Imagine belonging to the troubled reality of our contemporaneity, defined by Haraway as “Hot Society: in constant turmoil, zooming ahead into the future for better or for worse, for progress, for development, for the updating system, for the throw-away life, for contingency, for technological domination, for the hero prick story.”
A sense of detachment is ingrained within this reality; in Hegelian terms it is called 'the wound9', by which the “Geist” or “Spirit” (also translated as Mind) at its most elementary is the “wound” of nature. The power of introducing a gap or cut into the given – immediate substantial unity, the power of differentiating , of “abstracting,” of tearing apart and treating as self-standing what in reality is part of an organic unity.
