- Title
TEMPS PERDU? ON TRANSIENCE.
- Authors
Hölzl, Julia
- Abstract
It seems as if duration were still a "first-rate value on earth" (Nietzsche), whereas its eternal supplement - transience - tends to be negated. Eluding its re-presentation(ability), ephemera are only thought in relation to and/or as being-opposed to permanence. Yet, it is precisely transience that renders duration possible: Transitions being the only state(s) existing, duration is a mere instant of transience. Thus, the aim here is to (de)void transience of duration, that is, to liberate it from any reductionist relationality imposing a consistency external to it. To think it as such: to think it as transiences, to think them as and for themselves; neither as derived from, nor as pro-genitor of (duration). To think transiences as such rather than as such is to relate them to their becoming-different, for they are relating difference to differences- every transience is different, each time different; already -always- dis-placed, they are always somewhere else, never (t)here. Given this pre-supposed distance, they are (only) when they are not. Transiences are always - already - untimely, already - always- beyond (themselves). To de-scribe transiences without a-scribing them to permanence is to weakly transcribe it:TRANSience ; par transiAnce ; pour transiEnces
