Since the end of Upper Paleolithic, the things by which we live, of which we believe ourselves masters, whether technical objects (furniture, tools, machines) or intellectual objects (images, ideas, methods), transform our minds in return and creep into our behaviors, our actions, and even into our sex lives. The ghosts of our things, which permanently haunt us, almost always unconsciously, have shaped our societies and our visions. In modern societies, the disappearing of work as a conscious material transformation of the world and the generalized diffusion of managerial slang, eviscerate language, making it unsuitable for any poetry. But, when poetry disappears, the desire and pleasure of living disappear with it, leading to this generalized anesthesia so characteristic of the time. Recovering poetry, and the taste for life with it, first of all requires to accept our native symbiosis with our things, but a symbiosis henceforth, thought, conscious, and lived. It also means to (re-)build free forms of collective work. The ecological crisis can help us ...------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Depuis la fin du Paléolithique supérieur, les choses par quoi nous vivons, dont nous nous croyons maîtres, objets techniques (meubles, outils, machines) ou intellectuels (images, idées, méthodes), transforment en retour nos esprits, s’insinuent dans nos conduites, nos gestes, et jusque dans nos sexualités. Les spectres de nos choses qui nous hantent, pour l’essentiel à notre insu, ont façonné nos sociétés et nos visions. Dans les sociétés modernes, la disparition du travail comme transformation matérielle consciente du monde et la diffusion généralisée de la langue de bois managériale éviscèrent le langage, le rendant impropre à toute poésie. Mais quand la poésie disparaît, le désir et le plaisir de vivre, disparaissent avec elle, conduisant à cette anesthésie générale caractéristique de l’époque. Recouvrer la poésie, et le goût de vivre avec, c’est d’abord accepter notre symbiose native avec nos choses, mais une symbiose désormais, pensée, consciente, vécue. C’est (re-)construire des formes de travail collectif libres. La crise écologique peut nous aider...

    We do not perceive the world, but, most of the time, the representations that our brain elaborates. In What is Life (1944), Erwin Schrödinger notes that, only when our representations and our perceptions (at first unconscious) diverge, is our attention awaken by this incoherence, and tries to resolve it. The sciences of the mind allowed to validate this scheme. The pre-eminence...
