ABSTRACT

At a time when the battle cry of dividing societies is making itself heard again through the demands for partition in a most zealous way, resuming the frenzy of what had been its mission always, namely, creating a heavenly identity at a point of fundamental divergence and rupture, as only God can testify, and therefore no dialogue can assuage, it will not be out of season to speak of some of the necessary things – this time in a milieu of political correctness sanctified by the god of identity, and linked to the idea of nation that has brought about a revolution in our political sense only comparable with the revolution in knowledge associated with the name of Copernicus. Possibly it can be said that, as a result of this discovery, it has become extremely difficult, if not almost impossible, and to think of the existences of other heavenly bodies beyond what this God has attested, and to think of political existence without the centre that this revolution has brought about. The commentaries of partition therefore often emanating from within the world of nation are only subsumed at a later stage within that world, and critiques emanating from outside that world remain very often unable to reach the dense clusters below – a strange case of void, as the void is filled up only by renewed emptiness.
