Opfergang:
Masterpiece of National Socialist Cinema

Derek Hawthorne

Kristina Söderbaum in "Opfergang"

6,105 words

1. Introduction

I learned about Opfergang from an unlikely source: a documentary on the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek. In one segment he is shown browsing in Kim’s Video in Manhattan (at its old location on St. Mark’s Place). As he does throughout the documentary, Žižek engages in a kind of frantic monologue, and at one point he names his three favorite films: King Vidor’s The Fountainhead (this really surprised me), Sergei Eisenstein’s Ivan the Terrible, and Veit Harlan’s Opfergang.

L’appel aux dieux:
la phénoménologie de la presence divine

Collin Cleary

16,482 words

1. Introduction

Le problème avec nos païens occidentaux modernes, c’est qu’ils ne croient pas vraiment en leurs dieux, ils croient seulement croire en eux.

Mes ancêtres croyaient, mais je ne sais pas de quelle manière ils croyaient. Je confesse que je ne sais pas à quoi cela ressemble de vivre dans un monde où il y a des dieux. Read more …

Paganisme sans dieux :
Alain de Benoist et Comment peut-on être païen ?

Collin Cleary

words

1. Introduction

Le livre d’Alain de Benoist Comment peut-on être païen ?[1], comme son titre le suggère, est un appel pour un retour au paganisme. Beaucoup plus exactement, c’est un appel pour un nouveau paganisme. « Paganisme » est un terme inventé par les chrétiens pour désigner les religions qu’ils souhaitaient supplanter. Le « néo-paganisme » est la tentative pour revenir à ces religions préchrétiennes indigènes. Read more …

Le dualisme et les cycles du temps

Edward Burne-Jones, "The Wheel of Fortune"

994 words

English original here

« La manière générale imprécise d’observer voit partout dans la nature des opposés là où il y a non des opposés, mais des différences de degré. Cette mauvaise habitude nous a conduits à vouloir comprendre et analyser le monde intérieur, aussi, le monde moral-spirituel, en ces termes d’opposition. Une quantité indicible de souffrance, d’arrogance, de dureté, de séparation, de frigidité, est entrée dans les sentiments humains parce que nous croyons voir des opposés au lieu de transitions. » – Nietzsche Read more …
