PostPower I - Introduction
<p>The crux of existence with the melange of wills, reason, emotions, dreams and so on</p><p>Power lies not at the center but the inbetween caused by social inertia veiled in the entrapment of the social code to propagate itself into another form, if it has to adapt from it's own excesses.</p><p>These examples of hierarchies seen as social norms nearing a universalist and absolutist idea to what is natural, irrespective of the harm it causes to be propagated, to create a binary that becomes the seen and unseen, the accepted and unacceptable e.g Man-Woman, Rich-Poor, White-Black, Straight-Queer, Young-Old, Able-Disabled and so on.</p><p>These binaries are codified into our psychophysical reality, in the ideas and concepts we form to the materials we enact on as subjects. As desire flows through the machines of production creating systems that operate beneath the surface of our society. As Daniel Baryon states in his essay Power</p><p><em><br/></em></p><p><strong><em>"Enduring systems of thought and meaning silently underlie society’s functioning, giving it justification, forming its basic assumptions, and organizing the lives of the people that populate it under a paradigm."</em></strong></p><p><br/></p><p>This exploration of the Theory of power will be backed by my self knowledge, anarchism mostly through the lens of Daniel Baryon and postmodernism mostly through the lens of Jean Baudrillard to the best of my understanding.</p><p>This is a philosophical inquiry</p>
