花痴

前几天千儿告诉我, 记得她小的时候大家都管喜欢漂亮女孩的女孩叫”花痴”。这是我听到过的最美的称呼。

“都云作者痴,谁解其中味?”

想来能体会”花痴”二字的真谛的,也应该是上上品,不管他/她是男的还是女的。。。

About Chin-Chin 沁沁

I work with lens-related media. The core of my work examines the human condition through the exploration, inquiry, and deconstruction of notions of body identity, desire, eroticism and/or sexuality. I also write occasional articles on images for a couple of venues (I should find the time to do it more). Reflecting on images and provoking unusual connections are part of what makes my pulse quicken. I live in Paris the City of Lights since the last millennium. I should mention that I'm Chinese by birth and American by citizenship, with a few other residencies on other continents thrown in between. Being a diasporic "Chinese-American” with a migratory past has given me a unique vantage point to gain postmodern insight, to break away from metanarratives where "validity" and "legitimacies" reside. I'd like to quote French philosopher and theorist Jean-François Lyotard who states in The Postmodern Condition: "Postmodern knowledge is not simply a tool of the authorities; it refines our sensitivity to differences and reinforces our ability to tolerate the incommensurable."

    Romantic thoughts, but… Maybe that’s the archaic meaning, but in today’s terms 花痴 means “nymphomaniac” or “slut.”

    Ha, clearly what needs redefining is “nymphomaniac.”

    The idea of “slut’ is even more irrelevant in this context, where all we are doing is 意淫。Slut is usually applied to women who put out “too much” to men, by whose definition I’ve never been able to comprehend..
