As If By Chance
the Private Sector worries me
it can, the ubiquitous 'they' say, solve -- that is, clear up --
the economy, which, at the upper level is called economics -- that
is, confused science and confused theology prancing around
together as usual, is under the cultural, like oil or gas
under the hood or roof, and unpredictably disappearing from
under us
and the political, which, by manipulation, is over the stunned
polis, in order to manage production, distribution, and
consumption of wealth, becomes political economy -- thus,
what is under becomes what is over, and vice versa, to define
realities without earth and sky which are cultural habitudes
and the cultural, which -- not limited by high, low or middling --
is conflict around the creation of reality, and may be
invisible as thought is, and is neither formulaic -- bonded
like chemicals -- nor nostalgic, which is a dangerous and
transcendent condition, having forgotten that transcendence
like ourselves is historical, even in dreams
and the social, which is a struggle against dominations and powers
the society of which is recently made up of those who were not
previously there
and mass culture, which is new, misunderstood and ungenerous
about historical consciousness, mirrors privacies that dis-
solve in soap, and is jubilant, from which sorrow may
learn
and democracy, which is recent, unAthenian, unPeriklean, in-
complete, and by nature unstable and creative
and the sexual, which is the passionate body of all chemicals
and our ethos, which is the behaviour of one to another, near and
far -- many to many defines character -- and is visible -- not, as
the dictionary tells us, 'the moral, ideal, or universal ele-
ment in a work of art as distinguished from that which is e-
motional or subjective' -- [WOW! dissolve that and ethos becomes
possible action -- character for the sake of the action -- and
pathos is there among kindnesses]
and the universal, which is absent from twentieth-century thought,
according to poesis afoot
and technology, which has wild arms, and is human nature unaware
of itself
and the angels, who became isms and hierarchies in order to im-
materialize the real things we're thrown up against, as we
become startled sub-jects -- to which I ob-ject
and religion, which, dismissed from the plane of thought,
gathers godhead in small envelopes of cement, whereon
the postage changes
and human survival, which, with its adjectival ironies,
proposes a social inheritance
and the good, which we know as Goodness! an expletive,
something added to fill up the whole that has nothing to
do with it, and which is fragile and our own composition
and love, which is true attention to whatever and sometimes
some one
and friendship, which is guidance in every attention
the Private Sector economizes hither and yon, as it was
a past participant in bereavement and deprivation, as it
is now a relationship between privies with the exception
of an infinitely distant point, as mathematicians
say, the world as such, says Castoriadis
