The method of the TESTIMONIAL (post-tragic, traumaturgy).
To map the movement of borders in all dimensions, all scales,
separating the inside from the outside.
Celebrities are the place of emergence, siting a new experience of
subjectivation. Maenads give way to paparazzi (sp).
The theory guiding the formation of testimonial concerns
identification.
Correspondence.
The disaster outside/the trauma inside.
The flash of recognition.
Hitting the wall, the piling, at 85mph, focuses attention, bringing
the globe into synch, attunement.
The feeling of being a person is: the me outside. The media giving
being to alienation.
The function of testimonial: to coordinate the looking upon disaster
as a map of the inside and the movement, the circulation between
particular and general, individual and collective.
The city commissioners, the legislators, the boards of inquiry
recognize
the piling in the problem.
The problem has a hole, like the pottery used by the dead.
Solutions of the instrumental kind pour through the collander (chora).
call the emerAgency.
