The components of anxiety, stress, fear, and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world, even though we talk about them as if they do.

There may be a great fire in our hearts, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.

In the manner of Alzheimer's disease, television destroys our past feelings. Viewed form the present, D Day has shrivelled in a speeded-up perspective effect that the small screen accentuates. While the illustrated history book evokes the mental imagery of real or emblematic memories, the television monitor collapses memory's close-ups and cancels the coherence of our fleeting impressions. It is hardly an accident, after all, that the Italian neo-fascist leader Gianfranco Fini, profiting from such amnesia, recently told a journalist form La Stampa: "I wonder if D Day, with the American landing, isn't also the day Europe lost its cultural identity".


Fifty years on, with victory metamorphosing into defeat, the job of disinformation is thus done, a piece of deception achieved by both politics and the media.

Αποχωρητήριον ή Αποχαιρετιστήριον

As contemporary societies experience a sort of personality split with regard to time - at least, to the moment - with the present of immediate life on one hand and the telepresent of mass communication on the other, surely it would be appropriate to pose the problem of the effect of the temporal regime of human perception on our understanding and thus on our capacities for political expression and decision-making.

Surely the pragmatic nature of parliamentary democracy should incite us to consider not only the diversity of opinion but also the individual's psycho-physiological limits when it comes to interpreting the unexpected, what crops up ex abrupto.

If repression has indeed been the fundamental link between power, knowledge, and sexuality since the classical age, it stands to reason that we will not be able to free ourselves from it except at a considerable cost.
