Abstract

e medium and the revolution exclude each other, insofar as two kinds of violence, restlessly ghting for domination, collide. e ght is a ght for the ght itself. e violence of the medium can namely suppress the ght the revolution needs. e violence of this suppression of violence, the violence of nonviolence produces the psycho-somatic state of depression. In this depression the body is drawn together, onto itself. It does not experience anything anymore. e violence of »the ancient« directs itself therefore only towards itself alone. us the immediate and its origin are veiled. e medium excludes them. e origin cannot return, it remains in absence. e violence of the revolution cannot awaken anymore. e absence of the revolution is the absent origin itself
