Important to the essays here is the possibility of using logos without the
negative, restricting and violent aspects of logos. In this respect I speak
about affirmation and about tragic awareness rather than about the tragic
itself or tragic conflict, as I read texts of a literary democracy that is already
here, texts by Don DeLillo, Tomas Tranströmer, John Ashbery and Thanasis
Valtinos, or see arrangements by Lo Snöfall. Indeed it is all about arrangements,
about knowing how to affirm and doing it rather than using language
and its codes in order to transcribe, however accurate this might be. Arrangements
say yes, since they do not raise any absolute boundaries. The
arrangement is a logos without logos: it is a cosmos, where affirming is a
tragically aware cosmetics. Cosmos is neither the world nor any ordering or
embellishment of this world, but an openness as the incalculable accumulation
of arrangements that say yes in their awareness that they do not amount
to an ontology. Here we can speak about a reverse tragic, one that–unlike
what takes place in Aristotle, Hegel or Nietzsche–imposes order to abyss.
