avens bai zhu banxia gentian gentian violet inulin male fern mansa podophyllum qianghuo Ruscus Aculeatus scopola turmeric zedoary | Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek articulates our "postmodern era" as one where, "although the ideological scene is fragmented into a panoply of positions which struggle for hegemony, there is an underlying consensus: the era of big explanations is over, we need 'weak thought,' opposed to all foundationalism, a thought attentive to the rhizomatic texture of reality. In the process, we are witnessing a rhizomatic leveling of the hierarchy of surveillance, such that groups which were previously exempt from routine surveillance are now increasingly being monitored. And in many ways, each fragment is a window or a path to a rhizomatic territory of texts: 1) from Pessoa's theories on genius and madness to Antonio Mora's philosophical work, or to Caeiro's poetry; 2) from Charles Sanders Peirce's theories (and triadic typologies) to Nietzschean pragmatic-vitalist philosophy, from Poe's tales of horror and perversity to Nordau and Lombroso's criminal theories and so on. |
