책을 읽다... 헛소리 그리고 헛생각

Jean Baudrillard의 【 Seduction 】이란 책을 읽다가...

유혹(Seduction) ; 그것은 암시의 전략. 한번 들어가면 헤어나올 수 없는 것… 그리고 제의적 교환(Ritual exchange)을 필요로 한다. - Jean Baudrillard

라는 대목에서 Eagles의 『Hotel California』 中 “You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave” 라는 구절이 떠올랐다.

Welcome to the Hotel California, Such a lovely place, Such a lovely face

Livin' it up at the Hotel California, What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

…..

And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast.

They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was running for the door.

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

"Re-lax" said the night man. “We are programed to receive.

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"

- 『Hotel California』, Eagles

떠나고 싶을 때 언제든지 떠날 자유, 그러나 결코 벗어날 수 없는 운명, 속박.

그 치명적 유혹 vs. 제의적 희생, 교환
