The Monument as Event What relationship to time, and thus to history, have the buildings constructed today ? Is there still a place for commemorations, now that historical clashes, ruptures and upheavals, as it has been said, are things of the past ? What posterity is presently under consideration, now that the future is disconnected from the idea of progress, and is presented as an infinite prolongation of the present ? The answer is that it is this very perpetual present, seen as a perennial capitalism, that monumental works have the mission of celebrating. Thusly, it is logical that the monument now celebrates itself, as an event in itself. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
