From here, he accounts<br \/>\nfor the shortcomings of dialectics resulting from the <b>faintness of the<br \/>\nnegatives<\/b> (no longer can we test &quot;the <i>pagus<\/i> of thought&quot; and return<br \/>\nfrom the &quot;wild, savage border zone where the excluded thirds and their ways of<br \/>\nseeing dwell&quot; (166) to effect a more inclusive polis). Vitanza offers three<br \/>\nSophistic ways of seeing:<\/p>\n<p>1. <b>misrepresentative antidotes<\/b>: counter to representative anecdotes<br \/>\n(168)<\/p>\n<p>2. <b>dissoi-paralogoi<\/b>: counter to dialectics&#8211;&quot;against dialectic (of any<br \/>\nkind), against didactic, and against <i>dissoi-logoi<\/i> by moving from one and<br \/>\ntwo to an explosion of threes or &#8216;some more&#8217; (excesses, <i>dissoi-polylogoi<\/i>)&quot;<br \/>\n(168).<\/p>\n<p>3. <b>theatricks<\/b>: counter to pragmatics (168)<\/p>\n<p>Third Sophistic seeing will keep theorEYEzation alive, will continue to mine<br \/>\nthe <i>pagus<\/i>.&nbsp; Without it, theory stalls, potentiality is reduced,<br \/>\nstifled, and we have a restricted economy (Modernism&#8217;s scarcities?). Whatever<br \/>\nbeings (Agamben) &quot;prefer not to be in the present reactionary community, prefer<br \/>\nnot to be complicit in employing the principle that excludes, prefer not to be<br \/>\nin the coming community&quot; (173). <\/p>\n<p>Another point: Third Sophistic seeing is <i>not<\/i> the same as<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Victor_Turner\">Victor Turner<\/a>&#8216;s <b>&quot;liminal<br \/>\nspace&quot;<\/b> (169).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;<b>&#8216;Whatever beings&#8217;<\/b> are not particular (i.e., species) or general<br \/>\n(genus); instead, they are a set(less) of <b>radical singularities<\/b> (in the<br \/>\nparalogic of the excluded Middle Ages, a.k.a. the <i>manere<\/i> [27]).&quot; (171).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Whatever beings intuit that the principles of <b>identity<\/b>, <b><br \/>\nnon-contradiction<\/b>, and <b>excluded-middle<\/b> (all the principles of<br \/>\nnegation informing re\/invention) are the very principles that exclude, that<br \/>\ndisallow the thing with all its properties, that disallow r<b>adical<br \/>\nsingularities<\/b>, themselves as such, in community&quot; (173).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Berger discusses &#8216;seeing&#8217; as a matter of ideology and mystification&quot; (165).\n<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I used to believe that it was possible after leaving the <i>polis<\/i> of<br \/>\nsystematic seeing to spend some paraproductive time in the <i>pagus<\/i> of<br \/>\nthought&#8211;that wild, savage border zone where the excluded thirds and their ways<br \/>\nof seeing dwell&#8211;and then when done to return, with insights, to the polis so as<br \/>\nto make it more inclusive.&nbsp; I still believe that such excursions are<br \/>\nvaluable, but they soon will be impossible&quot; (166).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;What will de\/form the coming community is without any notion of <b><br \/>\nantithesis<\/b> but only <b>remainders<\/b>. <b>Whatevers<\/b>!&quot; (167). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;According to Agamben, in <i>The Coming Community<\/i>, the coming beings are<br \/>\n&#8216;whatever beings&#8217;&quot; (170).<\/p>\n<p>seeing, theory, theoreyezing, singularity, spectacle, thirds, binary,<br \/>\nwhatever, community, indifference, identity<\/p>\n<dl>\n<dt>Related sources:<\/dt>\n<dd>Agamben, Giorgio. <i>The Coming Community<\/i>.
