SSH: absence-as presence is a very Nabokovian notion, No? The sky BETWEEN the branches, the infinity of time BETWEEN beats. No wonder then, that the "very poetic girl" in Lolita is constructed of this dreamspace:>)
JM:I should have corrected the informal wording which suggested "absence-as-presence" as being "a notion" of mine. This formulation can be found in various contexts such as in philosophy(symbol formation),music (interval, diastema), poetry, religion...but what I had in mind was Freud and the fetish.
