ABSTRACT

Wanting to do something, to make a change, to see things as they really are, not as they seem, not as They want you see them? Is it possible? Is it really possible to see radically? Being radical implies some counter-stance to the world as it is, a stance that is active, engaged and committed to bringing about change. But this demands some conception of the world as it is, as it ‘should’ be and where ‘I’ am in it. Being committed and engaged means that any such conceptions of a ‘world’ and an ‘I’ are embodied in material realities where everything is in some way connected as in some sort of either mechanical or organic whole. Can you just ask someone what they do, who they are and this whole shape of connected entities making up ‘reality’ will just pop up? Will a world where people are located in places caught up in some combination of plans, actions and contexts of circumstances begin to be mapped out?
