The Weird Global Media Event and the Tactical Intellectual

[DIS]


"When responding in a timely fashion to events that stupefy, it is important not to respond stupidly, reactively, with a reflexive negation that merely reproduces the dialectical terms of Wedom and Theydom. Rather, one has to deploy tactics that display a certain ironic knowledge about how the vector works, and which attempts to reach that everyday interzone where, in the wake of the event, boundaries seem to dissolve, and irony finds its intemperate time" (Wark, 273).
