ABSTRACT
The hauntology of the last few pages was an exercise staged as a necessary cleansing of the historiographic palate or a clearing of the throat before speaking further. The kind of gesture that often comes in advance of and usually immediately prior to composing a new work (but is here and now in medias res) and which, inescapably, builds upon acknowledging and paying homage to what is being cleared out/ cleansed. Those ghosts encountered above. An orientation session and a mode d’emploi for the text is being assembled here, incorporating things which are now no longer present/visible except as the shadow or specter of the transformations you’re reading here. Insofar as they have a direction they mark a launching which (in connection with the distances marked by the opening Passages) will send us not only back much further in time, but outward to other spaces. Heterotopically.
