The Arachnean and Other Texts by Fernand Deligny (1913-1996) is a
collection of writings from the second half of the 1970s. In 1968
Deligny established a "network" for informally taking care of
children with autism that was more than a mere site of living: it
was a milieu created out of a reflection on the mode of being
autistic. What is a space perceived outside of language? What is
the form of a movement without perspective or goal? How do we
engage with a world that is not our own, a world turned upside down
yet truly common, where acting cohabitates with our actions and the
unknown with our forms of knowledge? Such is the mythical web of
the "Arachnean," made of lines, holes, traces, enigmas, and
questions without answers that demand to see that which cannot be
seen. Long before the digital age of social networks, meshworks,
and digital webs, Fernand Deligny speaks to us in his own
autobiographical and aphoristic manner. For Deligny, his life was
always experienced in the form of "the network as a mode of being."
