This "pre" region is the instance
of free intensities, where no arché (principle) can survive or install
itself; it has no beginning, no principles, because its nature is pure immanence,
pre-subject and pre-object, a virtual philosophic prelude. On the other side,
God, ideas, principles, axioms, concepts, foundations, causes, egos, political
states are beings originated from a millenary metaphysics based on the arché,
where the beginning is a principle, foundation of a system that is intended to
be installed. They are coagulating and centralizing points of monopolizing power
long introjected and fixated in our minds (fixed ideas). When do we definitely
free ourselves of the platonic and aristotelic heritage? Pre-philosophy conceives
another landscape, whose nature is made of an anarchical immanence by excellence.
A landscape without gravitational points of centralizing power, with multiplied
speeds connected in dynamic networks, whose points are not points, but other dynamic
networks, constituting an inexact pre- |

metaphysical topos whereby the intensities
flow, heterogeneously recreating themselves. Hence anarcho-culture, where networks
constitute life, frees itself from monopolizing points of power, but also from
the hylemorphic vision of the philosophical past, where form always formatted
matter. No concept can explain it, no form can retain it. One can affirm its nature
is informal and pre-structural: pure performance, because the replications and
samplings of intensities and codes refrain its crystallization into concepts,
forms or egos. Identity suffers an attack, it becomes another thing. Pierre Menard,
author of Borges' Don Quixote, and Sherrie Levine's photos illustrate the attack
to authorship and demonstrate the paradoxical transformation suffered by the work
replicated by them. No work will ever be the same after replicated (Cultural-Clone).
The continuous replication of the other and itself (Cultural Auto-Poesis + Cultural
Alterity) destroy the original one, in order to transform it into a multiplicity
free of the arché. |
