FLUKS. THE COMMUNITY OF BODY FLUIDS - KRZYSZTOF PACEWICZ

The book "Fluks" by Krzysztof Pacewicz is a fascinating essay that answers the question of community in an original way. The author analyzes and criticizes the sterile, modern subject, isolated from the world and afraid of infection. The essay is a hymn to the flow of body fluids, which breaks the boundaries of political and individual bodies. It is an exercise in thinking about a material, sticky and fluid community.

• Analysis and criticism of the sterile subject
• Hymn to the flow of body fluids
• Exercise in thinking about a material community
• Dialogue with contemporary humanities and science
• Authentic thinking, uncompromising and courageous

The author argues that striving to separate from the environment has made us more lonely. The isolated subject cannot think about the community for which it longs. In an atomized world of sterile boundaries, the material nature of the community arouses disgust, being a scandal of mixing bodies and exchanging body fluids.

Krzysztof Pacewicz conducts a dialogue with various currents of contemporary humanities and science. His essay is an example of authentic, uncompromising, courageous, critical, but free thinking from dogmatism and intellectual bitterness. The book encourages reflection on the condition of modern man and his relationship with the world.

The Naukowe PWN publishing house presents "Fluks" as an important voice in the discussion about contemporary culture and society. The author, Krzysztof Pacewicz, invites you to read, which provokes thinking and questioning established patterns. It is a must-read for all those interested in philosophy, sociology and humanities.

Fluks is a fascinating, captivating essay that directly tries to answer the question posed in the competition announced by the Barbara Skarga Foundation for Thinking, but in a way that seems completely original, because the thread on which the considerations are based is the title fluks or rather a primitive mishmash, a mixture of body fluids. This open to the flow "quasi-being" is now to play the role of a keystone for considerations about the community and replace the "dry body", the subject postulated by metaphysical philosophies.
