RAMMELLZEE´S MESSAGE
C:copyright by:A.Thiel(1997,1999)
enlarged:1999/2000
...with its verbosity is a persiflage mirroring the
academic language and its verbal absurdity,thus an"outsider"here
is looking at culture that permits the exclusion of
whole cohorts form cultural process via stacking them into slums
and ghettos,housing projects.
Via that article a WASP (white Anglo-Saxon Protestant)
could see and feel how it feels when youre being confronted
with messages,facts and informations clad into a language
you dont understand(bad schooling,education)because the populace
you belong to(race,skin colour,creed etc.)isnt considered
worth equal education.....and in the end:chances,opportunities.
IF you arent shocked away by the nonsense
of this treatise you will find some keen mind that is explaining
to you some specifics related to writing(=graffiti).
RAMMELLZEE is one of the very early and few persons that had a deep
understanding of the intricacies of education and writing(letters,ABC
etc.)in special and how this very specific cultural tool also could
be used to keep out-by ESTRANGING the writing-most of populace IF
you only knew how.......
So in a way you have to work through his article and
some others of his publications to come to some deeper understanding
of his ICONOCLAST PANZERISM and how you could transform writing
that it almost may be used as a weapon excluding person
that havent been related to the very specific SUB-CULTURE(writing)here
in question.
And-in a way-he also tells us about the(automatic)reactions of mayority
of persons being confronted with writing(=graffiti)they dont
know nor understand(and via the estranged forms being afraid of
so their motivation to understand even going down....)bringing about
some process of repulsion that cannot be reflected and further is
wedging the cohorts apart.
FEAR,and people become afraid when meeting unknown things,is the
psychological intoxicant that perfectly inhibits learning processes
we now know quite exactly.
He clearly is able to see how much writing could be used as a tool
to keep outsiders at bay and even these possibilities
could be enlarged.
To become able to understand it needs some motivated
mind being able to ask questions and this also means you have to
ask persons.In case of the origins of writing(New York,Los Angeles)so
you had to ask people living in poor quarters and this meant the
use of communication.So you had to visit these persons-writers-to
become able to directly relate to them and only if trust was established
you may have become initiatedand come to some deeper,INSIDE
understanding of matters here in question.
