Do not however say nom de Dieu. "But it was the machine in them which was dreaming of love: the kind of attention demanded by their work allowed them neither distraction (thinking of something else) nor total mental application (thinking would slow down their movements). The machine demands and creates in the worker an inverted semi- automatism which complements it: an explosive mixture of unconsciousness and vigilance. The mind is absorbed but not used; it is concentrated in _lateral_ supervision; and the body functions 'mechanically' while yet remaining _under surveil- lance._" - p. 233 "It would be true to say - and I said it above - that the semi- automatic machine dreams through the women workers, lost in some daydream and moving in a rhythm _external to them_ - which is everyone's work itself _as other._" - p. 325 Quotes found in, Sartre's Critique of Dialectical Reason, trans.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) :
Ex- \Ex-\ A prefix from the latin preposition, ex, akin to Gr. 'ex or 'ek signifying out of, out, proceeding from. Hence, in composition, it signifies out of, as, in exhale, exclude; off, from, or out. as in exscind; beyond, as, in excess, exceed, excel; and sometimes has a privative sense of without, as in exalbuminuos, exsanguinous. In some words, it intensifies the meaning; in others, it has little affect on the signification. It becomes ef- before f, as in effuse. The form e- occurs instead of ex- before b, d, g, l, m, n, r, and v, as in ebullient, emanate, enormous, etc. In words from the French it often appears as es-, sometimes as s- or [82]-; as, escape, scape, [82]lite. Ex-, prefixed to names implying office, station, condition, denotes that the person formerly held the office, or is out of the office or condition now; as, ex-president, ex-governor, ex-mayor, ex-convict. The Greek form 'ex becomes ex in English, as in exarch; 'ek becomes ec, as in eccentric. Cathedra, on high, as in Ex-Email, Kneemale, Female. NUDIPEDALIA, a solemn festival observed on account of some public calamity, as the plague, famine, drought, &c. On this occasion all were obliged, in token of humiliation, to walk bare-footed. The Roman Matrons, when they made vows or supplications to the goddess Vesta, always walked to her temple bare-footed. - Wilson, Archaeological Dictionary, 1783 +++ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
