Researcher in Ghent studying Europe, generally, sees through

part of a cell, which lives nondescriptly, figurative interaction,

usually connected to a small nucleus of self-affirming anything.

Trouble hermetic reason, people’s devotion: often you are not,

Less than one mile up the road never run out of the things you

never knew you wanted, dissidents, and depth of feeling, which

he accepts this risk, has lost; prefers victory to survival. Men

at his expense.

Could be a person, thing, concept, pathological projection,

cipher for desire, even nothing at all—“Work, the chase far

from being a means to glorify god and one’s own godliness

pursues “a cluster of relations” that forges an (at times uneasy)

alliance between Sacred and Profane while linking self to other

social actors in Egypt, Pakistan, France, Nigeria at earlier

moments in the long twentiethfirst century.
