Traversing philosophy and the human sciences, literature, cinema,
and the visual arts, this book maps out a history where all is
chaos, maelstrom, and fog. If perception and language objectivate
the world, if imagination structures it, if knowledge orders it,
then how can we describe, name, or even apprehend that which comes
to pass when language is absent, when perception vacillates, and
when knowledge eludes us? How can we say, show, or make known that
which undermines and refutes the order of things, the supposedly
immutable real, and the administration of the sensible? This book
takes us on a quest that traverses philosophy and the human
sciences, but also literature, cinema, and the visual arts. Not
content with analysing the ordering power of our representations,
in The Infra-World Francois J. Bonnet also interrogates the works
of artists who have experienced and experimented with those moments
when they crack open, giving way to anguish and vertigo. If
perception is a sieve, what can be said of that which slips through
its net, how does one speak of what escapes? What remains of
unqualified perceptions, of vanishing sensations? Where do the
indescribable, nocturnal fears hide, the horrors lurking behind
closed eyes? What of the world beneath language and objectivated
sensation? What of the infra-world?
