A Writing Style For Our Times (2020)
(Edited Apr 08 2020) There is today a surfeit of cultural practices, oriented towards the posited future, that merely reflect personal beliefs, goals or desires, or are utopian or, as we know through terrorism, are destructive in character. These historical cultural practices of addressing the “known” future work when the times are relatively stable. But our times are increasingly chaotic and we now need another way to address the future, in its character of being always unknown and yet REAL! This future requires a corresponding art form, a cultural practice that is synchronized to the quality of the future as unknown yet real, while at the same time participates in its coming-to-be. In this essay, I point to a new art form, a style of literature that is emerging into visibility. This form looks chaotic and threatening when judged from the perspective of our traditional consciousness which has stabilized over centuries of habituated thought structures—“frozen” polarities such as: inner/outer; self/other; fictional/empirical; past/future; psychological/literary, as well as the fundamental law of contradiction. Yet this emerging new art form has been heralded by the art, poetry and some prominent French philosophers of the early 20th century, and now again in the 21st century as more disciplines approach the gripping problematic of ineluctable material reality. See my essay Transformation of Matter as a companion piece to this essay.
