ceci n’est pas un homme

“Ceci n’est pas un homme” is not mere­ly a decon­struc­tion but the estab­lish­ment of an axiom that high­lights the con­tin­gency and auton­o­my of #SOC as the only social sys­tem. The human being remains in the envi­ron­ment, while #SOC oper­ates sole­ly through com­mu­ni­ca­tion. Con­tin­gency, under­stood as the fun­da­men­tal open­ness and pos­si­bil­i­ty of alter­na­tives, makes mean­ing and social real­i­ty pos­si­ble in the first place. The image invites this per­spec­tive to be both thought and prac­ticed.
