Defunctum. Objectum attraction to "dead" objects. Like a computer that wont turn on anymore or a broken, unfixable object. Defunctum = defunct (no longer existing or functioning) + objectum #objectum #flag #defunctum #objectumflag

"...tutaque deposito poscitur ense rudis.
me quoque, qui totiens merui sub amore puellae,
defunctum placide vivere tempus erat.”

Ovid, Amores 2.9A.13-24

We kwamen er ook achter dat m’n moeder nooit is bijgeschreven in het Lectorium Defunctum. Mysterieus.

So the defunctum Newseum in DC had climate protected periodicals from around the world. One was an 1840s edition of "The Colored American". It was an abolitionist paper and I remember about 2/3s into it it had a huge chunk of Cicero quoted. The Latin. No translation. I was gobsmacked. Shame on me...
