Bend Sinister
This morning's New York Times obituaries—
These suggest a look at Solving Nabokov's Lolita Riddle ,
by Joanne Morgan (Sydney: Cosynch Press, 2005).
That book discusses Lolita as a character like Lewis Carroll's Alice.
(The Red Queen and Alice of course correspond to figures in
the first two thumbnails above.)
From the obituary associated with the third thumbnail above:
"Front-page headlines combined concision and dark humor."
The title of this post, Bend Sinister , is not unlike such a headline.
It is the title of a novel by Nabokov (often compared with Orwell's 1984 )
that is discussed in the Lolita Riddle book.

Day Without
Logic
Logic
Symbol of the Dec. 1
“Day Without Art“
This resembles the following symbol,
due to logician Charles Sanders Peirce,
of the logic of binary opposition:
(For futher details on the role
of this symbol in logic, see
Chinese Jar Revisited.)
On this, International Women’s Day,
we might also consider the
widely quoted thoughts on logic of
Harvard professor Barbara Johnson:
Detail:
“Instead of a simple ‘either/or’ structure,
deconstruction attempts to elaborate a discourse
that says neither “either/or”, nor “both/and”
nor even “neither/nor”, while at the same time
not totally abandoning these logics either.”
It may also be of interest on
International Women’s Day
that in the “box style” I Ching
(suggested by a remark of
Jungian analyst
Marie-Louise von Franz)
the symbol
denotes
Hexagram 2,
The Receptive.
