alice in wonderland and guy debord

i read alice in wonderland when i was twelve, then proceeding to fly through everything carroll ever wrote with an intense (and correct, as it turns out) belief that things would only get weirder. this fortuitous merging of lewis carroll weirdness with a current architectural history class theme actually seems to normalize carroll's story . . . as much as would be possible.

i must admit that the bit with the queen of hearts might actually be a more appropriate dubbing opportunity. of course, i may believe this simply because i used to have nightmares about the queen chasing me through the hedge labyrinth, only to trap me in a deadend. falling down a rabbithole ensued. dérive!
