التفكير في غزة.. مقال عن الشراسة

A call to imagine a less lethal future, written against the backdrop of genocide and "fierce optimism." _After Gaza, it is time to acknowledge the failure of the attempt to humanize history, and that there will be no second chance. It is time to admit the failure of the experiment called "civilization"... The abyss is wide open, and we can only see it. We have to stare into the abyss, measure its breadth and depth. We have to map it, as we fall headlong into it. “Thinking after Gaza” means recognizing the collapse of global rationality and democracy, the human values ​​that were the famous - and fragile - promise of modernity. But it also means searching for ways to escape the bleak future that awaits those born in this disappointing century: this century that threatens to be the last, in which thought has lost all political power, and the survival instinct struggles to resist the ferocity of military-technological extermination machines. To the generation born at the twilight of Western civilization, we owe this final intellectual work, to imagine abandoning our barbaric present, on paths not yet illuminated. Thinking After Gaza, the latest essay by the famous Italian theorist of autonomy, Franco “Bifo” Berardi, is a meditation on the multifaceted repercussions—political, philosophical, and civilizational—of the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the West Bank. The book bears honest witness to the conditions on the ground in the occupied territories, and traces the “unbridled optimism” that has replaced Enlightenment ideals, directed not only at activists, but also at pacifist philosophers, historians, and theologians.
