Dietmar Kamper  Between Simulation and Negentropy: The Fate of the Individual Looking Back on the End of the World

"finite history" with catastrophic beginning and catastrophic end is linked with the greatest fear harbored by the individual and that it draws its obviousness from the birth and death of the individual human being's threatened course of life

Jean Baudrillard

The Anorexic Ruins

I am amazed by the obesity of all current systems, this incarnation of evil, as Susan Sontag said of cancer, that is represented by our means of communication, memory, storage, production, and destruction, means that have been expanded and overburdened so much that their uselessness is a foregone conclusion.

The Anorexic Ruins

Human rights, dissidence, antiracism, the antinuclear movement, and the environment are gentle ideologies.  They are easy, post coitum historicum, after the orgy; ideology for an agreeable generation – the children of crisis, who are acquainted with neither hard ideologies nor radical philosophies.  They are the ideology of a neoromantic and politically neosentimental generation that is rediscovering love, selflessness, togetherness, international compassion, and the individual tremolo.
