| Abstract
|
:
|
Elements of Refusal spells it all out. Here it is axiomatic that art, language, time, industrialism, number, technology, work and other aspects of our social lives all hailed as the liberators of humanity are, in fact, the co-conspirators of domestication and domination. The Overwhelming power of present-day ruling notions and the requirements of sheer survival leave most of us virtually incapable of recognizing how diverse are the real possibilities of life. But today, more than ever, they stand exposed.
