In the previous post we examined the elements and (non-)relations posited by Graham Harman’s OOP. In this post we shall see the movements, authorised and prohibited, that characterise this version of Speculative Realism.
Withdrawal is eliminative, deconstructive, abstractive, élitist – this ascent to the absolute is the defining movement of OOP.
De-withdrawal is emanative, constructive, concretive, democratic – this inverse movement of descent or return to daily life is prohibited by OOP.
