As if we could ignore dichotomies and not think in terms of us/them, here/there, in/out. Affection perhaps could disengage dichotomies and bring contradiction. Contradiction brings malleability to discourse , which, by definition, stands on shaky grounds prone to earthquakes.

Sunglasses and Transluciferation. A contradiction: the original as the translated version of its own translation.
