>From Mario Perniola, Enigmas: The Egyptian Moment in
Society and Art (NY: Verso, 1995) ...

"We are witnessing a strange inversion.   Humans are
becoming more similar to things and equally, the
inorganic world, thanks to electronic technology,
seems to be taking over the human role in the
perception of events.... In the future, as in the
past, what excites and troubles us is the experience
of reification, of becoming a thing, of a condition
that lacks both spirituality and life, ignorant of the
vehemence of the former and the organic basis of the
latter."
