ABSTRACT
We must note, at this point, a different urgency…the urgency of confronting collective living right where its most radical possibility of crisis exists: that is, in its imaginative roots. The destruction which comes from the outside (even from earthquakes) seems to us less serious than the destruction which comes from within if we cannot learn to live in our postmetropolitan condition, to live beyond the uprooting of the affinity between the I and the world by positing a new imaginary.
