The seemingly static model of identification forged through a “reflection” — as though in a mirror — appears at first sight to contrast markedly with the more dynamic notion of identity based on performativity. And yet, if we perceive the former as being grounded in a certain intentionality, we should recognise the actative dimension to the gaze itself.

2002, Neil Leach, “Belonging: Towards a Theory of Identification with Space”, in Jean Hillier, Emma Rooksby, editors, Habitus: A Sense of Place, Ashgate Publishing, page 291

Ours was but a twenty-four hour visit to Santa Catalina, but a much longer visit would be needed to do it justice. Its fifty miles of circuit has much more than fifty miles of bay and cove, for the coast is indented deeply: it has innumerable cañons, and valleys, and uplands, alpish peaks and summits: a perfect climate, brilliant sun, and neither heat nor cold.

1821, John Ayscough, chapter XXV, in First impressions in America, London: John Long Ltd, page 140

There was once a young French scientist who found himself one cold night in the darkened bedroom of an apartment in Locarno, Switzerland, a room that looked out over frozen Lake Maggiore, a beautiful, tiny, dull place where Italy kisses Switzerland. […] This was on his mind as he looked out the window and saw rooftops, Alpish mountains, some cold, glinting lights to the south in Italy and the silhouettes of Washingtonia palm fronds, static in the windless night.

2009 November 10, Douglas Coupland, Generation A, United States: Scribner, page 263

Good thing Joey didn’t specify the altitude of a proper, winterable mountain. I’m sure he pictured something Alpish or Rocky, not the mildly undulating Blue Ridge.

altarward

I am morally certain that if, whilst I was being conducted altarward through that thronged church this morning, anybody had shown any portion of my person the fullest stabbing-qualities of which the largest-sized pin is capable, I should have been thoroughly ignorant of such a demonstration.

He left himself out through the front door and went down the avenue to his car that he had parked down there away from the house the way I wouldn’t hear him coming in and he could surprise me, back early from his trip to the north, and the necklace boxed and bowed and held out before him like a thing being taken altarward in an offertory procession and the thorns of the rosebush opened the skin of my hand as I retrieved it from where he’d flung it and the salt of my tears seared in the tiny wounds.

2016, Donal Ryan, “Physiotherapy”, in A Slanting of the Sun: Stories, Black Swan Ireland, pages 135-136

She is going to be true and loyal to him against all the forces of the globe, if necessary, and he is going to be proud of her to the death. That is why I love her, Altess. She may be a duchess, and a great lady, but she is something better than that besides.

It seems a long time since Mr. [Paul] Henneberg has vouchsafed the public a flute solo: he was in rare form and it was a grand treat. The masterly manner in which the virtuoso deals with the most intricate execution and the expression that he develops is always a signal for an outburst of genuine applause. “I do not like the flute,” remarked a lady, “the physical effort is too palpable.” “Tua culpa, madam, don’t look at the performer.”

We did not attend the Bazaar and Supper, Saturday, dared not. Understood we stood-in, not well, but for a thrashing. But still it was a success and netted a nice sum for the Aid.—Why? Well, we took the item via phone and got our wires crossed. Mea culpa, tua culpa, or what means the same.

In my desperation casting about, I caught at the last word of the last line to connect it with you trying to be even feebly departmental with English at our Amherst College. You barely succeed. You envy those in equivalent positions at Mount Holyoke and Harvard. But desist. By so much more than you do of them do they fall short of ants that it is as if you were in the same row boat with them trying to overtake a liner that got away from the wharf while, tua culpa, you were being given a farewell dinner party at the Commodore [Hotel] by your friends.

Shattered another idol! / Busted another dream! / Culpa, tua culpa: / Such is my dismal theme. // Thou, C. C., ever unerring, / Keen as a radio beam— / Thou to let verses slip past thee, / With rhymes like “queen” [sic] with “dream!”

The experience of many would indicate that the accountants, in general, are well ahead of technologists in their practical thinking, and the “tua culpa” attitude indicates more a juvenile than adult attitude in any areas of disagreement.

We must remember that the present orgy of mea culpa breast beating and tua culpa finger pointing, which both the FCC and the industry are indulging in, to the accompaniment of loud and vague promises to try to do better programing in the future, are no guarantee to the millions of American TV family viewers that they will be any better even a year from now.

1960 March 17, Clare Boothe Luce, “Who Is Responsible for TV’s ‘Ugly America’?”, in Congressional Record, Appendix, page A2376, column 2

Protest is the way youth attempts to recover its freedom. It shows it is not determined, that things are not wrong by necessity, either from outside, as with [Karl] Marx, or from inside, with [Sigmund] Freud. Someone is to blame: guilt is on someone’s soul; blood is on his hands. Placards are lifted, marches organized, buildings occupied, police tantalized, and fingers pointed “Tua Culpa, Tua Culpa” (“Your fault, your fault”).

Tua culpa. “Why do people walk over me?” asked another patient. “I’m only trying to be a good guy.” The therapist’s answer was, “Because you let them.

Since you invite them, you have to suffer the consequences. Isn’t that right?”

THE verb whose past tense is “slayed” is defined by Chambers as “to amuse very much; to impress very much”. Is that really what the French state did to its priests and nuns after 1789? (Mary Kenny, May 7). Or is it another example of tua culpa, Mr Worsthorne?

Always having to worry if my father was angry or why, or if it was I who caused the anger. Worse was wondering if it was I who should be at work making his anger go away. Yet here among this vast polished cast, the game of mea culpa, tua culpa was played out with far more skulk.

(uncommon) Your fault, due to your error; you are to blame.


tua culpa

Here, in the desperate plight of so many of our brethren, lies a heavy charge against us. Here there is more than enough reason for our humble ‘mea culpa’ but also for a ‘tua culpa’ addressed to those outside the Church who, as socialists, claim to have, or ought to have, a sense of social responsibility.

It is, perhaps, the nature of the great American beast that in the midst of the recent “energy crisis” at least two-thirds of all the media time and space devoted to the “crisis” dealt with flinging “tua culpa’s”—trying to pass the blame.

1974, Richard M. Laska, “‘The Preceeding Crisis was Brought to You By…’”, in Anton B. Schmalz, editor, Energy: Today’s Choices, Tomorrow’s Opportunities: Essential Dimensions in Thinking for Energy Policy, Washington, D.C.: World Future Society, →OCLC, page 216

There is, of course, a conspiracy to deny his rightness, and Nice Guys Finish Last is a tua culpa as full of lofty complaints as Henry Kissinger before a Congressional committee. Both Henry and Leo are always aghast at the inability of the opposition to see the truth, which is so patiently being told them.

I conclude that the evidence fails to support the general charge of a hostile learning environment in American law schools and the call for a new regime in legal education. If I am right, perhaps the smugness, tua culpas, breast beating, and self-abasement can stop.

2001, Dan Subotnik, “The Cult of Hostile Gender Climate: A Male Voice Preaches Diversity to the Choir”, in The University of Chicago Law School Roundtable: A Journal of Interdisciplinary Legal Studies, volume 8, number 1, Chicago, Ill.: University of Chicago Law School, →ISSN, page 40

One of the many dangers threatening us today is the widespread tendency to put the blame on others. Christopher West resorts to this strategy in his book, Good News About Sex and Marriage, […] Here, West falls into a contemporary trap. The tua culpa [you are at fault] has replaced the mea culpa [I am at fault]. To assume that those who fall into sexual sin necessarily would have led a pure life had one’s parents or teachers been more “open” in their approach to the intimate sphere, is pure illusion.

2013, Alice von Hildebrand, “[The Nature of the Intimate Sphere] Tua Culpa or Mea Culpa?”, in The Dark Night of the Body: Why Reverence Comes First in Intimate Relations, Fort Collins, Colo.: Roman Catholic Books, pages 13–14
