Abstract

From Memory assemblages, I will address the trait of para-ontological intelligibility that has sustained its cosmopolitical scope according to the specificity of the spectrum, whether in the structure of its own thought – in the “narrow thread of its purpose” – or
from the “moving background” of its theoretical influences that result in additions and a significant absence, in my view. If the absence of interiority erases irrevocable contours; these, always mutable and always under some social appeal, depend on the tracing of a psyche. If this is a para-ontological choice, sometimes speculative, sometimes hanthological, it seems to me that an ontology is remade amid notions-in-erasure.
