«The world is in decomposition, thank God». Lacan’s words ironically echo the cosmological unease at the heart of Western modernity. As the globalized nomos disperses, the planet comes forth as a new grand narrative that assimilates zones of extinction, extraction and isolated resistance. This book navigates our age’s cosmological reason with a focus on its roots in the collective imagery and sensibility. A critique of the planetary syntax and its opposing factions is now necessary if we want to escape the impasse of our epoch.

Abstract
«The world is in decomposition, thank God». Lacan’s words ironically echo the cosmological unease at the heart of Western modernity. As the globalized nomos disperses, the planet comes forth as a new grand narrative that assimilates zones of extinction, extraction and isolated resistance. This book navigates our age’s cosmological reason with a focus on its roots in the collective imagery and sensibility. A critique of the planetary syntax and its opposing factions is now necessary if we want to escape the impasse of our epoch.File in questo prodotto:
