ABSTRACT
What I have to say in this section will be much more controversial and speculative than what I have said so far. My aim is to determine whether the concept of mindfucking can shed light on a range of distinct subjects: does it provide a useful and illuminating way to conceptualize certain fi gures, movements and disciplines? Here I shall perforce be brief and dogmatic, because the range is large and inherently disputable. Still, it seems to me of interest to enquire how far the concept may be extended.
