Finally, descent attaches itself to the body. Genealogy, as an analysis of descent, is thus situated within the articulation of the body and history. Its task is to expose a body totally imprinted by history and the process of history s destruction of the body. Emergence is not a final term but simply the current episode in a series of subjugations, to chance, the difficulties of eating, shelter, etc, wars, disease, natural disasters and so forth. Genealogy seeks to reestablish the systems of subjugation, the h azardous play of dominations.
Emergence is through the struggle of forces.
In that space, is the endless play of dominations. But if interpretation is the violent or surreptitious appropriation of a system of rules, which in itself has no essential meaning, in order to impose a direction, to bend it to a new will, to force its participation in a different game, and to subject it to secondary rules, then the development of humanity is a series of interpretations. Everything that was thought immortal must be placed within history. An event, consequently, is not a decision, a treaty, a reign, or a battle but the reversal of a relationship of forces, the usurpation of power, the appropriation of a vocabulary turned against those who had once used it, a feeble domination that poisons itself as it grows lax, the entry of a masked 'other'. History should become a differential knowledge of energies and failings, heights and degenerations, poisons and antidotes.
