BULLETINS
The bulletins of Phenomenon (1) are here
Here is the past and all its inhabitants miraculously sealed as in a magic tank; all we have to do is to look and to listen and to listen and to look and soon the little figures — for they are rather under life size — will begin to move and to speak, and as they move we shall arrange them in all sorts of patterns of which they were ignorant, for they thought when they were alive that they could go where they liked; and as they speak we shall read into their sayings all kinds of meanings which never struck them, for they believed when they were alive that they said straight off whatever came into their heads.

Just as the Argo’s parts may be replaced over time but the boat is still called the Argo, whenever the lover utters the phrase “I love you,” its meaning must be renewed by each use, as “the very task of love and of language is to give to one and the same phrase inflections which will be forever new.”

In 2011, European Space Agency astronaut Paolo Nespoli took a picture of Anafi from space and asked his followers on Tweeter in Italian: “which Greek island is without snakes?” His followers rushed to confirm it was Anafi. While the most accredited, and perhaps most seductive, explanation of the name Anafi derives from the Apollo’s episode in the Argonautica, and in particular from the word ἀνέφηνεν (“made appear”), it has been argued that the name Anafi may actually come from the word anafidhi, “without snakes”. Anafi has indeed no snakes.

Archaeology amounts to constituting a surface on which things can be inscribed. If you don't constitute a surface on which things can be inscribed, what's not hidden will remain invisible.
