Michel Serres

A written work. even an abstract one, cannot help remaining a distressed witness for a long time after such events, though it does notjudge them. Perhaps what you are calling "Catharist" (did you know that my heritage descends directly from that tradition?) is the sound of lamentation that emanates from my books. This Jeremiab's cry cornes from nowhere else but those shameful wars and the horrors ofviolence. The lirst woman that 1saw naked was a young girl being Iynched by a mob; this tragic influence forrns not only the spirit and forgiveness but also the body and the senses.Conversations on Science, Culture, and Time: Michel Serres with Bruno Latour (Studies in Literature and Science) Author(s): Michel Serres and Bruno Latour Publisher: University of Michigan Press, Year: 1995 ISBN: 0472065483,9780472065486
