Wakian quote explained

a commodius
vicus of recirculation,” a
trip around the inside of the
skull in order to revisit important
images representing a
“body” of forgotten information. (From Finnigan's Wake or could be found in Sexon's article)

When Professor Sexon talked about this quote in his article, it led him to the magical properties of memory like Bruno. For me, it seemed a much more oooh...how to say it....primitive view of memory. Not primitive in the sense that it is obsolete but a much older view of memory. In some culture's time the progression of events is not linear. It is a recirculation of events. Important objects, events and everything else comes back around. Time is made out in a cirular fashion. 1 person may revisit an event countless times in one lifetime. A great example of this is the book 100 Years of Solitude. In the book, the theme of ice from Aurliano Buendia's childhood was a repeated action throughout the story. We start with him remebering the idea of ice. Then we get the story of his childhood experience with ice. Later in the book we saw ice again and how it changed the town of Macando. In the story events did not line up with our notion of time but instead it lined up with an emphasis on importance. In a way that is how I know my concious memory works. Important things often recirculate their way through my mind and I revisit them at times daily, other times monthly and sometimes yearly. Reguardless, they are always remembered and revisited.
