RE: BwO

the term originates in artaud's 'to have done with the judgement of god' so
perhaps the religious link is through that route. there was a curious essay
fairly recently in Radical Philosophy that read Deleuze as redemptionist
(with its religious connotations intact if i remember) and there may be
other suggestions in that piece.

Hi Judith,

I can't elaborate much - the library's closed and that's where the bk is.
But there isn't much to add really.
Upon resurrection your soul takes on the body you had in life but it will
be a 'body without organs' - this is the phrase used in Claude
Tresmontant's study of St.Paul (he also wrote a classic account of
judeo-christian metaphysics).
God, give me a BwO.......

It just struck me as remarkable that this is a technical term in
Christianity. A kind of 'dematerialized' body I suppose.
