Can I be the genius?
They say the genius is a dormant potential, longing for liberation from the stifling molds that seek to confine its expansive nature. They say the genius emerges as an existential force, a fusion of individuality and the eternal possibility of creation, who cannot find satisfaction in earthly passions. The genius relates not to the Dionysian ideals, but to the high and far aspiration of the intellect.
The genius must suffer. Must feel profoundly the pain of love, of art, of knowledge, of solitude, of justice - or the lack of it; it is an obscure agony, that cannot be comprehended by the common man. The genius must recognize the art produced through pain, and embrace it; as the creation, after all, is a painkiller. The suffering of the genius fundamentally shapes the entire being, pain is the only way the genius can perceive and engage with the world.
What about the art that is not charged with suffering? What happens when the genius is not in pain? Is that even possible? What happens then?
What is a Genius?
The concept of a feminine genius is not confined to a fixed set of qualities but rather embodies the unique and unprecedented advances made by the women. It transcends the binary system of sexuality, emphasizing individual creativity and the ability to challenge social conditions of identity. Feminine genius is thus a form of creativity that is deeply rooted in sexual experience but is expressed through risks taken in thought, language, and self-identity. This concept goes beyond the traditional binary notion of genius. It emphasizes the unique creativity of individuals, irrespective of gender, and the deviation from standard sexual identities.
