perhaps now three modes of the subject in the guise of friend, neighbour
and lover; and three parallel sociabilities of knowledge, economy and art:
knowledge called forth, economy compelled by desire and a yielding to
art's gravity;

thus the universalized homosociality of unitary modern man gives way under
stress to what? Nietzsche's new friend? or Habermas's old foe?

perhaps there is a stranger being felt before speech and knowing is
possible, like a "Read Me" file which beckons on: genome, rhizome or
virus?
