you, I need your help.” So, to put it in very brutal terms, as Alain Badiou once told me in a conversation, the Holy Ghost is the Communist Party, it’s the community of believers

[against the notion] of a deadened, lethargic woman aroused from her numbness by a man‘s call…, Lynch can be said to be a true anti-Weininger, [who was] the paradigm of anti-feminism… For Lynch, the “original fact” is… depression

Man ‘bombards’ her with shocks in order to arouse her attention and thereby pull her out of her numbness - in short, in order to reinstate her in the ‘proper’ order of causality [unable to accept how subjectivity is void of order]
