(15[1])A book in this language describes Reason as a “chemical agent” that seeks to control nature and reads Marquis de Sade’s Juliette. A book in this language argues that art’s radical character has undergone (*) “repressive desublimation,” (10[2])flattening a previously “two-dimensional” existence.
