A conflict is taking place right now:
“The male species is fighting war everywhere, and always with a clear conscience. This is in accordance with the tradition of eating meant and occasionally cannibalism. Men must kill to feed themselves, they must increasingly subjugate nature in order to live or survive, traveling to distant planets seeking that which no longer exists in the here and now; they must defend their patch of earth down here or up there. Men always go that step further, onwards in their exploitation, their appropriation without ever really knowing where they are headed. They take what they imagine they need without asking who they really are or what the connection is between what they do and their identity.”
Quotation from Luce Irigaray’s An Ethics of Sexual Difference, (translated from the Swedish, Könsskillandens etik och andra texter, 1994).
The instillation describes a state of war, an armed conflict, a personal political conflict.
