="lstsrd">2. i have been researching europeans who came for an “adventure” to ="nms">iran in the last millennium (such as ="ppl">Olearius), and it doesn't look good. when europeans go out of their center to east it is adventure (or ="trms">anthropology), that means othering and feeling the ="trms">differences of the other in order to feel outside. but when, for example ="nms">iranians go to Europe, they never feel they are there for “adventure,” they are there to learn. the mode of adventure plays this role in the colonial dynamic of “going out there”

“When, each evening, the guru sat down to proceed with the evening prayer the ashram's cat was in the way and distracted the monks so, he ordered that the cat should be attached during the evening prayers. A long time after the guru's death the cat continued to be attached during the evening prayer. Then, when the cat finished by dying, another cat was brought to the ashram so that it could be duly attached during the evening prayers. Centuries later the guru's disciples wrote wise treatises on the essential role of the cat in the good order of all prayers.” (DeMerlo)

An old answer is “essences,” the answer given by ="ppl">Aristotle. But if one rejects essentialism then there is no choice but to answer the ="trms">question like this='lgc'>: all objective entities are products of a ="trms">historical process, that is, their identity is synthesized or produced as part of ="trms">cosmological, geological, biological, or ="trms">social ="trms">history. This need for a concept of “synthesis” or of “production” is what attracted ="ppl">Marx to ="ppl">Hegelian dialectics since it provided him with a model of synthesis='lgc'>: a conflict of op="trms">posites or the negation of the negation. ="ppl">Deleuze and ="ppl">Guattari, on the other hand, replace that model of synthesis with what they call a “double ="trms">articulation”='lgc'>: first, the raw ="trms">materials that will make up a new entity must be selected and pre-processed; second, they must be consolidated into a whole with properties of its own. A rock like limestone or sandstone, for example, is first ="trms">articulated though a process of sedimentation (the slow gathering and ="trms">sorting of the pebbles that are the component parts of the rock). Then it is ="trms">articulated a second time as the accumulated sediment is glued together by a process of cementation.
