About my book destructions

----under constructuin

from wikipedia on book burning

"Book burning, biblioclasm or libricide is the practice of destroying, often ceremoniously, books or other written material and media. In modern times, other forms of media, such as phonograph records, video tapes, and CDs have also been ceremoniously burned, torched, or shredded. The practice, usually carried out in public, is generally motivated by moral, religious, or political objections to the material.

Some particular cases of book burning are long and traumatically remembered - because the books destroyed were irreplaceable and their loss constituted a severe damage to cultural heritage, and/or because this instance of book burning has become emblematic of a harsh and oppressive regime. Such were the destruction of the Library of Alexandria, the obliteration of the Library of Baghdad, the burning of books and burying of scholars under China's Qin Dynasty, the destruction of Aztec codices by Spanish conquistadors and priests, and the Nazi book burnings of Jewish literature.

Although one motivation for book burning may be censorship, it is in most cases an act of displaying severe displeasure, hatred, or contempt for the book's contents or author, or to attract attention for the outrage perceived by those who highly appreciate the book and its content. For example, the burning of Beatles records after a remark by John Lennon concerning Jesus Christ, the destruction of the Sarajevo National Library, and the 2010 Qur'an-burning controversy."

The common saying "When they start burning books, aftewards they will start burning people," can - as my friend Barry Schwabsky states correctly - be modified to "When they start kicking books, afterwards they will start kicking people." Funny enought , he continues, "On the other hand if you would kick a Kindle I'm sure it would be alright with me."

Why is Barry so right when he writes (I'm not so sure about the Kindle) this and why doesn't he have to fear that I will go on and kick people?

For over a decade I have engaged in book destructions.

die bucherstoerungen sind immer beides
einmal erinnerung an brutaler zeiten. .als in diesem sinne reenactments.. fuer memorative zwecke... also nciht 'nochmals dasselbe' sondern ein nein dagegen
und sie sind eine besondere art.. einem author zu gedenken. ihm respekt zu zahlen..
meistens sind das autoren, die ich andersweite sehr schaetze.. also freud, lenin (als autor) engels. .etc
dh.. ihc habe ein veraheltnis mit ihnen das darauf hinweist. dass ich kein faschist bin
aber das wird auf derweb site diskutiert.. ob ihc ein faschist sei.. usw.. wer ich sei. die spekulieren auf youtube.. das kannst du sehen bei lenin

zuletzt

oft gibt es ein inhaltlicher zusammenhang zu der zerstoerung und dem sujet des buches
also etwa sin handke.. oder in engels jetzt.. die burtaliaet. die misere die slums
etc
die arbeitskoinditionen
