An invitation to close the gap, to cut off the chains of simulacra... An invitation to closeness, to being with, to respond. An invitation to play.
Play—with words, with ideas, with identities (especially scholastically constructed ones), with implication and gesture... gesture as citation. Play as a bulwark against gravitas, against dogmatism, against the temptation of knowledge. Play as reinvigoration and revaluation: In short, Eine fröhliche Geisteswissenschaft.
