Discurse

An urban intensification project

Marathon readings in places you would least expect them.


 

People have asked me what is Discurse ?  what is its point?
 

                                  And so I tell them 

                      Discurse  does not have a point... it is blunt.
 

     And to further clarify things

     I allow Friedrich Nietszche to speak for me

Every drive that desires to be satisfied 
expresses its dissatisfaction with the present state of things.

    and

To desire that something should be different is 
to desire that everything should be different.


No more remains to be said, except for the obvious—

                                                                                     Discurse  is,

                                                                               of course,

                                                                 a protest.
