contrary to what has been asserted,

" During his stay in London in 1862, Dostoyevsky visited the palace of the World
Exhibition
in South Kensington (which would surpass the scale of the Crystal Palace of 1851) and, by intuition, he immediately grasped the immeasurable symbolic and programmatic dimensions of the hybrid construction.

ART AS REVOLUTIONARY WEAPON
According to Althusser, Cremonini's "radical antihumanism" took him down the same road as
the great revolutionary, theoretical and political thinkers, the great mate- rialist thinkers who understood that the freedom of men is not achieved by the complacency of its ideological recognition [reconnaissance], but
by
knowledge
[connaissance] of the laws of their slavery, and that the "realization" of their concrete individuality is achieved by the analysis and mastery of the abstract relations which govern them.

I saw a
something
in the Sky
No bigger than my fist;
At first it seem'd a little speck
And then it seem'd a mist:
It mov'd and mov'd, and took at last
A certain shape, I wist.

Coleridge - Lyrical Ballads |

Con esta referencia aparece a la vista el motivo por
el que en la Modernidad la poetología -incluso y precisamente en
las primeras cosas- ha aventajado finalmente en rango a la ontolo-
gía y a la teología: la reflexividad de las relaciones modernas de co
municación hizo aparecer el carácter artificial y remilgado de la
esencia metafísica de los mensajeros, funcionarios y signos, en ge
neral, a una luz tan
nítida
que parece imposible volver ya nunca más
a los estándares de autoengaño de la antigua Europa.

Shakespeare to thee was dull, whose best wit lies
the ladies'
questions
and the fools' replies,
Old-fashion'd wit, which walk'd from town to town
In trunk-hose, which our fathers call'd the clown.
