Antrification

somehow adding the possessive onto land, culture and state i find a very disturbing thing, in one sense, and i wonder if it is really possible to create a multiplicity of all these “my beijing”s or “my switzerland”s. hierarchies will always develop, and someone’s beijing, or someone’s border territory, someone’s right to do this or that —- will always conflict with another’s. so is the city really a multipli-city? or just the nether spaces formed by the holes left when one version stamps on another, because we would like to believe that our versions of the city, the vision that we see, supposedly exists and is true, some sort of concreteness and counter-confirmation of our own existence in the world?

i am interested to know yes more about how tremblement may intersect with this, the nether spaces and the disjunctures. is public something collective or just a throwing together of the private interests with the most money and power? “one world, one dream”. it’s a funny hallucination of the collective imaginaire.

and yes, when does the interest of an individual become a collectivity? when does the collective become representative? when and where do individual migrations influence social security, or personal sentiments? i’m not sure how to consider all of this under the umbrella of a “collectivist society” in the first place.

oh…we have so much to talk about!
