Pynchon resonances. Being fully human. Esp Just Being in Agamben
No teleological ends.In P= Eating,
smoking
dope, fucking, being nice, singing
silly songs.
Modern life as a civil war. In P = "a
state of siege"
National boundaries as therefore
deeply, contentiously political.
State, Statelessness vs. The
Concentration Camp as modernity
"How can we think a form-of-life, that is, a human life released from the
grip of law, and a use of bodies and of the world that never becomes an
appropriation? How can we think life as something not subject to ownership
but only for common use?"--from an amazon description of an earlier book.
