Questioning the Value of Abolishing Difference: An Introduction to a Rhetoric of Contestation

This text is primarily and mainly the Introduction to a rhetoric challenging the value of abolishing difference; this rhetoric reassuringly pre-announces that the lecturer of the rhetoric will not be the philosophical discourse as a defender of the difference but horror itself. Furthermore, this same text accompanies the specific Introduction with two examples – among of course various others – of this rhetoric: the minor analytic and the minor systematic of horror, through which it emerges and it speaks – without accusative or defending intermediatings – the horror of abolishing difference and nothing else but that.
