When Dylan met the Beatles – history in a handshake?
Fifty years ago this week the Beatles and Bob Dylan got together to share a few joints – and the world of music was never the same again. Or so the story goes. But does pop culture really work like that?

Regard for the Other: Autothanatography in Rousseau, De Quincey, Baudelaire, and Wilde
E. S. Burt
Fordham Univ Press, 2009 - Literary Criticism - 268 pages
Although much has been written on autobiography, the same cannot be said of autothanatography, the writing of one's death. This study starts from the deconstructive premise that autobiography is aporetic, not or not only a matter of a subject strategizing with language to produce an exemplary identity but a matter also of its responding to an exorbitant call to write its death. The I-dominated representations of particular others and of the privileged other to whom a work is addressed, must therefore be set against an alterity plaguing the I from within or shadowing it from without. This alterity makes itself known in writing as the potential of the text to carry messages that remain secret to the confessing subject. Anticipation of the potential for the confessional text to say what Augustine calls the secret I do not know, the secret of death, engages the autothanatographical subject in a dynamic, inventive, and open-ended process of identification. The subject presented in these texts is not one that has already evolved an interior life that it seeks to reveal to others, but one that speaks to us as still in process. Through its exorbitant response, it gives intimations of an interiority and an ethical existence to come. Baudelaire emerges as a central figure for this understanding of autobiography as autothanatography through his critique of the narcissism of a certain Rousseau, his translation of De Quincey's confessions, with their vertiginously ungrounded subject-in-construction, his artistic practice of self-conscious, thorough-going doubleness, and his service to Wilde as model for an aporetic secrecy. The author discusses the interruption of narrative that must be central to the writing of one's death and addresses the I's dealings with the aporias of such structuring principles as secrecy, Levinasian hospitality, or interiorization as translation. The book makes a strong intervention in the debate over one of the most-read genres of our time
Aporia literally translates to "without a passage" or "no way through". Tracing back to Socratic philosophy, this state of being pathless can surprisingly act as a catalyst for genuine discovery. By dissolving false knowledge and forcing you to acknowledge what you don't know, it opens the door to new inquiries. [1, 2, 3]
To help break out of this paralysis, let's look at the problem together:
- What is the nature of the issue (creative, personal, or professional)?
- Are there any constraints (time, money, or resources) making it feel so blocked?
「困境」（Aporia）字面意思是「沒有出路」或「無路可走」。追溯到蘇格拉底哲學，這種迷惘的狀態出乎意料地可以成為真正發現的催化劑。它能消除錯誤的認知，迫使你承認自己的無知，從而開啟新的探索之門。為了幫助你擺脫這種困境，讓我們一起來審視問題：問題的本質是什麼（創意方面的、個人方面的還是職業方面的）？是否有任何限制（時間、金錢或資源）導致你感覺束手無策？

Joint Costs
In accounting, cost of two or more products that arise from the same manufacturing process, as when silver and gold are taken from the same mine. It is impossible to distinguish the cost of mining each, so costs are generally allocated based on the relative selling price of each product. See also By-Product.
