Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In our Politically Correct times, it is fashionable to discern homosexuality in the musical texture of some classic composers and thus redeem them - there are, for example, totally unconvincing and ridiculous readings of Schubert: he must have been gay, because his music is non-aggressive/penetrative/phallic, full of soft passages... In the case of Eugene Onegin, however, we stand on a much more firm ground. In the Fall of 1876 Tchaikovsky informed his closest family members of his intention to marry a typical hysterical passage à l acte, an act of ethical betrayal, of compromising one s desire, i.e., a desperate endeavor to thwart his homosexuality. Slavoj Zizek, Eugene Onegin, a Russian Gay Gentleman.
Political power in the territory where the subject-body exists, raises, be it on the small scale, the question decisive in the entire history of the Soviet Union and Popular China of the links between the State and the Communist Party. The form Two of the point is here particularly clear: either one concentrates the totality of the capacity of decision in the hands of the directors of the Party, or one endows the popular power with a militant reality, under the guise, Mao advocates, of councils of delegates of the workers, of the peasants and of the soldiers . Alain Badiou, The Political Variant of the Subject-of-Truth.
