"I
dream of the intellectual destroyer of evidence and universalities,
the one who, in the inertias and constraints of the present,
locates and marks the weak points, the openings, the lines
of power, who incessantly displaces himself, doesn't know
exactly where he is heading nor what he'll think tomorrow
because he is too attentive to the present."1
