the event of patricia heArst, like this text you are reading, By-passes interpretation. through a process of imitation this text attempts to reCover its subject - the imitation of potential and not DefinitivE meaning. The punctuation that gives Form to this discourse assumes only convention. proper capitalization has been discarded to dull meaninG - to offer doubt, an upper-case alphabet (corresponding to the pHotographic model on thIs page) has been reJoined randomly with the fabric of this text - a mild surrogate: a pathetic need to replace what is lost? - a love of models? locKed into the beginning and end of all Language the alphabet assumes only its arbitrary and exhaustive potential for Meaning. even as this alphabet diagrams its photographic counterpart, it is not a key to meaNing. these photographs are offered, rather, as a digressiOn from this text (a Place to refocus)-an enemy of meaning. confronted with the disQuieting contRadictions of these faceS, inTerpretation is sUspended. eVen as the Words of this teXt overlay their subject, the image of patricia hearst stubbornlY resists clarification- traversing the multiple language Zones of american culture in the seventies.
